need more ram?

i have corsair 512 3200 xms im thinking of getting 2gig (1gX2 sticks) is that overkill? any suggestions my mother boards asus p4p-800e deluxe and i have intel p4 2.8ghz chip. my memory is getting full quickly and everything slows down (i think)

What programs are you running?
Have you defragged lately?
Do you dedicate the computer to burning only?
Do you turn-off your Anti-virus while burning?

More info in = More info out.

umm im running alot of things but it used to be quicker until i updated nero i have 3 hdds one for just running window one for all other programs and one for storing data my virus software has been on all the time and im usually conected to the net aswell when i contrl alt del there's a lot of processes but i dont have a clue what thery are. i have system mechanics and in the optomize section the defrag ram section drops below target level very quickly
i defag my hdd once a week and virus and adware once a week too
ill paste nero log file is everything looking ok

Yes, I would go to at least 1 gig with all the crap uh! stuff you have installed.

DMA looks fine. Do you really need two versions of AnyDVD and CloneDVD?
Delete some of your unused programs.
DVD Decrypter Version 3.2.3.0 is an older version BTW. Get 3.5.4.0

You need to find out what all the processes you are running are for, for your own information. Free up your resources.

You really should not be doing anything with the computer while you are encoding, transcoding or burning. It takes a lot of system resources.

Regards,

P.S. It is very late and I am going to bed.

Easy way to check, hit cntrl, alt del. Click the performance tab. Your page file can be whatever but if thier are spikes on the graph, that means you are actually using your page file. If you are using your page file, you do not have enough memory. Click the processes tab, and add it up...

just looking at anydvd there are 2 programs but one is the registration key they sent me is 1g enough im prepeared to buy 2g so i wont have to upgrade thets my theory or am i just stroking with the 2g?

I have 1 system with 1gb, and another with 2gb. There is absolutely no noticable difference in encoding times on the systems. With the 1gb system, I have mcafee suite running in background, plextools, and about 20 other things. I haven't had a single problem. 1GB of memory is more than enough.

thanx guys
ok i have 2x 256mb stick should i buy another 2 or get rid of them and go for 2x512 my mother board needs 2 sticks and has four slots
