Something similar happened to me before. When the RAM was removed, I'm guessing it recieved a shock of static and killed the RAM. Luckily, it was on warranty and got it replaced.

Faulty RAM or you shocked it while putting it in...

no Reaper. the best idea is to check the pagefile settings

WindowsXP can survive just fine on 64mbs as long as it has enough pagefile space

and with Windows 9x, the extra ram doesn't really matter as processes aren't stored in ram but in the gdi files

What's that for crazy talk

More RAM is always better , But because Windows and all kind of programs use a lot of ram a pagefile was made, to free RAM memory and don't kill off processes and programs...

So, if you have more RAM the less of the pagefile (virtual memory) it needs to use...

If windows says the pagefile is too small... It means that your RAM is full and the pagefile too and it still needs memory so it makes the pagefile bigger to load more of the unused processes in the pagefile and free the RAM...

in some cases yes

but then again i have 512 mbs of memory and i can have like 128mbs free and if the pagefile is disabled or set to low it'll tell me its increasing the size or to enable it due to not enough ram

but then again i've also found that certain programs i have, will actually cause this if they crash, as well

That's just because it makes sure it will allways have enough memory

exactly

which is what im saying
maybe the pagefile is too low

and people saying set it to 1.5x the memory in your system are just dumbasses coz letting windows set the default size sets it to 1.5x the amount of memory

Ahhh but I have this thing which measures your RAM and it's always on full . Making my pc really slow. And i mean slow

hmmm. msg_plus_freak, have u checked wot type of RAM u need if u gonna buy it from me such as PC2100, PC2700, PC3200?!

YEp I have! Ill send a screen shot



Is that right? I think it is! Oh and how much will you sell it for?

i think £60 should cut it
let me no if thats ok or if u wanna haggle lol
also how u gonna pay? have u got paypal?
