Hi guys

I just added another stick of memory to me computer to make it 384mb, I'm wondering if I have to make any adjustments to my computer settings to optimize the amount of ram I've got.

Thanks

Once the RAM is installed the OS should automatically see it and strt using it.

What exactly do you mean by "optimise"?

One suggestion since you are using XP would be to increase the RAM to at least 512.

I read somewhere that when adding ram you may have to adjust a setting (I'm notsure which) to get the full use out of the ram. It maybe false what I reading thats why I'm posting here, so I can get the truth.

Your system is using an Intel processor, you do not need to tweak RAM clock speeds at all.
