is it possible to have too much ram?

Most likely, the RAM stick you removed has a lower speed rating or latency than the other one.  Try alternating them and see if you get more speed.  If so, replace the slow stick with one of the same latency.\n\nWhen you purchase the stick, try to find out the SPD timings and latency beforehand.  The lower the numbers, the faster the RAM.  This is a major performance factor.  Good luck.

Theoretically, there is no limit to RAM speed. In fact, maximum speed depends on your motherboard and on your budget. You cannot download RAM, you have to add it to your hardware (i.e. open your computer case and add a RAM stick... you may want to ask a specialist friend though).

Sounds like you do have too many applications, like I did. Adding more RAM will fix the problem.  It cost me $60.00, and it was worth it; isn't that aggravating!\n\nHope this helps.

The virtual memory is the what is used when your RAM is full, or otherwise used. The data stored there is already processed, but not in use. It's actually inefficient, compared to more RAM. \n\n   If you have quite a bit free space, but the message still appears, follow these instructions:\n\n1. Go to the Control Panel. On the Start Menu for Windows XP, or Start Menu/Settings for Windows 95/95, ME and 2000 users. \n\n2. Click on the System icon. \n\n3. Change to the Advanced tab, and then click the Settings button under Performance. \n\n4. Click on the Advanced tab on the window that opens, then click on the Change buttong in the Virtual Memory section. \n\n5. From there, you can increase the numbers to a reasonable amount, such as 750 on Initial and 1150 on Maximum.

easy...\n\ngo to kingston.com and use their ram wizard...  No guess work.\n\nAnoosh's suggestion just uses the system info in the registry.  It can be inaccurate.

Sounds like something running in the background....I dont know why people insist on running programs they aint using! They hog system rescources, mainly ram! Ram is an area of memory that does the actual running of your software. To make it simple....say you have 128 megs of ram. You have a game that requires 64 megs to run...you also have weatherbug, yahoo messenger, and god knows whatelse also sharing this ram and using another 100 megs. What do you suppose happens? CLOSE ALL that bullshit down! Stop some of that crap from running on startup! You will be MUCH happier with the way your system runs!

Buy larger capacity sticks of ram like 512MB sticks or 1GB sticks.

You either dont have enough ram or you got too many other apps runnin!

it could be you don't have enough RAM or Mhz.

no need for another 1gb ram, is that brand new one if yes go back to the store and return it and if you have an old one installed and trying to add a new one maybe your memory old and new are not compatible to each other pls  check if is the  same brand , model and frequency, any of these indefference can cause you malfunction in your pc.

You might have a lot of programs running and have little RAM memory left. Or maybe you might have a virus. I recomend that you check for viruses and for your memory.

Sometimes when you are low on virtual memory it can mean that you have too many programs running at the same time. The more programs you run at once the more virtual memory you use. There is a section of your hard drive that the computer uses as swap space/virtual memory while you run programs it stores some of the files there when your RAM starts getting filled up. \n\nYou can increase the size of your virtual memory by right clicking on My Computer and choosing properties, then choose the advanced tab and under performace choose the settings button. Once that opens there should be an advanced tab there too and there you can change the size of your virtual memory. I think the default is somewhere around 768mb you may want to up that to 1gig. \n\nAlso you can just watch what you are opening and don't open many programs at once. \n\nFound a few links for you to read up on virtual memory\n\nGood Luck~

the processes are to heavy for the amount of RAM you have... get more RAM. x

Nobody uses that much horsepower. Unless you are using the pc for a database that is accessed by thousands or something. Or into animation graphics. There is no need for 2 gigs of ram either. But if you are content on having it you should check out the Mushkin ram or Corsair best out there!

Maybe your MBRAM is running low. You should upgrade.

It all depends on what applications you intend to run on it. Games and heavy duty graphics programs may run better with more RAM.

One option is to buy more memory. If that's not a possibility then you can change the amount of disk space your computer uses for virtual memory. Open the System properties task pane. Assuming you are using windows, right click on My Computer and click properties. Click on parameters under performance. Click  on Advanced then Modify and set the  initial size as about 1OOmb more than is shown. Increase the max size by 200mb. Click ok and see if the warning keeps coming up. Try not to open too many applications at once. Again the best advice is to buy and install more RAM.
