didn't know that showed me what type of RAM my computer has? thought it only told me how much I have?

Are you still trying to work out what type of RAM you've got?

Awwww leave her alone ....shes a natural Blonde ...

And how would you know that?

Have you not read her posts ???

There's only one guaranteed way to tell if she's a natural blonde.

I was just curious if you went there!

Well no .......not at this point

Do you still need help with buying new RAM for your Computer ?
This thread seems full with blonde insults .

Depending on your current PC hardware , will be
if its cheap just to upgrade the RAM with another stick
or if its going to be cheaper buying a new
cpu , new motherboard and new ram . (Since old ram is costly)

Can you please download a free program called SIW
http://www.gtopala.com/download/siw.exe

Once you have downloaded SIW , you want to run
the program.

Then goto the 'hardware' section on the left hand side
Then goto the 'Motherboard' section

Can you please post down the Manufacturer , model ,
CPU socket and CPU information

Then goto the 'memory' section and post the details
how many memory slots , memory type , memory speed




Now if its a system using DDR1 RAM (DDR266/DDR333/DDR400)
then you could get some new stick of DDR1-400 speed ram
but its going to be expensive , might be a better choice
to get a new CPU/RAM (DDR2-667)/Motherboard.

Just checked Umart.net.au (Local PC store in Brisbane & GC)
they list 1 gig of DDR1-400 for $75 new

Where for $50 you can get 2 gig of DDR2-667 RAM.

So looking at that if you can afford 70 to 90 bucks
and if it is older system that uses DDR1 ram that could
get you out of trouble , its up to you and how much dollars
you have to spend on the computer

Blondeaozchick,

Go onto Google and look for CPUz download.
Run CPUz and it will tell you exactly what type of memory you have, it's speed and size.

Another option is if you right click on "My Computer" on your desktop, it will tell you what type of processor and it's speed is, can you let me know what that is as I can probably work out what RAM you have. I also need to know what brand and model your PC is.

I fix PC's as a sideline. I'm currently doing a Diploma in IT.

All the best

Shit.. should have done this awhile ago... its ok now.. bourbs helped me realise I didnt need to increase my RAM.. I just needed to reduce the amount of programs I had running at all times taking up my precious resources... get this.. I had 127 programs (i think it was) running in the background.. I am now down to 43 at the most so its much much better


so thanks to bourbs for taking the time to get to the real source of the problem

You should be able to get 512Mb of virtually any common memory of the last 10 years on ebay for less than $50 (more like $20-30). Once you know your motherboard and what memory you have (hopefully 1 stick of 512Mb). 1Gb total is all you would go to for Windows XP. Helps when running loads of stuff.

(this sort of thing is my business)

thanks Tam.. yeah eventually I will either increase my RAM or more preferably get a whole new computer but at the moment is bearable enough where I dont want to smash my computer into a million pieces

Enjoy!

oh I am

So how do you find out how many programs you are running in the background please, would like to know thank you very much, I asked a computer question the other day and i didn't get the influx of computer experts.
I am going to ebay to buy a blond wig and blond muff rug

Everyone's an expert.

Just flash a bit of leg and watch the experts come out of the woodwork.

Best advise I can give you is....

Don't fix it if it aint broke!

funny!!! ill email you tomorrow molly.. I'm going to be now.. its too late to think about writing what you need to do.. oh I know.. ill just cut and paste the bits about how to check it from bourbs email... thats the only bit I'll cut and paste tho.. the rest is for my eyes only

I paid $31.50 for a leg of lamb

blondeaozichick:
150 to 43 programs , WTF
I think you mean process

I only have a few programs running on my server PC
at the current time

Firefox (web Surfing_
DC++ (File sharing tool)
Perfect Disk (Defrag tool)
Miranda IM (Instant Messager that works with Yahoo , MSN and ICQ)
Statbar (information tool)
and Speedfan - Checks/monitors heat of hdds/cpu , speed of fans


I have 29 process's running .

Standard Windows (Not Nlited) can get bloated up with commercial free software and trail ware . Once a year its good to backup all the data and do a CLEAN RE-INSTALL of Windows , also gives you a chance to BACKUP once a year also .

If its still slow May I suggest getting a copy of Hijackthis
