Hi guys, i have a simple question......
today i installed a 512mb ram chip in my 15" 1.33ghz powerbook..........so.....i had 256 as normal.........and now i have 768.............and even when it seem faster (i still have to test it more with daily use) but even when it seems faster i tested with xbench and the results with 256 ram where better than with 768................
with the stock 256 it was 116.68, and with 768 i test it 3 times: 1) 108, but i had a few application opened, so i closed them and tested it again....and 115 was the best one.............so 115 after upgrading ram?......and 116.68 with only 256 stock?............anything wrong?.....or is this normal
now i have more things in my hard drive (more videos and mp3's and programs ......than before) but i don't think that's a problem.
thanks for inputs
Update: it is faster.......but i don't know why the xbench came out worst than with the stock 256.
P.S. by the way the memory brand i bought was CENTON ELECTRONICS www.centon.com is this good?...
i know crucial is the most recommended here but i asked an uncle so buy the memory at compusa and he got that one (the guy from the store told him that it was compatible with Apple)....
...and since i told him to get PC2700 and gave him every little detail....well it's working because my pbook inmediatly recognized it
what do you think about CENTON?
