You get better performance with DDR2, plain and simple.
But yea, just buy another of the same stick and plug it in. 3 gigs is better than 2. You'll notice a performance increase for sure.

I don't want to get into processors or anything, but if you ever consider a processor upgrade or even a mobo upgrade, I can help.


As far as your mono clips...

Thanks for all the advice, FD. If I ever upgrade my processor, I'll know whom to ask.

Here's a new symptom of my out-of-sync tracks that may help you diagnose the problem. I realized today that if I start playing back the song in the MIDDLE, then THE TRACKS ARE IN SYNC for a little while. However, if I start playback of the song at the BEGINNING, then by the time it gets to the middle the tracks are noticeably out-of-sync...assuming the program hasn't crashed on me, which it has a tendency to do.

So, this does sound like a memory problem, doesn't it? Hopefully one additional GB of RAM will allow the computer to have fewer problems storing the data or whatever it isn't doing well now. I'll buy the third stick and hope that helps.

I guess this is yet another reason I should limit my songs to 3 minutes! These 5-minuters are too much for my system to handle...and probably almost anyone's system, esp. when I'm singing about my favorite topic!
