Technical Difficulties: Help?
I like to think that I'm pretty technically savvy - I can usually fix things that break in day-to-day use (on the computer or elsewhere), but sometimes I get a bit lost. Case: my computer, which has a 3 GHz Intel in it, was running slow even after a reformat, so I decided to bump up my RAM by a gigabyte.
That's all done, but I have seen no improvement in speed - I still get lags opening files and programs, and dealing with graphics in any way makes it go all slow and unhappy. Did I miss a step in installing the new RAM? Do I need to allocate it somehow? Or do I just need to suck it up until I can afford a newer system?
