All these people are wrong. You need no new ram.
What you need to do is just allow your computer to use more virtual memory.
Right click on My Computer and then click on properties. Then click on the Advanced Tab. Under Performance click on the settings button. Then click on the Advanced tab.
At the bottom there is a section called Virtual Memory. Click on Change and make the number bigger. At least 500 mb more in order to see a difference.
The message will not continue to appear warning you of low virtual memory.
Now programs should run faster and open and close easier.
Hope that helped. :]
you have to use disk defragmenting program like Diskeeper !!!
i think there is A LOT of stuff running on your computer, you may not be able to see it. but something is taking up a ton of room. your computer is working too hard. maybe uninstall things you dont need, or just reboot your computer. or if it says that more often as time goes on. reinstall windows and dont forget to save files/documents u may need to another source
Good luck!
get a new ram
Well, there could be a ton of reasons why your virtual memory is low. But a commonly; you have too many programs running, your page file is too small, or you have too much stuff on your computer.
To check if you have too much stuff running, hit Ctrl+Alt+Delete and click on the "processes" tab. If Any of those processes are above 10-20 percent (Excluding System Idle Process) while you’re not doing anything, it’s probably taking up too much hardware memory. See if you can close that process without doing too much damage to your p.c.
If all your processes seem normal, open up Control Panel and open System, click on the "advanced" tab, and under the Performance heading, click Settings. The "performance options" window should pop up. Click on the "advanced" tab, and under the Virtual Memory heading click "change".
If you only have one hard drive then you’ll only see "C:" Click the "Custom size" button and fill in; initial size = 1024, and maximum size = 1024. If that doesn’t work or it doesn’t help, you just have too much junk on your computer =/. Consider deleting some movies, pictures, or songs and trying again.
