   Hi All,   
   I've got a Dimension 8400 w/a P4 3.62 and 1 GB DDR PC2-3200 RAM. I'm   
   running XP SP2 and use my PC mostly for 'net access, downloading music   
   and video, ripping & burning CDs and DVDs, some video capture and   
   manipulation to burn to DVDR. I also have Dragon Naturally speaking   
   which I'd like to use more often but it doesn't always respond as fast   
   as I think it could w/ a bit more RAM. I'm thinking of bringing my   
   total RAM to 3 GB. My question is, how big a difference would there be   
   if I were to use fast RAM such as

   as apposed to a slower RAM like THIS...

    I'm aware I'd have to upgrade to the 2 512 MB chips to the same   
   speed. Would there be a big difference in Dragon's responsiveness? Any   
   info is greatly appreciated!
