My computer has three DIMM slots for memory. I have two PC100 128MB chips and several PC100 64MB chips. My intention was to fill all three slots and have 320MB total. However, a friend said I'd be better off to only put the two 128MB chips in and that would give the fastest speed.
While I can understand that less chips would be faster if the application(s) will run in that amount of ram, I fail to see how swapping to the hard drive would be better if the additional 64MB would avoid the swap.
I've spent about 30 minutes searching through Google but was unable to find this specific question asked, let alone answered.
Thanks in advance if someone will enlighten me.
