A auras Solid State Member Messages 11 Mar 7, 2007 #1 Okay, I have 1.5 gigs of ram (two 256 mb sticks, one 1 gig stick). They're in dual channel config. I've heard this lowers performance, and my computer is slow to load games and such, even though I have a great cpu and graphics card. Can anyone help?
