    I just upgraded the ram on my laptop to 2gb, but dont notice that much of a difference. Everything seems the same. (i got 667 ram and its running in dual channel)

    I ran 3dmarks06 and got 2187.. which is wierd because with 1gb ram i got a score of 2224.

    Whats so great about 2gb ram anyways?

    Are you on XP or Vista?

    Strange, because of Vista, upgrading from 1GB to 1.5GB for me was like 128MB to 512MB on XP

    In terms of synthetic benchmarks like 3DMark06/05 you may not see the difference due to the fact there is a natural tedency to havea +/- 300 marks. You can run them several times and each time it will be different.

    For ram, you can already see the difference in boot time, also check out how much faster your applications are loading, games, smoothness of games. Your overall experience of Vista should be smoother.

    Hope this clarifies some for you.
