I got a message earlier saying my system was running low on Virtual
Memory and that Windows would increase it ...When I look at the info
in C/systemtools.system information it shows the following ...Total
Physical memory 512 MB
Available Physical Memory 309.33 MB
Total Virtual Memory 2 GB
Available Virtual Memory 1.96 GB
Pagefile Space 769.38 MB

I do have 512 MB Ram ..Why is there a difference between that and the
309.33 MB Available Physical Memory ..

When I got the PC it had no Graphics Card but had onboard graphics and
was allocated ( I think ) 64MB of the 256MB Ram that was installed at
the time .I then installed a graphics card ..I made no other changes
to any bios settings ...Should I have .??

I then removed the 256MB Ram and installed the 512 MB ( it was
different type to the 256)

Does anything of the other stats throw up any questions ..?
