Hi to all,
We are using Video editing software, and rendering our movies to VCD (mpeg format). The computer used to get stuck in the middle of the rendering (with short movies it worked well) and the software didn't respond. We decided to increase the Ram memory.
2 days ago, we added DDR SDRAM Kingston 512mb 333Mhz PC2700. Now we've got 2 new problems:
1. The computer works slower....
2. Rendering still gets stuck (not immidiatly like before)....
The questions are:
1. should we replace the RAM memory to faster and bigger? or,
should we get a new powerful video graphic card?
2. Why does the computer work slower with the new additional RAM?
Pentium 4 2Ghz Dell Dimension 4550.
DDR SDRAM Samsung 512mb 266Mhz PC2700.
DDR SDRAM Kingston 512mb 333Mhz PC2700.
64mb Gforce4 MX 420 AGP X4 256bit 2048X1536.
40gb ATA-100 7200 rpm.
Looking Forward for your answers. Sigal&John.
