Do you setup a SWAP space on your drive?

I have 16GB or RAM so it's basically useless for me. Linux still set a tiny one up when I installed it, and Mac OS still used a 1Gb one for some reason. I actually need to remove a stick of RAM because it's starting to go bad and has caused random system probems. I plan on doing that soon, but removing a stick of RAM can actually slow down your computer beyond just losing RAM. Turns out RAM is twice as fast when paired with another stick that's of the same type. Tongue

yeah that's part of the nature of DDR or Double Data Rate type ram, it's more efficient to use two identical ram sticks instead of just one, especially if you have the CPU data lanes to take advantage of this, that's why there's rows of dual sets of colors where the ram mounts.

something I learned in my A+ cert course textbook Tongue

just be glad it's not parity bit SIMMS... that stuff is slow.
