OK my friend,
You are running way too little RAM. I would want 512Mb in that outfit, or I would run 98SE and stop there?
What memory slots have you got?...............you need 512Mb for Win XP ;)
Sorry about not checking profile...............I should not even be talking hardware?.........we tend to deal with a lot of types?
Please keep this thread running............you might wish to look at Win 2000?
:)
:eek: i thought that 320Mb was more then enough to run XP Pro...Quote:
.you need 512Mb for Win XP ;)
I make no sudden movements and slowly grab another stick of Ram, and slowly insert it into Box. Making sure that i don't make any eye contact with Nihil, in fears he might Banish me from AO ;)
uh, I understand I'm running little RAM but I actually meet the minimum required. Which is 128 for pro not sure about home. http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/p...g/sysreqs.mspx
I have a 256 stick and a 128 stick, Xp Pro runs smooth as it can.....even when i had two 128 sticks it didnt or crash.
Raion - DONT buy Radeon....Nvidia ROCKS ! :) just a suggestions since i've used nvidia cards for 4 years. i did hear Radeon isn't bad either.
Actually, I read that ATI Radeon v4 (forgot the versions so random number there) was considerably better than Gforce v4. If im not mistaken Nvidia uses gforce chipsets..
MINIMUM does not = usable :) even M$ 'suggest' 256MB for XPQuote:
but I actually meet the minimum required. Which is 128 for pro
as a MINIMUM - double it to 256, THEN do the M$ thing, and DOUBLE it
512MB and it will run smoooooth ........... well, as smooth as a windows box gets anyway :p
my computer only lags when I have a lot of things open, runs pretty smooth if u ask me...or maybe I'm just used to this speed? :P
<excuse for not wasting money on upgrading> must be really annoying having things open up when u actually click it and immediatly. I spend most of my time on the computer waiting, keeps me entertained </excuse for not wasting money on upgrading>
how much memory does task manager show you to be using when you are in 'full flow' ??
if it shows you to be using 185 [for example] then you are having to page file the excess 50+ MB, which WILL slow you RIGHT down ......
the correct amount of RAM is NOT an upgrade, rather it should be considered an essential :p
Well, I appreciate all the comments and suggestions, and i might, just might get a new RAM stick along with my video card. However my question still hasnt been answered. Does the type of RAM the video card need to be the same type of RAM that my computer uses?
