Solve : Why does Ram Decrease the Longer I use My PC? |
|
Answer» Howdy thats not too bad is it?It's not actually. Thanks now I feel better! I sometimes use cleamem a memory optimizer that actually works-my ram was about 300megs free last post and I turned on cleanmem and right now I have 393 megs free-not too shabby,you should check out the program,the developer uses it even havin a ton of ram http://www.pcwintech.com/cleanmem Thanks Rod Creatively disguised Spam... I was gonna see how long it played itself out.Patio what do you mean -this is not spam,just letting people know of a free program is that spam? is that what you mean?I dont understand-feel free to delete this topic if I did something wrong.My questions were legitimate and if I did somethig wrong I apoligize. Rod Duly noted. The Topic will stay intact.Microsoft originally designed Windows to operate on computers that were built with WAY TOO LITTLE actuall RAM. Many companies put way too little ram in their PC's to get them out the door at discount prices, knowing that the Pagefile would pick up the slack, at a significant hit on performance. When a program can't fully load into the available ram, Windows will shuffle it off to the Pagefile on the hard drive. That's called "Virtual Memory". The real problem with that is that the hard drive is the slowest part of your computer. It's thousands of times slower than the Ram itself. So the overall solution to the problem is to give your OS enough ram in the first place. For any version of XP, you should try to get up to 2 gig's of ram. Then use of the hard drive and the Pagefile will go down and system performance will increase. I try to do this for all my customers, with OLD PC's, Windows XP and LIMITED amounts of RAM. Memory optimizers just mask the problem, they don't FIX anything. Those programs actually use up ram when they are running. You're better off, to either add more ram to your computer, or minimize the TSR's and Services running in the background on your PC. I do this stuff for a living and have for many years, so I know it's possible. Good Luck, Shadow Quote from: TheShadow on October 02, 2012, 02:55:09 PM Microsoft originally designed Windows to operate on computers that were built with WAY TOO LITTLE actuall RAM. They didn't. "Way too little" in 2011 was "a lot of RAM" in 2001. Microsoft designed each version of Windows to run with what seemed like the amount of RAM an affordable PC was likely to have at the time of release. There were minimum amounts, and recommended amounts. Thanks guys cant afford ram now as I am saving up for a new pc, shadow- the above mentioned ram optimizer really does work so I am fine with it-it is the only one I use and the only one I trust .
