Too much Ram?

[cyberdad]

I have an MSI KT3 Ultra Via KT333 mainboard with an AMD Athlon XP2100 Processor. I am wanting to increase my RAM from 256 MEG to 768 by adding two more modules. I am a beginner Flight Simmer. Question: Is there such a thing as too much RAM?

There can always be too much SLOW ram

What OS?

Any version of Windows 9X will require adjusting settings to get it to work with memory > 512MB.

Cheers!

There's no such thing as too much ram...but....768 is a little overkill for today. 512 works fine for most people.

Sharkeeper is correct.

NO!

Especially not with MicroSlop OSs.

KT333 boards can loose a little stability with all of their memory banks populated. I recommend using as few sticks of RAM as possible.

The reason is with more sticks of RAM you get greated capcitance and crosstalk in the memory lines.

I would go with 512 since you can do that with two sticks of RAM and it should be enough for you.
