base score lower than expected
I'm setting up a new computer for a friend. It has a Sempron 3200 running at
1.8GHz and 512 GB RAM (shared with the video, I think) with Vista Home Basic
(bottom of the line, I know).
The processor score is 3.7, not great but acceptable. But the RAM score is
only 2.0. Why is it so low? It's all new equipment from a computer
superstore. I don't care about graphics for games, because there will be no
games on this computer. But apparently something about the RAM is cutting
overall performance by 46%!
Is half a gig of ram considered inadequate these days? What can I do to
speed up this thing?
