Adding RAM

The report looks fine to me. Is your system running slower than before,
or is it just running slower than U expect it to be? A memory upgrade
will not necessarily boost the speed of your system if U already had
enough RAM before the upgrade. Utilised memory doesn't do anything to
enhance your system speed.
If it's running slower than before the upgrade, then did U make any
changes to your OS recently? Anything that U could remember?
The last thing I can think up of is that your old AMD CPU cannot cope
with the additional RAM, as it has too little internal cache. That
could have caused the slowdown. Try removing 1 of the memory strips and
see if there's a performance gain.
