well there are many kinds of memory first is primary & second is secondary. if you r talking about primary well it is non - volatile memory & secondary is volatile. so it depends on the storage capacity also.if you r using primary memory the size will vary with 32,64,128,256,512 & 1 gb of memory  (RAM) and if u want to store more memory and want to store permanently then you need help of secondary memeory and that is hard disk.if varies from 2gb to 500gb or more now the latest hard disk comes upto morethan 100 terabites of space that is more than 10000 gb of space.

Article taken from:\nhttp://www.askbobrankin.com/low_virtual_memory.html\n\nFeelin' Mighty Low (on Memory)When all of your computer's real physical memory (RAM) is in use, Windows will try to create virtual memory by grabbing a chunk of hard drive space and treating it like real memory. Your software can't tell the difference between real and virtual memory, but you might because virtual memory access is much slower, due to the hard drive activity it requires.\n\nIf you encounter the low virtual memory error message, then you have used the maximum amount of real plus virtual memory that is supported on your system. Sometimes programs that crash or ones that are poorly designed will not return their working memory space to the operating system when they're done using it. Other programs that need a large amount of memory to run may fail because Windows cannot "see" the available memory. In most cases, a shutdown and restart will resolve this problem.\n\nWindows Knows BestIf you still see the dreaded "Your system is low on virtual memory" message then the first thing to do is make sure your computer is configured to allow Windows to automatically manage the virtual memory. In Windows XP, follow these steps:\n\n\nClick Start, then open the Control Panel.\n\nClick Performance and Maintenance, and then click System.\n\nClick the Advanced tab.\n\nUnder Performance, click Settings.\n\nClick the Advanced tab.\n\nUnder Virtual memory, click Change.\n\nUnder Drive [Volume Label], click the drive that contains the paging file (virtual memory) settings that you want to change. In almost every case, this will be your C: drive.\n\nClick to select the "System managed size" option, then click Set.\n\nClick OK three times and restart your computer.\n\nWhen you allow Windows to manage your virtual memory, it should make the optimum amount of virtual memory available, by automatically shrinking or enlarging the paging file as needed. If that doesn't solve the low virtual memory problem, there are a few more things you can try.\n\nEliminate Non-Essential ProgramsOver time, we tend to accumulate a bit of clutter on a computer. My article "Making Windows XP Run Faster!" will show you how to keep your system updated, eliminate viruses & spyware, scrub the hard disk of unneeded files, slim down your startup selections, and eliminate unnecessary system services. All of these things will free up resources in your computer, making it run faster and more reliably.\n\nAdd RAM to Your SystemIt might just be the case that your computer needs more real, physical memory. By this I mean RAM sticks that can be purchased in most computer, electronics, or office supply stores. If your PC is more than three years old, chances are it's close to being obsolete -- at least in terms of the ability to run today's resource-hogging software packages. And adding RAM to an older computer is the most effective thing you can do to upgrade it.\n\nTo see how much memory you have installed, follow these steps under Windows XP:\n\n\nClick Start, then open the Control Panel.\n\nClick Performance and Maintenance, and then click System.\n\nOn the System Properties window, you'll see the type and speed of your processor (CPU) and the amount of RAM. Note that Windows always seems to report that you have slightly less memory than you actually have. For example, if Windows reports 496 MB of RAM, you actually have 512 MB. (Memory will always be installed in 64 MB increments.)\n\nThe more RAM you have, the better your computer will perform. I recommend you have a minimum 256 megabytes (MB) of RAM, but with 512 MB or even a gigabyte of RAM, you'll notice much better performance.\n\nPlan B: Recycle Your ComputerIf popping the hood on your old PC sounds like too much trauma, consider buying a new one. Computer prices have dropped a lot over the past few years, and the computing power you get for your money is going u

Try checking your hard disk memory!

Often, that amount of RAM is not enough to run all of the programs that most users expect to run at once. For example, if you load the Windows operating system, an e-mail program, a Web browser and word processor into RAM simultaneously, 64 megabytes is not enough to hold it all. If there were no such thing as virtual memory, your computer would have to say, "Sorry, you cannot load any more applications. Please close an application to load a new one." With virtual memory, the computer can look for areas of RAM that have not been used recently and copy them onto the hard disk. This frees up space in RAM to load the new application. Because it does this automatically, you don't even know it is happening, and it makes your computer feel like is has unlimited RAM space even though it has only 32 megabytes installed. Because hard-disk space is so much cheaper than RAM chips, virtual memory also provides a nice economic benefit. \n\nThe area of the hard disk that stores the RAM image is called a page file. It holds pages of RAM on the hard disk, and the operating system moves data back and forth between the page file and RAM. \n\nTo change the size of the virtual memory paging file\n-----------------------------------------------------\nRight click on 'My computer' Icon and go to properties\nOn the Advanced tab, click Performance Options, and under Virtual memory, click Change. \nIn the Drive list, click the drive that contains the paging file you want to change. \nUnder Paging file size for selected drive, type a new paging file size in megabytes in the Initial Size (MB) or Maximum Size (MB) box, and then click Set. \nIf you decrease the size of either the minimum or maximum page file settings, you must restart your computer to see the effects of those changes. Increases generally do not require a restart.

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 assume you mean hard disk space. To check that just open "my computer" then right click on the C: drive and hit properties. It will show you a little color coded pie chart telling you how much space you used and how much is left.\n\nIf you really want to know about memory then right click the taskbar (XP) then hit task manager. In the performance tab it shows how much memory is being used.

right click on my compueter/properties/ advance/performance option and then u can set the regisrty size ..this works for win 2000

you can also try running virus scan and spyware removal, to get rid of all the junk that is using your system resources without your knowledge, also if you are running windows xp or 2000 press ctrl, alt, delete and bring up the task manager, go to the processes tab and see what is actually running on your system and how much memory usage each program is running, if you see something that is using a large chunk of memory and you know for absolutely certain that it is not a vital program for your operating system, like explorer, shut it down if you arent using it, you can also run through the add/remove programs list in control panel and remove programs that you will never use that run in the background while your computer is on, there are a lot of little tweaks you can do to take advantage of what little ram you have

XP will use up to 4 gb but on most systems only recognize 3.5 gb I personally use  2gb of DDR2 pc5400 667 mhz i have a program that works on intel motherboards desktop control center that monitors usage i have maxed usage around 900 mb so 1 gb is enough  512 mb is a little lite

To be totally honest with you unless you have a computer with no way to upgade the memory to at least 128MB. I would really not waste my time with Windows 98SE. If you want a good solid internet computer Windows 2000 is great for a older machine and you will have USB mass storage and not have to mess with all sorts of silly drivers for everything like 98SE makes you do. If you can't find 2000 - Xp will even work in most older computers!!

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

Usually if you take the RAM out of the computer, there is a sticker on it that will list the specs of the RAM.\n\nIf you are not comfortable opening the case, you have a program called "MSINFO" on most computers.  Go to C:&#92;Windows&#92;msapps&#92;msinfo" and run the MSINFO program.  This will give you many stats about your computer, including the RAM speed and type.

What you are referring to as memory is called hard drive space.  These are two different things.\n\nYou can purchase a new hard drive with a larger capacity, or simply add another hard drive to the system.  The drive containing your Operating System (Most likely a version of Windows) is the system drive.  Installing a second drive as a slave will allow for additional space.  You can save your music, videos, games, etc here and, if you want, install a different Operating System (which you could do on your system drive as well).\n\n60GB should be plenty of space for you to install and play your game.  If you are low on space, this will slow your system down anyway.  Therefore, you should get rid of content on the drive that is useless such as programs you no longer use and trash files.
