doncleth #1 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gregory DG #2 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.
