low in memory
laptop or desktop?
-----------------------------------
You have to ensure your previous RAM is compatible with
the new RAM.
And that it's compatible with your motherboard.
Have a look at the memory configurators.

======================================
This usually means that you have too many programs/services running in
the background. This usually does not refer to the amount of physical
RAM in your system, although I wouldn't run XP with less than 256MB of
RAM. Here are generic troubleshooting steps for you to take:
1)Scan with current antivirus ("current" means a version not later than
2002 but using updated virus definitions); 2) remove spyware with
Spybot Search & Destroy (www.security.kolla.de) and Ad-aware
(www.lavasoftusa.com) - note that it is a good idea to do virus/spyware
scans in Safe Mode; 3) delete temporary and Temporary Internet Files;
4) stop unnecessary services/programs from starting with Windows - see www.blackviper.com for services info and www.pacs-portal.co.uk
startup_index.htm for programs info.
Read up at www.aumha.org/win5/a/xpvm.htm and see if any of the items in
Problems apply. I have also had reports of this arising at boot after
installing Norton NAV 2004, but no firm confirmation
