Hi from Chiangmai

When Sketchup first came outI loaded it and as far as I remember it worked just fine.
Since then I've upgraded to 10.5, and stuck in bigger HD and RAM, well have a look:

Intel ICH7-M AHCI:

and as for RAM upgraded to two of these:

BANK 0/DIMM0:

Size: 1 GB
Type: DDR2 SDRAM
Speed: 667 MHz
Status: OK
Manufacturer: 0x7F98000000000000
Part Number: 0x31472D534F44494D4D000000000000000000
Serial Number: 0xA130D89D



Now when I get to any size at all of Sketchup drawing, when I click to make a move I get the dreaded spinning beachball, for about 10-12 seconds each time. It's too much for comfort, really bloody annoying.

Whilst I mention it I just occasionally get the beachball in other apps, like Firefox, and have to force quit.

I bought the RAM generically, it's Kingston, would that be OK, certainly is most of the time?
If not......what?

thanx
