windows 95-98 can get away with  32-64mb of ram windows 2000 can do it with 64-128mb  and windows xp needs a minimum 256mb you would need more ram for all operating systems the more you put on the computer and try to run these are not the minimum system req  but a beefed up version

virtual memory is some space that you take from your hard drive and use as memory.\nyou should first check partitions of your hard drive that have better free space.\nthen (in windows XP) right click on "my computer" click "properties" then in "advanced" tab, click on "settings" button in performance part,then click on "advanced" and then "change" in virtual memory part.then select each partition you want and select custom size and give it some space in that partition.remember that your total virtual memory shouldn't reach more than 1.5 times of your RAM.  \nhope that it helps

Increase your RAM to 512MB. XP Pro requires that much memory. The hard drive is plenty big.

Well, that depends on your personalization. If you want, you can make a 15 gig drive just for the windows, 30 gigs for you own stuff, and if you install lots of programs, you can as well dedicate 15 gigs for programs in another drive. If you don't install much programs, just dedicate 15 for C: and 45 for D:

This depends greatly on what you plan to do with the computer.  The XP Pro install will take up about 3 GB, but XP Pro by default will try to create a 3GB page file, so if you only have a 6GB HD windows will complain right away that you have low disk space.  Of course you can reduce the size of the swap file to correct this.  Office takes up about 500MB if you do the complete install.  So basically you want to have at least 8GB or so if you just plan to use office.  If you plan on doing anything else go bigger.  It's hard to find new hard drives smaller than 40GB any more and you can get them for around $45 so if you need more space I recommend that.\n     It's is also important that with XP you have at least 256MB RAM for decent performance.   512 is recommended.

YIKES!!!!!!!!!! Don't perform an upgrade on that system!! Always perform a clean installation of Windows XP so that you can use NTFS. Also, as was stated earlier, you really don't want to install XP on anything less than 256megs of memory or it will move slow as pond water.

You now have a "dual boot" machine.  When the BIOS looks for the OS and sees that there is 2, it will alway go to that screen you're talking about.  What you'll need to do is format both partitions.  Unless you have files you NEED to keep on one of them, this is the best way to start over.  It will save you plenty of headaches in the future.\n\nUse the formatting and partition tool in the XP setup.  When it asks you what you want for the sizes, use your current setup (10 and 70) but make a third.  Make it 1GB and label it "swap".  Windows will look at this partition as pure virtual memory.  Don't use this drive or erase anything on it.  It will always have about 990MB in it of misc crap.  After creating your partitions and formatting them all, install XP on the 10GB part and you should be good-to-go.

bASICALLY YOU DON'T HAVE ENOUGH MEMORY TO RUN YOUR COMP, YOU NEED TO EITHER INSTALL SOME RAM THROUGH A SECOND HARD DRIVE, OR A USB KEY \n\nI'D START OFF FIRST BY GETTING RID OF ALL THE FILES, PROGRAMS ETC YOU DON'T USE, \n\nPUT FILES YOU NEED MONTHLY ONTO A CDRW DISK, THAT WILL CLEAR UP SOME SPACE. \n\nDO A SCANDISK AND DEFRAG, \n\nRUN THE FOLLOWING PROGRAMS IF YOU DONT HAVE THEM ALREADY SPYBOT S&D, AD-AWARE AND FREE RAM XP PRO.\n\nCHECK THROUGH YOUR MUSIC PHOTO PERSONAL DOCUMENTS AND EITHER PUT EM ON DISK OR DELETE THEM.\n\nIF AFTER DOING ALL THAT IT STILL HAPPENS YOU'RE HAVE TO UPGRADE TO GET MORE MEMORY

Use a Cleaning program like CCLEANER .  This is my favorite program which only uses 1.31 MB of space and yet does a enormous job of cleaning all the junk out of your machine. Its also for free.  You can find CCLEANER from the following link:\n\nhttp://www.download.com/CCleaner/3000-2144_4-10592746.html?tag=lst-0-1

Best to buy new PC because Windows XP requires about 512 MB RAM to function efficiently. If you have that much then I would recommend reformatting, it might be better for performance.

This is your page file, it's used by Windows to use your hard drive list extra RAM memory.  It's also known as virtual memory.  You probably can't delete this because it's being used by the system.  You wouldn't want to adjust the size of this either because it's probably set correctly now.  If you have a second hard drive, you may want to use it.  Settings are at: Right click on my computer, properties, advanced tab, performance settings, advanced tab, change.\n\nBefore changing anything here, research about Windows XP page files on the internet first.

for windows XP or server 2003 AT LEAST 32MB... I suggest 64MB.  If you plan on doing any gaming at all I suggest 128MB.\n\nOn Linux, refer to your versions specification requirements as each version can vary.  In general, 32MB for most GUI interfaces, 8MB for most command line interfaces.
