I installed an extra 2GB of memory in this thing a few weeks back, and ever since then it's been running a bit slowly. Not usually noticable, but when watching 720p video it totally fails to keep up.
I've just dropped it back down to 1GB and it's fine now <!--emo&<_<--><img src='http://i2.ifrm.com/html/emoticons/dry.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='dry.gif' /><!--endemo-->
It wasn't running dual channel or anything clever, and the new memory is the same speed as the old one. It passes all tests fine, and never gave me any errors or crashes... just made everything slow!
It was the same under XP, Windows 7 and Ubunto so it's not an OS or software issue.
Grrr.
Yet another "job" to try and fix...
*edit* just put the 2GB stick in by itself and that's fine too. I guess it just doesn't like non-matching memory, which is annoying. I think most of my machines have ended up with odd combinations in and been just fine.
That's two sticks of ram for eBay then - I still have the one from the netbook to get rid of too.
