Virtual memory low, Firefox not responding email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 83/100. kris182_2000 (1360)   ranked 329 out of 10,884 in computers3 months ago

Ugh, for the past month this has been getting more and more frequent.

I gave in last week and decided to upgrade my laptop memory.

I've had this laptop for less than a year, but it was an off lease purchase from a local eBay store.

I once had to wipe the hard drive clean due to some massive viruses, so far none have returned.

But now I have the issue of low virtual memory and it drives me nuts. This happens more when I'm using Facebook and I'm using various applications.

So, time for an upgrade, and now I'm just waiting for it in the mail. Hopefully when it arrives, it works and I can get back to normal with everything online.

There are many people in the same boat, and my husband said that he wishes he had never bought 2 vista laptops which only came with 1GB RAM.
He says its inevitable and the Vista ones he bought need another GB of RAM to perform well.
He read the spec wrong, lol
He bought an XP notebook with only 1GB RAM, and its enough to run XP really well.
Our laptops will need more RAM soon as well, although he has rid them both of all the stuff they dont need, and he has altered the start up programs etc and changed the visual settings as well. Still slow compared to the small XP netbook

I'm having a similar problem. I'd love to know if your upgrade helps & what all you end up upgrading. Please update after you do your upgrade & know for sure it works!!!

What operating system have you got, how much RAM,
My husband made mine go a lot quicker,


myLot reputation of 94/100. LadyMarissa (2714)   ranked 191 out of 10,884 in computers  3 months ago

I have an old desktop with XP. only 512 mb ram. I would love to upgrade to 1gig or maybe 2. I think I could add the memory myself but get confused on how to know which memory to buy. I recently cleaned my hard drive & that helped a lot at first, but I've noticed it slowing down again. I went to one of the geek sites to ask how to decide what memory I needed to buy. They replied they would tell me if I would pay them. If they had said we will answer your questions for a fee I would have still asked & paid them. However, I felt they were using deceptive practices when they offered to answer my questions & then said they couldn't unless I paid them. I didn't feel I could trust them with my credit card. If they'd lie about one thing, what else would they lie about???

Hello LadyMarissa. In terms of upgrading your memory or ram there's a very useful website that I use. The website is www.cruicial.com When you go to this website it gives you the option to scan your system and it lets you know what type of ram you have in your system and it also lets you know how much ram you can install in your system. When I carry out any memory upgrades I always use this site now. All the best. Andrew

Oops, slight spelling error. The correction is www.crucial.com Andrew

Thank you Andrew for the site. I think I found exactly what I need & it's not that expensive!!! happy I'm one of those people who knows just enough to be dangerous. I'm learning as I go. I'm more self taught than book learning. Nice blog btw!!! Thanks again for the info!!!!! w00t

Have you tried increasing the size of the Virtual Memory? This can easily be done, and you may already know how to access the menu. Of course it would depend on your available hard disk space.

You mentioned Firefox in the title. My default browser is one which is small in size, and the current version handles memory better than Firefox.

try to increase the size of your paging file. It must do it. If it still says the message you told, then it is time to increase your RAM capacity. If your laptop does not have the capacity to add another RAM, then try to uninstall some applications that eat up much of your memory.
Thanks

Yes,I think it would be better to upgrade. RAM is one of the most important parts of the computer to maintain speed and good health. If you want to run a lot of applications at a time, it is absolutely necessary to have a huge amount of RAM in your system. You have taken the best decision to upgrade it.
All the best

Hi kris

yeah many of us face the same problem, i just have 1gb of memory and i am beginning to feel how slow my laptop has been getting lately, i think at this time a 2gb ram should be optimum, yeah but if you could get some more then it would be even better for the future but i would say 2gb memory should be okay...

have a nice day kris!cool
