Re: Installed new ram -- received worse performance

Sam,

If your performance problem is an I/O problem, we can help. My web site <http://www.imperialtech.com> has a white paper entitled "The Tragedy of Throwing Memory at an I/O Problem." It is in the "White Papers" section.

Imperial Technology manufactures a product called MegaRam Solid State Disk systems, as well as MegaCache Intelligent Inline Cache systems; we've been manufacturing these for more than 20 years. These devices are hundreds of times faster than rotating disks.

If you'd like me to send you the White Paper, either fill out the "Contact Us" form on my site or send me an email and I can send you the document in PDF format.
