Does the software FREE RAM XP/ PRO really increase the RAM speed?
374647
No, not at all.  It is supposed to free up RAM that a program/application didn't release (back to the operating system).  However, these types of applications aren't needed with Windows 2000 or XP.  Now, if you still have any of the 3 versions of Windows 98, then it will work great, and you actually need it.

i recommend that you use a software to free the ram memory held by unwanted processes. one handy as well as free software is Cacheman.\nu can read a review on this software at :\nhttp://www.pcworld.com/downloads/file/fid,5267-order,1-page,1-c,alldownloads/description.html\n\nu can download the software at:\nhttp://www.download.com/Cacheman/3000-2248_4-10216523.html

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.

Increase the RAM on your computer or Video Card

One way, to make your computer faster, is to add more memory..It is not very expensive, and it will help your computer run better..You can never have to much memory..I hope this will help you..

I followed the link below.\nHe claims that it uses PC100, it's relatively old RAM.\n\nCrucial says that they recommend PC133 RAM, and don't worry that it's faster. It'll slow down to the proper speed.\n\nRAM can slow down but it's very difficult to speed up.

I don't believe you have a RAM  issue, I believe you're overtaxing your processor.  Depending on the type of processor you have, you can only accomplish so many tasks at one time.  You also might have too many background programs running at one time, on top of the programs that you initiate.  Download the program I have supplied a link for below, and find out exactly what's running on your system.  Turn off anything that's not system critical this should free up some processor time.

The virtual memory is the what is used when your RAM is full, or otherwise used. The data stored there is already processed, but not in use. It's actually inefficient, compared to more RAM. \n\n   If you have quite a bit free space, but the message still appears, follow these instructions:\n\n1. Go to the Control Panel. On the Start Menu for Windows XP, or Start Menu/Settings for Windows 95/95, ME and 2000 users. \n\n2. Click on the System icon. \n\n3. Change to the Advanced tab, and then click the Settings button under Performance. \n\n4. Click on the Advanced tab on the window that opens, then click on the Change buttong in the Virtual Memory section. \n\n5. From there, you can increase the numbers to a reasonable amount, such as 750 on Initial and 1150 on Maximum.

Yes, it may help.\n\nI recommend you read the informative and step by step article provided my Microsoft.\n\n4 Ways to Speed Up Your Computer's Performance\nhttp://www.microsoft.com/atwork/getstarted/speed.mspx

512mb is more than enough! If you want a little extra "OOMPH" you can free up some computer resources by doing some simple steps to increase overall performance. 1st Right click anywhere on the desktop in an open space- go to Properties - Click the Applications tab Go to "Effects" in the bottom right corner - and de-select all the options. Then go to "Settings" tab, and change your color quality to 16bit. 32 or even 24 is overkill for most computer users. And 99% of the time, you won't even be able to tell the difference. And last but not least Right click on the "My Computer" icon- go to the "Advanced Tab" -Click the "Settings" under the Performance category, and select "Adjust for best performance." These simple steps will give you the best bang for your buck with your current computer configuration. This way you can speed up your computer without having to spend a dime, or even crack open the case. Have fun!

If you have the Windows XP firewall, then you've already gotten the answer.  But in my opinion, if you have a hardware router, get rid of the software firewall.  If you don't open any ports you're better protected than with a software firewall and no memory is used.  Why waste ram if you don't need to.\n\nDon't listen to the other opinions.  Computers are my job.  IF (and only IF) you have a router, get rid of the firewall.

the more RAM memory the more applications (programs) you can run at the same time without slowing down

It will still work.  However, the response times as you execute various commands may have some latency.  \n\nThe reason being is that RAM can store information without having to write it to a hard drive.  This allows the software to work faster.  \n\nWhen you do not have enough RAM, the software has to read and write that information to a temporary/page file on your hard drive.  The read/write process takes processing power and time. \n\nClick below for the full techno explanation.

all of these are good ideals ----HOWEVER try this first...\n\nit is called PREFETCH----also ADD RAM\n\nWindows XP's Prefetch folder stores information about each program you launch; then, on subsequent restarts, XP uses the information in the folder to preload parts of those programs at boot time. Clean out the Prefetch folder periodically to keep boot times from dragging.\n\nOne of Microsoft's big selling points for Windows XP was that it loads applications much faster than its predecessors. To accomplish this feat, Windows XP uses what is called the "Prefetch technique," in which the operating system gathers information about each program that you launch and stores that information in the &#92;Windows&#92;Prefetch folder. Then on subsequent restarts, Windows XP uses the information in the Prefetch folder to essentially preload parts of those programs at boot time. Thus, when you launch your application, it appears to load really fast.\n\nHowever, the Prefetch folder can accumulate too much information over time. This makes the operating system so busy loading bits and pieces of lots of applications into memory that it ends up slowing down the boot process. Fortunately, you can clean out the Prefetch folder at any time. Follow these four steps:\n\n1.       Access the Run dialog box by pressing [Windows]R. \n\n2.       Type Prefetch in the Open text box and click OK. \n\n3.       Press [Ctrl]A to select all the files. \n\n4.       Press [Delete]. \n\nAs you use your system, Windows XP will rebuild the contents of the Prefetch folder.\n\nHope this helps - might be some what of a solution....A+, MCSA, CCNA, Security +, Net + (the reason i know this answer)

You can upgrade your CPU (higher frequency and cache)\nGet a motherboard with a faster FSB frequency\nIncrease your RAM\nGet exclusively high speed RAM\nDo not install any unoptimized programs\nRun exclusively programs written in assembly (such as MenuetOS)\n\nOr you could:\nNot use warez\nDon't go to porn sites\nMake sure your system is secure and stable - http://protractive.gdshadow.net/Protractive?action=display;board=softsec;num=1143459943\nMake sure your hard drive is healthy - e.g., by 'fsck'ing / 'chkdsk'ing every 30 or so mounts and defragmenting your drive if applicable\nAllow persistent memory caching to reduce costly IO operations (most OSes do this automatically with sufficient RAM)\nRun fewer background processes\nRun fewer processes at the same time\nRun thread-optimized code - instead of forking and other types of IPC, programs should use threads, if useful\nDisabling some types of security software can increase your system speed, but will result in a less secure system

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