Memory
How much memory should I have
installed in my computer? If you
only use your computer for word processing or browsing the
internet, 32-64MB of RAM should be sufficient. If you play
intense 3D games, or work with sound and/or graphic files then
128-256MB should be installed. To determine how much of your
current memory is being used, click Start, Programs,
Accessories, System tools then System Monitor. If
all you see is Kernet Processor Usage listed, add Memory Manager
by clicking Edit, Add Item, Memory Manager then Allocated
Memory from the menu area of the System Monitor window.
Once you save, you should have two graphs in the window. The
lower graph shows you how much memory your system is currently
using. If your system is using close to or all of your current
memory, it is time to add more.
