i dont understand your question. Memory is hardware. so if you read into what type of slot your mother baord has you can upgrade memory with that type. If you want a performance boost  you can look into what services you have on that you don't need. After obtaining a spreadsheet of the services and there function along with weather you need it or not. You can go to services and deactivate the ones you dont need. Like the one that makes the blue windows interface, that slows your computer down so much that its rediculus. You can also increase the virtual ram?\n\nOK in order to do this. You right click the My computer Icon first. Then you select preferances. Then you select the advanced Tab. Then you hit the settings tab under performance. There select the advanced tab.\n\nyou will see the virtual memory section there. Hit change.\n Under your C drive local disk you can selct custOm size.\n\nThere is an equation to give  you the best posible size depending on your processor and hard drive. It must be a hex number meaning it is dividable by 8.

I am not giving you any diagrams but giving you the name of the two must have utility programs:\n1.RamBooster/Free RAM XP Pro : Both are equally good(free) and prevent clogging of your virtual memory. With it, you will have less hang-ups and freezings. I recommend it for all those who have 256/512 MB of RAM. Here are the links to both, get any one (getting both would be foolishness, they are like twins)\nhttp://www.download.com/RAMBooster/3000-2086_4-10465453.html?tag=lst-0-1\nhttp://www.download.com/FreeRAM-XP-Pro/3000-2086_4-10516960.html?tag=lst-0-6\n\n2.CCleaner: A multi-utility program, which gets rid of all your trash files, obsolete registries and unwanted auto-start entries with the click of a few buttons. And its FREE and absolutely miniscule! Anyone would love it.\nhttp://www.ccleaner.com/

There are memory optimizer type programs for computers. Try Tune-Up Utilities 2006 (free 30 day trial) It has a memory optimization section in there.\nhttp://www.tune-up.com/\nfree to try for 30 days, great program. \nRAM is pretty dirt cheap now, easier to just put some more in.

First, if you wanna know what it is, windows saves the crap you have open, but are currently not using to optimize your PC's performance. Say you have a program open, but are not using it, instead of wasting your precious memory, the system just saves it on the hard drive so your computer can run faster. Once you start using it again, it will go back to the RAM.\n\nThis could be caused by a few things. You can a) restart your PC, b)if you get this message on startup, you can try start>run> and type "msconfig" and deselect your unnecessary startup items c) increase the size of your page file, if that doesn't work, d)you might be low on hard drive space all together, so you may need to uninstall some stuff to make room or get a new hard drive, or e) buy more RAM.

Check the Memory on your PC, it may be faulty.

Check the BIOS, maybe 128MB is used as Video RAM.  If that's the case, you are really OK.  But you might be looking at getting more RAM.   Visit http://www.coastmemory.com and look up your system. \n\nGood luck

I would recommend going to http://www.crucial.com/index.asp and using their memory finder if you ever have another question like this.  They also have an auto detect memory feature (see sources) if you don't know the model number or it's a custom built computer.  Once you know, then buy it cheaper somewhere else like newegg.  Give a man a fish and all that...

I assume what you're talking about is the amount of RAM available to your system, which can be found out without doing a reset of your computer. Go to Start > Run and then type in "dxdiag". The amount of memory available will be on the first page.

The difference in memory installed is probably being used by your video card.  It looks like around 22MBytes.

virtual memory is some space that you take from your hard drive and use as memory.\nyou should first check partitions of your hard drive that have better free space.\nthen (in windows XP) right click on "my computer" click "properties" then in "advanced" tab, click on "settings" button in performance part,then click on "advanced" and then "change" in virtual memory part.then select each partition you want and select custom size and give it some space in that partition.remember that your total virtual memory shouldn't reach more than 1.5 times of your RAM.  \nhope that it helps

Here's a few things you might want to think about:\n\nPress {windows} and {pause break} and see if it's reporting your full memory amount.  \n\nWatch the performance tab in task manager and watch your memory usage as you copy and paste.\n\nAre you managing your swap file manually or do you let Windows do it?  \n\nAlso, try running memtest to check your memory for errors:\n\nhttp://hcidesign.com/memtest/MemTest.zip
