what is memory paging?

It's virtual memory. Memory which doesn't exist on the memory chips but is temporarily stored in a swap-file or paging file on the hard drive.

The recommended size for the paging file is 1.5 times the amount of RAM you have. In this case it would be 384 MB.

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

Hai buddy\n\nRandom Access Memory which is widely known as RAM is memory cells which can be accessed for information transfer from any desired random location ,thus the name RAM.In simple words it is the storage unit to store your temporary information,you can store the data and retrieve too\n\nwhile\n\nRead Only Memory or ROM is a memory unit that performs the read operation only,it does not have a write capability and you cant modify any of the information stored in ROM

well, your question is a little fuzzy but let's give it a shot:\n\nvirtual memory is just some space on your hard disk. It is used when the real memory runs out; a program that is not currently active/running but loaded into memory can be 'swapped out': it is saved to the hard disk (virtual memory) and will be read in again when it is needed. This way the computer can pretend it has more memory than it actually has.\n\nNow if you open a very heavy webpage on a system that is already low on memory it is quite possible the the computer needs to save some other programs to the virtual memory.\n\nDoes this help?

you'll just need to reset your virutal memory..\n\nvery very simple :)\n\nlets go to the start button at the lower left hand of your screen\n\nthen goto your "control panel" \n\nnow find and click "system" \n\n\nnow click the "Advanced tab" \n\n\nunder  "Performance" click "Settings"\n\nagain click "Advanced"\n\nUnder "Virtual memory" click "Change"\n\n\nif you have multiple hard disks just follow these steps more then once....\n\nHighlight your Hard Disk or Drive (C:&#92; or another)\n\n\nclick  "System Managed" then click "Set"\n\nThis will prompt you to re-start your computer, just restart\n\n\nThere you go, \n\n\nWindows needs the paging file always, even if you have 4GB windows XP pro is desgined to allocate stuff to the paginf file to increase performance. You should never turn your paging file off\n\nhope this helped\n\n-christian-\nA+,Network+ ,MCP

Sounds like something running in the background....I dont know why people insist on running programs they aint using! They hog system rescources, mainly ram! Ram is an area of memory that does the actual running of your software. To make it simple....say you have 128 megs of ram. You have a game that requires 64 megs to run...you also have weatherbug, yahoo messenger, and god knows whatelse also sharing this ram and using another 100 megs. What do you suppose happens? CLOSE ALL that bullshit down! Stop some of that crap from running on startup! You will be MUCH happier with the way your system runs!

Computer memory is perhaps the most rapidly changing component in computer systems. Back in the early '80s, 1K memory chips were quite common in the first home microcomputers. Now, 25 years later, the average home computer may contain memory modules of 1GB, representing growth by a factor of 1 million times, compared with only a 1,000-fold growth in CPU speed.\n\n \nDespite this enormous increase in memory capacity, many of the problems that exist on today's machines are the same as those of their early predecessors--namely, running out of memory. The more RAM that is available to a software developer, the more the developer tends to use. Certainly techniques of memory conservation have changed with the times. In the early days of computing, programmers used clever tactics to tighten code loops or reuse blocks of memory at the expense of code readability, in order to cram impressive amounts of code into tiny amounts of RAM. Today, code size is rarely a concern anymore, and attention has shifted to storing large amounts of data--images, video, audio, and tables--but little else has changed. The articles in this series deal with memory management issues on modern Unix-like systems. Most of the topics apply to all computers and operating systems.\nMemory management is an important concept to grasp regardless of which programming language you use. You must be most careful with C, where you control all memory allocation and freeing. Languages such as C++, Java, Perl, and PHP take care of a lot of the housekeeping automatically. Nevertheless, all of these languages and others can allocate memory dynamically.

Pronounced cash, a special high-speed storage mechanism. It can be either a reserved section of main memory or an independent high-speed storage device. Two types of caching are commonly used in personal computers: memory caching and disk caching. \nA memory cache, sometimes called a cache store or RAM cache, is a portion of memory made of high-speed static RAM (SRAM) instead of the slower and cheaper dynamic RAM (DRAM) used for main memory. Memory caching is effective because most programs access the same data or instructions over and over. By keeping as much of this information as possible in SRAM, the computer avoids accessing the slower DRAM. \n\nSome memory caches are built into the architecture of microprocessors. The Intel 80486 microprocessor, for example, contains an 8K memory cache, and the Pentium has a 16K cache. Such internal caches are often called Level 1 (L1) caches. Most modern PCs also come with external cache memory, called Level 2 (L2) caches. These caches sit between the CPU and the DRAM. Like L1 caches, L2 caches are composed of SRAM but they are much larger. \n\nDisk caching works under the same principle as memory caching, but instead of using high-speed SRAM, a disk cache uses conventional main memory. The most recently accessed data from the disk (as well as adjacent sectors) is stored in a memory buffer. When a program needs to access data from the disk, it first checks the disk cache to see if the data is there. Disk caching can dramatically improve the performance of applications, because accessing a byte of data in RAM can be thousands of times faster than accessing a byte on a hard disk. \n\nWhen data is found in the cache, it is called a cache hit, and the effectiveness of a cache is judged by its hit rate. Many cache systems use a technique known as smart caching, in which the system can recognize certain types of frequently used data. The strategies for determining which information should be kept in the cache constitute some of the more interesting problems in computer science.

Great question. Your memory is being managed by your Microsoft Windows XP or whatever you're currently using. By allowing other programs to take part in that memory, you'll be causing a bad conflict that will eventually cause the machine to start reporting false and inaccurate CRC information and free disk space. Windows offers you "Task Manager" which is, of course, the very best that's offered. Microsoft products for Microsoft Applications. Larry Radio Shack 01-9590

more memory and bigger pagefile size

You should visit to www.intel.com\nThere are so many documents talking about memory management.

Are you referring to Virtual Storage (Also called Virtual Memory)?\n\nVirtual memory or virtual memory addressing is a memory management technique, used by multitasking computer operating systems wherein non-contiguous memory is presented to a software application as contiguous memory. The contiguous memory is referred to as the virtual address space.  The vitual address space is typically 4-10 times the size of the actual physical memory.\n\nThe term "virtual memory" often involves the use of "memory swapping" (or "page/swap file" use).\n\nIn technical terms, virtual memory allows software to run in a memory address space whose size and addressing are not necessarily tied to the computer's physical memory.

if you are using windows XP do this\nRight click on my computer --> proprieties --> advanced --> performance(setting)-->choose adjust for best performance\n\nthe go to advance -->virtual memory(change)-->\nallocate the paging file in the partition that dose not containing your operating system and it should equal 1.5*ram size , in your case 256*1.5 ... and choose no paging file in your OS partition

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.
