Hey everyone, Well my friend has about a 3 year old eMachine and as of recently he has started to see many issues arise in his PC. We just did an RAM upgrade to 2GB total since that is all his Mobo supports. About 2 days after installing the RAM, his computer began to become extremely slow. It takes forever to boot into Normal and Safe Mode, his mouse lags across the screen when you move it, PC games are unplayable, and when ever you click a program or the Start Menu it will freeze with that. My first thought was to run several AV scans, so I did and those came up clean. Then I ran a Chkds

Hello again, Sorry for the delay! The holidays got a hold of me and I just got in early this morning.

It can also lead to a clash as both products fight for access to files which are opened again this is the resident/automatic protection. I

I think I am leaning towards the Corsairs. Is the 2.1 volts on them though going to make any difference?

Well the Corsair is only 39 bucks after rebate and they are pretty reputible, so I might just end up going with that. The other companies are also known in the gaming community, all the RAM I posted is gaming RAM. Thanks again so far for your input!

I am upgrading from 2GB of RAM to 4GB total. I am going to completly replace what I have and add 2x2GB sticks. I have the following in mind, but not sure which one you guys think is best. Don't really want to go over 50 bucks. None of the ones I picked do with rebates. G.SKILL 1 G.SKILL 2 Patriot Viper CORSAIR XMS2 Thanks again for all your input!
