My work machine has been pretty slow as of late, and after running a spyware scan I concluded that it's because I'm a little low on memory (only 1GB). So, just for an experiment I cannibalized my home machine and threw some more memory in the work one. Now, with 1.5GB it seems to run much faster, so I went online and found another 1GB (2 512MB modules) for $80, shipped. It's a wonderous age in which we live.
