Help For Slow Computer Can Come From Adding More RAM
To work properly, a PC needs to have adequate working memory. It has many different names: short term memory, physical memory, RAM (Random Access Memory), DRAM, SDRAM, etc. Without enough “RAM” it will not be able to function properly. Most PC’s today will have 1 to 3 GB (GigaByte) of RAM for a regular capacity home and office computer. Once you are sure your computer has good “servicing” or maintenance (as discussed above) then move on to this memory issue.
To find out how much RAM your computer has follow this simple path: Click your computer’s start button or windows icon in the bottom left corner. Find “Control Panel” and click it. The control panel will have many names or icons referring to areas of your computer such as devices, configurations, setting, etc. of programs, hardware…. Anyway, find the “System” or Computer System icon and click it. Here you will see the basic information about your computer. Look for “RAM” or one of the other names it can be listed under to see your PC’s existing working memory amount.
Another consideration in determining if you need more memory is how your PC is used. If you are a big online game player you need a lot more than someone that only uses word processing and sending emails. Even the operating system that you have will effect the amount of RAM you need. Supposedly XP uses more memory to run than Vista. Also how many of your programs “come on” at start-up? For instance if you have P2P downloading, remote computer connections or even some network hooks that begin automatically when you start your computer, they can eat up a great deal of your working memory.
So how can you tell. Try this simple test: On the lower tool bar on your desk top, right click on a blank space. A box should pop-up with six to eight choices. Click “Task Manager”. The Task Manager box will have tabs for “Applications”, “Processes”, “Services”, etc. On the bottom of the Task Manager’s box you should see a listing of three or more functions that are going on in real time. One of these should be “Physical Memory” or RAM being used at that moment. Anything above 70% is too high. Try shutting off some active programs and see if it falls. This can give you an idea of how your computer stands in Random Access Memory and if this is the cause of your slow computer issues.

Another idea is to restart your computer. This will give it a fresh start clearing out much of the memory temporarily. Then check the RAM as shown above and see where it is.
