If the hard drive is full, all you can do, or need to do, is to remove as much from the hard drive as you can,
save what you want - to cd's, delete what you really don't need or use anymore.
or.
If you have a small hard drive, you can get a slave drive added to your system pretty cheap. ( slave drive is just another hard drive added)
You can even get an external hard drive real cheap- just plug it into your computer.
Then save all old non- program files to the slave drive.
if the hard drive is full... MORE RAM will NOT help.
When the hard drive is full, many programs will stop working right and some will Freeze.
