Solve : RAM allocation? |
|
Answer» Is there a program anyone is familiar with to allocate RAM to specific areas? I recently went from 512 RAM to 1 GB using Windows XP so I wouldn't get stops/starts when watching video clips. (1GB was the max supported with my motherboard) 1GB RAM should be plenty to WATCH clips, as in YouTube, without having to pause every minute or less. Actually, I'm just trying to get my video to stop freezing. It'll play for several seconds, then freeze, as if it's loading up more info to play. With 1GB RAM I would think that'd be plenty to play a video clip without jerking/freezing. I tried lowering the video accelerator in Windows Media Player, and it helps, but still get the freezing. Video decoding is bottlenecked by the processor, not RAM.Quote Is there a program anyone is familiar with to allocate RAM to specific areas?The only memory allocation features you will find are for here --> http://www.ehow.com/how_5211859_change-memory-allocated-graphics-card.html Usually for onboard graphics features on newer machines such as a Laptop.

It depends mainly on Internet speed/connection.

Are you watching video clips on WMP(downloaded,converted) or having some multimedia conflict? Perhaps this one --> http://zachd.com/pss/pss.html#videoThe picture will freeze for a few seconds even though the audio continues. This happens with YouTube frequently. I believe there is a multimedia conflict, as I had problems when I tried to download and then open a DVD copy program. Downloaded fine, but would not open. There's a conflict somewhere, but I'd be happy if I could just eliminate the video freeze. I'll try the suggested sites. Thanks.Have you tried downloading a new copy of flash player? What is your internet connection speed? What is the brand and model of your computer?What BROWSER are you using? Have you tried a different browser? Since your motherboard only supports 1 GB I suspect that your processor is older and slow. What speeds are you actually getting from your ISP? Not advertised speed, but measured speeds?

Downloaded fine, but would not open Are you getting confused between downloading and streaming?Browser is Google Chrome. Processor is a Gateway 1.8mhz, so it's about 8 years old. Streaming is where the video freezes for a few seconds. Upload speed is 1.05 Mbps; download speed is 6.26 Mbps. The reason I thought there may be a software conflict is that I was able to record DVDs as well as watch streaming video without a freeze. I started having problems with the DVD copier, so I deleted the program and hunted for a replacement. I found I could download copiers, but none would open. Click the icon, and nothing! I must have downloaded something that is confusing the video somehow, but I've deleted the DVD copier programs. Still have freezes now. I can load up a video, say in YouTube, wait until it's loaded completely, and still get freezes. Flash Player is automatically updated through Google Chrome browser. What's next? Try another browser. |
