How much Ram?
I recently discovered why I kept having display driver failures. It turned out to be bad ram. I had boosted my ram a few years ago from 3GB to 8GB, maxing out my Gateway/Athlon dual core PC. I removed the replacement ram (Kingston ValuRam) and put back in the ram that came with the computer. Suddenly no more DDF's! I can play solitaire and Mahjong again.However, I now have only 3GB ram, which is not enough to run 64bit stuff. My W7 is 64 bit. It's running fine, and for what I do with this rig, it may be enough. All I use it for is internet, gaming is limited to the above-mentioned, not exactly CPU-hogging stuff.
So my question is, should I leave well-enough alone, or should I try to figure out which of the replacement ram sticks was bad, thus getting my rig back up at least to 4GB, and thus 64bit capable?
Thanks, Mike
