You go to Start Menu.\nControl Panel.\nSystem.\nAnd then click on the Advanced Tab.\nUnder Performance there is a settings tab.\n\nYou can increase your virtual memory there, but I wouldnt touch it because it usually allocates it the best way possible so that your computer and your graphics card gets the most from your memory.\nIt usually means you might need to upgrade your memory. Go to control panel again, then system, and then check your computer information and see how much memory you have. If you only have 128MB RAM, which is the standard that new computers come in, then you might need to add more RAM.\nThe more the RAM, the better performance of your computer. If you only have 128MB RAM then that basically means that you cant have much more than maybe 3 or 4 programs opened at the same time.\nIf you need more help or if you want instructions on how to install more memory, then contact me in my profile.

Your RAM is already fine. I suggest you buy a video card (also known as a graphics accelerator card). That was what I did, and it worked really well. Now I can play high-end games and the graphics really improved a lot. Try Sparkle.

You can add/replace larger capacity sticks up to the total capacity that the computer will handle,.i.e.three 128MB sticks=384MB,three 256 sticks=768MB,one 512MB and two 256MB sticks=1024MB,etc.

a few systems will not allow you to use faster RAM\nalso ram will only operate at the slowest of Ram or BUSS speed

128 MB ram is not easily available nowadays. The price is aound Rs 1,700.\nYou would have to buy new 256 MB Ram.\nOr You can go for 512 MB ram. It is around Rs 3,150.

A few tips for getting your  PC to run a little better.\n\n1. Right click My Computer\n> Click Properties  \n>Click Advanced tab at the top.\n>In the Performance box click settings,\n>Click Adjust for best performance and Apply.\n2. In the same window click on the Advance tab.\n>in the Virtual Memory box click Change,\n>In the Paging file size for selected drive click Custom size,\n>You can put what you want in the initial size, depending on how much hard drive space you have, I put about 2000-3000, it is not going to work like upgrading RAM, but it does help, when you've determined how much to put in click OK, then apply. You might have to restart your computer.

if you have a new computer, its going to be in increments of 128 megabytes.  You probably want 2 512 mb "sticks" of "DDR 3200" if you have a fairly modern computer.  Look up your motherboard and see what ram it can use...don't just buy some random stuff.

It'll take a lotta time to describe the whole process, so i've listed a couple of links here. Visit those links n read 'em.\nhttp://www.pcworld.com/howto/article/0,aid,18024,00.asp\nhttp://www.ehow.com/how_895_install-ram.html\nhttp://www.pcmech.com/show/memory/87/

The cheapest and most effective way is to add more memory. Whatever you've got in there now, double it.\n\nAlso, consider removing Norton (which is a crock) and replacing it with AVGFree from Grisoft (www.grisoft.com). It's much, much faster.

Unfortunately for all of us, RAM is not something you can increase like you can your processing speed.  You must install more RAM physically into your computer in order to meet this requirement.  If you can't afford more RAM, the best remedy i can think of is increasing your Virtual Memory (this is the memory that a computer uses from your hard drive to act LIKE RAM).\n\n*Virtual Memory is no where near affective as actual RAM.  It is not a good nor effective way to fix your problem, however, it may solve your problem temporarily if you simply/absolutely CANNOT afford more. (RAM is really cheap.  Go to www.tigerdirect.com)\n\nTo increase your Virtual Memory, Go to My Computer and right click somewhere inside that box *click properties*.  Go to the "Advanced" tab on the box that pops up.  Under the Performance section, click Settings.  Under that Settings box that pops up, go to the Advanced tab and look at the bottom section labeled "Virtual Memory", click Change.  Now you can add whatever amount of memory desired in order to increase your virtual memory.  Remember, this will NOT completely fix your problem, only lessen the effect of not having enough RAM.  Once you save up enough memory, I would recommend fixing all your problems by buying a single 1024mb (1gb) RAM chip (you won't have to worry about problems any more)

The ram which I assume is what you are talking about, can be upgraded from 256 to 512 yes... You will need to find out what type of ram you need...\n\nto find out what ram you need use this http://www.crucial.com\n\nit will ask you for your make and model, then tell you what type of ram you need. It will also give you prices, but dont buy from them, just write down the type of ram, and search your local stores for it...\n\nIf you wish to buy it online, try http://www.tigerdirect.com or http://www.newegg.com
