Help with a RAM question...

[Subjugation]

(already posted this in the right forum, but i got no answers.)

Depending on your processor, is there a limit to how much your PC can utilize? Is there a ceiling that you will reach, when you just don't get any additional performance improvement?

I am running a 2yr old 1.2 Ghz AMD Athlon, and when I went to Frys, they had a sale on RAM. I bought 512Mb, because it was a good price. So I'm running 1.25GB of RAM on the 1.2 Gig processor.

What kinds of improvements would I notice with a faster processor? (like, faster boot process, faster AV scans, etc...)

What kinds of improvements would I notice with a lot of RAM? (like, faster boot process, faster AV scans, etc...)

Yes, I know I'm a newb. Thanks for the help.

Cool thanks.

Article in that link has been written over 5 years ago. I'd say a lot has changed after that.

I noticed that too, but beggars can't be choosey.

Sure they can, they'll just suck at it.
