Re: How much RAM should I havw

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance


The next time you are running the standard applications you use, bring
up the task manager (CRL-ALT-DEL). Click on Advanced (I think that is
what the selection is) and you will get a very useful display of what
the system load is. You should get a CPU loading display, a Memory Usage
Display, Network Usage, Hard Drive, etc.

Take a look at the Memory Usage and if it is over 50% then you MIGHT
get an improvement in performance if you ever start to do more on your
computer. The way Windows works is that it will use the available memory
until it starts to run out and then create a memory Paging File ( a temp
file to store what is in memory while the processor is doing other
operations, this slows things down). Vista also has a new feature that
allows you to use a thumb drive as a memory increase to reduce paging. I
think it is called Ready Boost or something close.

I hope this helps.
