I read up on what it does and I sort of think it won't make much 
difference.  I'm about to have 8Gbs of ram here and I figure it might 
help on the first load but after that, it will be cached in memory and 
very fast anyway.  I'm not to surprised that you didn't see any 
difference in speed.

I used it on a older and pretty slow rig once and it did help.  I think 
it was 800Mhz with 512Mbs of ram.  It also had some much slower IDE 
drives too.  It wasn't a huge difference but you could tell the difference.

Thanks for the reply.  Wait and see if anyone else thinks it would make 
anything faster or not.
