Re: Increased Memory .. Poor Vista Performance

Installed 4GB (Twin Packs -Corsair XMS Twin2048-3200c2). Unable to find
Corsair Matched Twin CMX2048-3700PT.

Sisoft Sandra recognizes 4GB and Vista System Information indicates Memory
(Ram) 3070 MB.

This thing is struggling.

Thanks for your response!!
