Solve : Where is my RAM?? |
|
Answer» Only using windows mail and internet explorer. My other computer has 4gb ram and I thought this would be as fast if that is all it was doing. Seems silly to buy a computer with 1gb RAM and the system tells you that you only have 746mb. I was just thinking maybe there was something loaded that I don't need and that I could get rid of. Only using windows mail and internet explorerIt might be just on browsing or on Internet connection speed. I also have a Win 7 Starter notebook with 1 gig of RAM but on browsing and emails has never been a problem. Only on some occasional slow internet connection speed. Why not try first using Google Chrome browser to check on the difference. If you are used to have a 2 to 4 gig of memory and a higher end computer, certainly you would see a difference on a 512 to 1 gig of RAM. Are you SURE your just using one antivirus and firewall as a BASIC protection software?Thank you. Will try Google Chrome. Only have Nortons and Windows firewall says Norton is magaging it. Thanks for your help. Regards GeofflYou mean the system was sold as having 1GB of RAM, yet 764mb is all that is showing up? This could be a bad mobo or RAM stick.Quote from: immental1200 on October 01, 2011, 06:30:55 AM You mean the system was sold as having 1GB of RAM, yet 764mb is all that is showing up?

It means my browser screwed up, so just ignore any previous posts from me on this topic.what i could suggest to help you speed up your computer a bit, is to uninstall norton via their uninstall tool that i think you can get from their website somewhere, it ends up working cleaner then the uninstall that comes with it, and install microsoft security essentials from microsofts website, for a free anti virus, and if you can, buy WEBROOT internet security essentials, both work well in tandem, and they are what i currently run on my windows machine, both together use ~90mb of ram, out of 6gb. im betting norton would be using twice thatThere's ABSOLUTELY nothing wrong with the current version of Norton. A few years ago the the Norton programs were rewritten from scratch. Now they're much more on par for resources with other full-featured pay programs. It had a bad rep for being a resource hog in the past, and people just can't get over that. I have it installed on 3 (one XP, one Vista, and one 7) and none of them have a problem with it. |
