Why Ram Rimm memories are so expensive ?
402270
because the manufacturing process is expensive, and wasn't too much of a demand for them. at first, they were somewhat promising because the system bus needed larger bandwidth for the new P4 processors. so Intel and Rambus teamed up, but the Caminogate case (i820's faulty memory translator - anyone remember ?) and the advent of DDR SDRAM (high density and relatively cheap) practically killed Rambus technology. (it had 16 bit data bus, but very high clock for that time)

The difference in memory installed is probably being used by your video card.  It looks like around 22MBytes.

what is it?   When all the RAM is being used (for example if there are many programs open at the same time) the computer will swap data to the hard drive and back to give the impression that there is slightly more memory.\n\nThe best thing to do is to buy more memory, not the most cost effective, but the best.\n\nIf you are running XP, you can also goto start->run-> "msconfig".  Click on the startup tab and there should be a bunch of junk such as OEM software, just look and play around.  make sure you don't turn off spyware, virus, or firewalls.

ram is ur phisical memory so if u hav low ram ur computer is slow and u cant open so much windows and ther are some games which need loads of phisical memory so if u have low ram and the game needs many ram it wont open or it will be slow

You need to buy more memory - 256MB is chump change as far as RAM is concerned nowadays. You pretty much need at least 1GB.

The RAM modules' speed must at least match the memory controller on the motherboard. You can always use faster RAM modules than required, but not slower.

Hmm, if you've already lowered your graphics rendering thingy, reduced the fonts (like, in the on-screen messages), and changed the resolution on your games colors, i can't think of anything else.\nRAM is cheaper these days, so just buy more.  More computers these days have at least a Gig of RAM, it's the wave of the future!  Plus, games will just keep getting better and better, so eventually you'll need to keep up, so when's a better time to buy more RAM?\nGood luck

Here is how your computer works, you have two memory areas, ram and rom, rom is the place where your programs are stored whether it be a hard drve, a cd, etc.  now for the good part, ram is the area where your programs in rom are loaded to when you run them. lets say you have 256 megs of ram....you got a program running that uses 100 megs of ram, you got another program that uses another 100 megs also running, and last but not least you have another program running that uses 57 megs. guess what happens? you only have 256 megs of ram and you are using 257 megs of ram. things aint equatin rite! it may even run like this but, shit has to be dumped from ram and reloaded into ram to share the ram. this takes much time! sometimes it will lock you up even! the less crap you have running in the background the faster your computer will respond. got it? \n\nALL WEBSITES THAT CLAIM FREE MUSIC DOWNLOADS, PORN, ONLINE GAMES, GAMBLING ETC. are infested with spyware, adware, trojans, malicious software, highjackers and viruses! Got it? Anyone who tells you different is a fool! If you dont mind having your system become inffected then feel free to use any of them. If you choose too, dont come back and whine because your system has slowed down or failed to boot. Been working with PCs and the internet from the get go and have cleaned tons of systems out because of this. If you dont heed this advice it makes no difference to me....I make good money at diggin this crap out!

the DIMMS are silicone chips attached to a printed circuit board.\nSoDIMs are the same, just a different shape (generally for laptop use).\nThe only way to tweak your memory speed is by altering the motherboard controls, NOT the RAM chips themselves.\nDIMMS do not have a writeable EPROM.\nYou can buy faster RAM cheaper than you can reengineer existing chips.

No you cannot. RAM sticks inside the PC are 'lightning fast' compared to USB sticks. USB are horribly slow.\nAlso, RAM memory is made so that it forgets everything when the power is taken away. USB sticks are the opposite. They are 2 completely different types of memory.

Buy larger capacity sticks of ram like 512MB sticks or 1GB sticks.

Well it depends on what type of RAM you have, not what OS you have.  Check out www.shopper.com or www.pricewatch.com for the latest RAM prices for your type of memory.

You can buy 3 different popular memory chip sizes...\n\n1) ($34) 256 MB - DDR PC2700 • CL=2.5 • UNBUFFERED • Non-parity • DDR333 • 2.5V • 32Meg x 64 \n\n2) ($69) 512 MB -  DDR PC2700 • CL=2.5 • UNBUFFERED • NON-ECC • DDR333 • 2.5V • 64Meg x 64 \n\n3) ($140) 1 GB -  DDR PC2700 • CL=2.5 • UNBUFFERED • NON-ECC • DDR333 • 2.5V • 128Meg x 64 \n\n\n\nGood luck!

Since the main memory (RAM) is expensive, it usually has lesser capacity than the hard drive.  However, the problem with that is the RAM gets filled quickly with all your running programs.  However, the CPU (processor) multi-tasks, hence it doesnt need the programs (data and instruction words in the RAM) all the time.  Thats where the virtual memory comes into picture.  Virtual memory is basically part of the drive which is used as a temporary "parking space" for data and instruction words which can't be held in the RAM.  When programs are no longer requred they are "swapped" to the hard drive from the RAM and shuttled back to the RAM when the CPU gets ready to process them (depending upon the scheduling algorithm).\n\nYou are getting the error because you have assigned less virtual memory (or the system has assigned less vitual memory).  Hence, when the RAM gets full, its doesn't get any "parking space" on the hard drive and you get the error.\n\nIn order to bump up the virtual memory and improve system performance, view the following page.  It is really helpful!

Okay, home computers come up to 1 terabyte of storage if you would like, are capable of having 2gb of RAM, two video cards with 1gb of ram each, the possibilites are endless, and your question is too vague.  But you're probly still looking for the "any" key, aren't you?

Look up your system model on the support section of the manufacturer's page.  There will be a lot of technical jargon in the RAM section that you will probably not understand.  Copy it down and take it to a store that sells computer accessories (Best Buy, Circuit City, CompUSA, etc) and show it to the salesman.  If you want really good performance, tell him you want low-latency RAM instead of the budget high density crap.  Until then, increase the size of your paging file and hope for the best.  You can also disable unnecessary startup entries and background services.  Many people will tell you to use msconfig by going to Start - Run, typing "msconfig" then go to startup tab, this is not quite accurate.  To accurately disable the startup you should disable it from within the settings of the program itself.  This is to be sure that the registry entry is not recreated on the next reboot.  To disable background services that you don't need, go to Start - Run and type services.msc.  Disabling unnecessary services here will free up a lot of resources - probably more than anything else you could do to the system minus upgrade.  Also, you should optimize your caches.  If you can perform these tweaks effectively, you may not even need a RAM upgrade, but it's still recommended if you have less than 512MB RAM in XP.

Don't know if there is such a thing. But that would require a HUGE amount of RAM
