doncleth Posted October 30, 2003 Share Posted October 30, 2003 Hi guys, What is the benefit of expanding my 1040STe's memory to 4MB? Will programs load faster or play better ie. smoother graphics/scrolling on games? TIA, Don Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gregory DG Posted October 30, 2003 Share Posted October 30, 2003 I upgraded mine to 4 meg years ago (back when 1 meg was $50!). I didn't really notice any difference when running 1 app. There real benefit comes when you run a multitasking OS like Geneva or MiNT and have a lot of programs running at the same time.

Ayreon Posted October 30, 2003 Share Posted October 30, 2003 Extra mem. can be used as ram disk, wich can be handy for a handfull of things. And ofcourse there are games that take advantage of the extra memory Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
