DDR3 costs less thank ddr2 according to me. But i will opt to update only 2 gb of ddr2 and not run linux because another user said a friend of him had problems with sl compatibility thank you for your help what do you think? i have found a seller here where I'm liviing .I will pay 30 for 1 slot and 2 slot 60 and i will have the option to resend back to them if the ram will not work and be refunded i will opt for 1 slot... I don't know about html5 and future ... so I think that will be the best possibility to update a little my pc. what do you think? -

yeah but even if i could read english easily I could not understand all the meaning in the guideline.. thank you for your information. I will probably opt to update only the ram and use sl in low graphic level until It will not be anymore possible i think a 2g ram would cost 30 euro and i think i would benefict from the updating because as i saId i could not buy a pc now and my first buying will be a laptop. I will try the same brand and the same frequent. there will be problems? -

yeah you said cheaper And you need to add that i have to contact a pc expert for changing all... so motherboard + 8 ram + video card + pc expert hour to work on it. i could add ram and video card by myself What do you think of upgrading the ram to 4 and using sl with linux? need i also to upgrade my video card? i had a dual boot 10 years ago I remembered there was a software partition magic that it is very easy use to use... i did it also using dos but I forgot how to do... which is the best linux distribution? -

so what do you think i need to do to have much graphic on sl? if i use sl with linux that uses less cpu and ram and with a new video card could I use more graphic level with no slowing in writing? I was talking about the video card because I could split money: basically updating my video card now and using sl with linux and buy later ram because actually wind 8 is not much in trouble for what i do -

I found out that my video card is very outdate, nvidia webpage says it is 256 mb http://www.geforce.com/hardware/desktop-gpus/geforce-9600-gt/specifications but with cpu z software it recognizes 512 mbytes in the reccomend sl specifications they talk about these video cards NVIDIA Graphics cards 9000 Series: 9600, 9800Need I to upgrade my video card even using Linux ? what's your thoughts? -

well probably i wil opt for a dual boot with linux for sl : it requires less cpu usage https://secondlife.com/support/system-requirements/ 1.5 mhz and accorting to what wrote in sl official reccommended requirement it is good this video card sohttp://www.geforce.com/hardware/desktop-gpus/geforce-9600-gt/specifications THAT IT IS STILL 512 MB AS MINE VIDEO CARD what do you think is the reason why when i change the sl settings from low to mid in video graphic section I have slowing in writing messages? DOES IT DEDEND ON VIDEO CARD RAM OR CPU? I will still use windows 8 and probably update the ram so I can use word office and .... -

what do you mean saying the exact same match ( could i opt for one slot with the same brand and same frequency or i need to buy all the 2 slot again?) i would opt for this video card :VGA ASUS NVIDIA GeForce GT 640 Core 1046MHz Memory GDDR5 5010MHz 1024MB DVI HDMI because ist is auto alimented so i don't need alimentation -

1 win 7 was very worse it requires a lot of more ram, it is so much better win 8. http://www.dailytech.com/Windows+8+is+Using+Less+Memory+Than+Windows+7/article22986.htm http://blogs.msdn.com/b/brunoterkaly/archive/2013/01/14/windows-8-is-definitely-faster-than-windows-7.aspx sorry this is what i read and what i noted but I'm not an expert 2 I can't use linux because I need my dictionaries i need word files and compatibility. 3 unfortunately I can't buy a new one, i need also to buy a new laptop. so even it is old i would not like to put aside. i have no problem with win 8 at the moment i would only like to know if i will have a better solution updating ram firstly. and secondly video card for using it on second life... -

yeah someone said me that i need to find a slot of ram identical is that true? I mean if i find a slot of ram that has made by the same company so with the same brand and with the same frequency will be the same? -

what do you mean by saying If it's routinely swapping to disk? It takes a bit sometimes to run a software it is depending on the lack of the ram? -

I have not used sl for a long time 4 years. it was easy to find place where there were a lot of people. I would like to find places where I can have a discussion in english WITH VOICE because I want to improve my english(almost fluent), both with native speakers and with people from all around the world. do you have any suggestions for the first one and the seconds? it's very nice to use sl for debating...

i don't want to spend money at the moment I don't game I only use sl for english improvement. do you think my pc would benefit from adding 2 more ram even not considering (apart from) sl? I don't have problems using sl with the lowest graphic level, but I would like to have more graphic because I will use it even in the future as second computer. -

are you saying that i will be more fast in writing messages? even if my cpu is so old? because i tried to change from low to med level quality... but i found out that it was using also more cpu ... what do you think? could it be stand a cpu so old ? -
I have a dual core 2.0 mhz cpu, 2gb ram and a nvidia ge force 8400 gs... I'm using right now sl wiht a low level graphich settings I would like to have more graphich option and to change it to med level but when i do it i have slowind in writing ont the chat box. I would like to update my pc even if it is a old one. WOULD i benefit if i add 2 more ram? and if i update my video card? or sl depend more on cpu usage and if i change from low to med level i will also use more processor and it would be a lot slow... what do you think about it? at moment I'm at 60 70 usage cpu from task manager.
