Attempting to work out a little process of elimination, a customer purchased an A new system from me, brand new Acer Veriton, 2GB RAM, 3.0 processor.
His old system was a Systemax from about 4 years ago and he upgraded that to 4 GB of ram before it died.
So knowing when he bought this I advised him the system may be a little bit slower and we can purchase more RAM if he decides to go for it. Today I call him back with his RAM cost, and I am told the system runs slow, he goes to google and search is slow, it is just not as fast, etc.
I suggested we move on with the RAM upgrade.
This leads to my question, I know he uses Magic Jack, he has 5 USB devices out of 8 hooked up. I am not sure if he has installed anything else over the weekend and won't know for sure until Thursday.
Does anyone know if Magic Jack is known to utilize a bit of memory? For what it seems to do I can't imagine on 2GB (though that doesn't seem much these days) that little piece of software would be a memory hog?
I am going to guess 4GB just will speed things up, may it be to his expectations I am not sure.
