RE: Virtual Memory?
Yea its definately an older comp. Probably 3-4 years old. My parents have a brand new desktop they gave to me, but I only have wireless here. And funny enough its because Im stealing it from my neighbor. Would I need to buy a wireless card or something along those lines for the desktop to work? Or do some new desktops come with wireless cards already?
PS Im not a gamer |

RE: Virtual Memory?
Physically popping the ram in is easy. It's finding out how much ram your laptop can actually take, and what kind you need, thats going to be the tuff part

RE: Virtual Memory?
ORIGINAL: Nauree ORIGINAL: travsstuff virtual memory = RAM........ when was the last time you turned your computer off?....try doing that. Programmers are notorious for having memory bugs in programs, they allocate memory and then dont give it back to the OS when they are done with it....this causes your RAM to slowly fill up....just turn off your computer and let your RAM refresh for a few seconds and you should be good to go again.....get some more RAM too virtual memory != RAM. When your physical memory is fully used, your computer uses your hard drive as a memory storage device. Your computer allocates space on your hard drive to use it as virtual memory. When you have too much crap on your hard drive and not enough physical memory then you get that message. When your physical memory is fully used, your computer uses your hard drive as a memory storage device. Your computer allocates space on your hard drive to use it as virtual memory, called a page file. When your page file is filled up, then you get that message. Your hard drive can be completely empty and you will still get the error message if your page file is full. |

Physical memory is not hard to use up... especially when you are running memory intensive applications. When windows can no longer dump data to a virtual memory (page file) you're gonna run into problems... such as low virtual memory warning. Considering he only has 384 megs of RAM it's no rocket science why he is having issues. |
