my computer has 64mb RAM and intel celeron 633MHz processor and 15 GB hard disk. My computer is not assembled it is branded HP PAVILION 7700 PC. I have loaded windows XP Professional. When i went to computer shops they told me that higher RAM will no suit to my computer and my computer is VERY SLOW.

How comes you're using XP Pro on a "P3 class" Celeron with only 64MB Ram. This is a mismatch that couldn't be greater. To run XP Pro you need at least 256MB and even this is low. I suppose you previously had W98 or W98SE, go back to that OS to increase the speed without upgrading the hardware.\n\nBut if you want to stay with the XP Pro, you have to upgrade the memory to the maximum (512MB ?), this is not that expensive. But be careful, not even Crucial has the Ram type of the HP Pavilion 7700 in it's database, so it seems your system may require proprietary or non-standard Ram.

Probly a old computer with too much junk in it. Plus probly does have enough ram in the computer.  Try having someone who has good computer know how. To delete any unused or unneeded programs.  If you delete the wrong thing you can crash your computer.   You can defrag. your computer.  Also scan disk it.  That will help.  \n\nIf all else fails.  Try having someone do a total restore on your computer.  It will make just like a new one.

You do not have enough RAM if this message comes up. \n\nWhen windows runs out of RAM to use, it uses virtual memory. This is when windows uses your Disk Drive's memory to 'simulate' RAM. This keeps your programs running, but degredates performance of your notebook (if you haven't noticed already). Your message indicates that the preset amount of virtual memory assigned (in your case its probably 1.5GB) is being used up and needs more. OR your disk space left is very small. \n\nIf you need to increase your virtual memory, follow these steps outlined in the link below:

I think that you can add one more 128Mb RAM. that will improve the performance of the PC. You can increase the RAM capacity if your computer mother board has the provision.  I can give you a link that deals with hard drive problems. Some RAM/hard drive problems can be easily fixed yourself by using easily available tools. I found the info at http://fixit.in  useful. Try this site, if you can get what is required.

Yes, you can upgrade your memory and if it's only 512MB I'd recommend you do. 512MB is okay for now but if you want your laptop to work fine for the long run, upgrade to 1GB or maybe even 2GB. Just check to see if the RAM cards are compatible with your laptop beforehand.

Check to see if your computer will support running Windows XP Professional. \nRecommended by Microsoft:\n300 MHz CPU *\n128 MB of RAM *\n1.5 GB of available hard disk space *\nSuper VGA (800 x 600) or higher-resolution video adapter with at least 8 MB of video RAM and monitor\nCD-ROM or DVD drive\nNetwork adapter\nSound card and speakers\nKeyboard and Microsoft Mouse or compatible pointing device\n* I recommend a minimum 450MHz CPU, 8GB HDD, 256MB of RAM\n\nthen Purchase an OEM license of Windows XP and replace your current outdated operating system.\nYou can find stores on eBay who sell windows XP OEM version for under $150.

you might have to check your RAM memory\nfor games like bf2 and hl2...you need atleast 512 MB or more.\nif you don't have enough...then upgrade your memory\nyou can check your memory by right clicking on My computer and click on properties, under general tab you will see how much your computer has.\nOR\nyou might or might not have viruses, but do check if your virus definitions are updated...\nOR\nyou might have spyware, spyware usually is the primary reason for computers to slow down. you can get spyware just by even browsing the net.\nget a good anti-spyware software. spysweeper is the best software there is....so run it and get rid of any spyware that you might have

Compaq uses proprietary ram it some of it's older computers and will cost you as much as an new entry level computer such as emachines or dell. Go to compusa or microcenter and see what is the cost of the new ram for your particular machine and go from there.

Poor RAM\nRAM is directly related to the workrate of the CPU, more RAM would definetely take the load of the CPU.\nGood luck...

THE FIRST THING you should buy is RAM because you only have 256...\n\nWindows XP alone requires a minimum of 256 RAM to run. These days they are making computers with nothing less than 1GIG of RAM which is 1,024 RAM Versus your 256...\n\nWhat you need to do, is tell me your computer BRAND and MODEL... For example...\n\nDell, Dimension 2600... Which is usually found somewhere on your pc, unless its custom built...\n\nIf you tell me your make and model, I can tell you what you have and what can be upgraded on it, and where you can get it cheapest... Email me if you like or just EDIT your question with the info I just requested.\n\n\n\nMickey below is wrong, not having a video card can slow your PC down, also depending on what type of video card you have CAN slow your PC down or not...\nSome video cards are integrated, and they use your actual RAM for the video memory, which TAKES AWAY from the RAM you need to run your programs, THUS making it slower...

Of course there could be a number of issues, but my first suggestion is to check how much RAM you have installed.  Adding more memory on a system that crashes a lot or runs poorly can't hurt.  Right click on My Computer/Properties to see how much memory is installed.  Anything below 512 MB should be upgraded.

Check your ram, you may have to get a bigger motherboard, because it may not have enough memory to handle the application.

although your processor and ram is quiet fast enough than your 64 MB video card. you must upgrade your video card to 128MB.

I think you should really upgrade your computer. Also, if you use the spell checker, you may get more answers.\n\nHope this Helps!

Windows 2000 will not show a significant speed increase by going above 256MB of RAM, and your machine likely won't be upgradeable beyond about 1.2 or 1.4GHz.  Again, you probably won't notice the difference that youre likely hoping for.  \n\nMy advice would be to either: \nA) Upgrade what you have to Windows XP Home Edition (about $90 US) instead.  Provided you have enough hard drive space to do so.  A 30GB hard drive or higher should do unless you have a LOT of software/MP3s/games. This should buy you some time to save up for your next PC.\nB) See if you can sell the machine you have and put that money toward  a low end Dell, eMachines, HP or used PC with Windows XP and at least 256MB of RAM.  They can usually be had for $300-400 US. \n\nFrom my experience Windows 98, Millennium, and 2000 ran optimally on 256MB of RAM.  For future refence, on anything besides high-end gaming machines 1GB of RAM is optimal for Windows XP.  If hardcore PC gaming is a factor, I lean toward 2GB.

just open your laptop and bring it to frys or best buy and ask for the ram you want and show them your system...just plug it in where the long boards on the main board are plugged in...it's that easy really...

This means that your actual RAM is small, maybe 256 Mb or 512 MB and you are using applications that need more, like for example a video editing software. In this case the OS use a small part of your HDD as a temporary RAM solution to overcome the problem of less enough memory. When also this temporary RAM (also known as virtual memory) is not enough, the OS tells you that is increasing it's size to match the demands of your applications. Since virtual memory uses HDD space for temporary RAM, this is very very slow compared to a traditional RAM. My suggestion is to upgrade your RAM, at least double it. If you are unsure about what type of RAM you need, i will advice to go to www.crucial.com They have a cool tool called Memory Advisor Tool which can help you find out about the type of RAM you need. You can also scan your system with Crucial to find out, it's safe and doesn't contain spy-ware. At the end, they will (of course) suggest you to buy from them the right memory, but at the same time they will give you the info about what you need.\n\n\nSo, the solution in few word: Upgrade RAM.
