"I think he may have gone from dual channel to single channel. "

That changes nothing!


Things To Check:

• RAM Brand Eg: Kensington - What Brand Do You Have!
  
• Check What Speed That RAM Is Running At Eg: 677 - 800Mhz
  
• Are YOUR Ram Modules Running At Different Speeds.
  
• Check What Your Graphic Cards Optimum/Recommended RAM Eg:The 8800 GTX Recommended RAM is Around 2GB - 3GB If you go over the recommended RAM it may slow down graphical games by 50%. But In Other Cases It Speeds FPS up by 3 - 10% +
  
• Check Your Processors > Has The New Driver Put Shit Running In The Background?
  
• Lastly Have You Changed Any Timing's in Your BIOS?

Ok so what happened is Im using a Dell laptop with an integrated 256mb Radeon vid card and when I added 2gigs of RAM (677hz, dual Channel DDR2) the bios auto setting for Video RAM assignment wigged out, so if anybody dose that upgrade u need to make sure the bios setting for Vid RAM is manually set to 265mb.

FIXED IT! The bios settup was assigning the lowest video RAM on auto, set it to 256mb and life is good again B)

I upgraded my RAM from 1 gig to 2.5 on a Windows Vista laptop with a Dual Core 2.1 GIG Turion CPU, upgraded my Video driver for my Radeon X1270 card and my frame rate dropped dramaticaly, Any Ideas????
