More RAM or better proccesor

6 posts by 6 people · 11 Feb 1999 - 11 Feb 1999

What would probably give me the biggest speed boost? Right now I run a Pentium 166 with 32 megabytes of RAM. Should I upgrade the RAM or the proccesor? Thanks!

I would recommend a processor upgrade. Of course a P2/450 with 32mb would do better than your machine, but you would need to buy new RAM and case as well. > What would probably give me the biggest speed boost?

Check the specs on your motherboard and get a faster AMD K6 processor that will max out the limits of your motherboard. :? >What would probably give me the biggest speed boost? Right now I run a >Pentium 166 with 32 megabytes of RAM. Should I upgrade the RAM or the >proccesor? Thanks!
!!BOTH!! Pentiums are aincient history for the *** world. Pentium2s will be going that way soon to. This again is just for the *** world. Pentiums are still good for the general office work though. > What would probably give me the biggest speed boost? Right now I run a > Pentium 166 with 32 megabytes of RAM.

If you get a K6-2 processor you can use the 66 Mhz ram in your computer, as long as you run your processor on a 66 Mhz bus. Also you're more likely to find a K6-2 Motherboard that supports your old ram, than a PII board which generally use the 144 pin Dimms (you probably have 72 pin memory). >What would probably give me the biggest speed boost?
