Weird :) Perhaps you did something else as well to your system (eg. cleared
up Window's files, etc) when you upgraded? Are you running 95/98 or NT?
I've benchmarked two identical systems, down to running the exact same hard
disk drive, except for the difference in RAM, and I got identical results in
98. Perhaps the benchmarking software (ZD's Winbench suite, Quake 2's
monster timedemo, among others) weren't strict enough in testing, but I sure
couldn't tell the difference between either system when running software.
Less crashes... I've got an overclocked 450MHz Celery here running 24/7 and
it has never crashed with 64 megs. :)
