68mb of ram free?is this ok?

68mb of ram isn't a great deal,fragmenting the hard drive has little effect on you cpu's ram as the hard drive is the storage capacity not the actual thinking space(RAM).If i was you i would have a look at the task manager by pressin the keys Ctrl,Alt and delete at the same time. Then select the processes tab and scroll down to see what is eating all the ram which will be in a % in the cpu usage indicator located at the bottom,ther will be an image name for e.g. taskmgr.exe find out which one is the highest cpu usage. Any problems let me know....

don't do it. slows stuff down. RAM is cheap. if you use multiple sticks, match by size, speed and manufacturer.

no, i don't think so. I did it with 128MB ram, it doesn't hang but it's horribly slow. I suggest to go to 256MB ram, to get a reasonable performance.

yeah i would recommend incrase the ram as much as possible since not worth upgrading the cpu/motherboard\nthis show help in video editting. \ni use 1.5gb of ram and a 2.8ghz cpu and still find a bit slow when doing non digital as well.

Nobody uses that much horsepower. Unless you are using the pc for a database that is accessed by thousands or something. Or into animation graphics. There is no need for 2 gigs of ram either. But if you are content on having it you should check out the Mushkin ram or Corsair best out there!

it depends what your computer is used for.   if it is used for basic stuff like Internet, Email, Web surfing, older games, it's OK.  If it's used for editing videos, high graphics requirement games, you probably need more RAM....like 2 or more Gigabytes.    so I guess the answer is, It Depends.

If you have the mother board on an intel chipset then it will take a percentage of ram by itself.\nYou cannot change that Neither is it required

Check your computer's specifications...usually found online someplace if you look up the model number and make.  Sometimes it'll tell you what the maximum memory is for your computer.  It doesn't matter what sizes you put in there to make up the numbers as long as (I'm thinking) it's within your max memory.  I seen some older computers only a max of 128RAM....was time to ditch those badboys.  I'm running 512mb right now...two 256 sticks.  Computer runs great even doing videos while running other programs.

I really would reconsider upgrading the memory only.\n\nThe reality is that your PC is very old and needs to be upgraded.  For $100 you could buy a good used PC where the memory you're gonna buy is gonna cost around $40\n\nAnyway...you'll need:\n\nTechnology: SDRAM - non-ECC\nForm Factor: DIMM 168-PIN\nUpgrade Rule: Max 128 MB module\n\nGood luck!

You can use higher, it will slow down to 2700. Can't use lower. The test is does it boot, and does the computer recognize the ram, If that is yes, you are ok. Any combination will not harm the pc, it will only not work or complain.

Simply add more ram.\n256 less than adequate.\n512 adequate\n1gig plus is ideal

Well whats the age of your PC.  Are you getting an error?  When you say it takes too much time, makes me think you may have to little memory.  Have atleast 256MB or 512 MB of RAM?

Get 512 Mb, or more if you can afford it.   Ideally you want to the the memory on 1 stick, not 2, to conserve the slots on your motherboard for future upgrades.   Be sure to buy the correct type of RAM for your motherboard.

Sounds like you do have too many applications, like I did. Adding more RAM will fix the problem.  It cost me $60.00, and it was worth it; isn't that aggravating!\n\nHope this helps.

You mean 1Gb RAM.\n\nWhatever spec. you think is good enough now certainly won't be in a few months time if you ever consider upgrading to Windows Vista.  But the spec. you suggested will be more than enough for your current needs.   However, for what you use your current machine for, I would save money and opt for a memory and hard disk upgrade.  This will cost considerably less than a new machine.\n\nJust a memory upgrade itself will be a great benefit (you don't say which operating system you're using).

you know the sname of ur laptop go to there website there should be some histrory on ur type of laptop should tell you what the maximum of ram can go into it

Check the BIOS, maybe 128MB is used as Video RAM.  If that's the case, you are really OK.  But you might be looking at getting more RAM.   Visit http://www.coastmemory.com and look up your system. \n\nGood luck
