I have a Dell Dimension 4600C with 256 SDRAM and a 2.6 Ghz CPU and for some reason lately the thing is running incredibly slow. Checked for viruses... none. Checked for malware... some, but i zapped most of it and it doesn't seem ike it should be this disruptive. My HD is only half full. But for some reason i keep getting messages that my virtual memory is low. For some reason i guess i am low on memory but can't figure out why. Any suggestions? 256 megs of RAm should be more than enough to run XP, no?
