I have just upgraded from 3gb of 667mhz ram to 2gb of 1066 OCZ reaper, i have it set up according to OCZs recommendations and since installing it i have noticed a major performance decrease. my pc can no longer multi task, i get major lag after closing anything really demanding, until about 2 mins after closing it i cant do anything else. i am trying to find out if there is a problem with one of my modules, both sticks are recognized and at idle windows says its using about 650 / 2046 mb.

Advice would be appreciated
 
i know in the case of the multi tasking that thats probably why its lagging but hardware monitors show that its only using about 1200mb. i was expecting single programs to run a bit faster tho due to a 50% increase in the speed of the ram.
