sloooooow computer

[Guest]

I have a Durand processor running win xp. I am hooked to the internet by a
hub in my building, (DSL I think). There are 2 other computers hooked into
the same hub and they are running fine. My problem is the computer at my
desk, for some reason it reboots several times before actually letting me on
and then to wait for something to open, be it a program or the internet, I am
taking a nap it is so slow. I have defragged, disk checked, ran numerous
virus scans, and even bought a registry clean up tool and ran that. Nothing
seems to work to get this computer working like it should. It originally ran
great. Any suggestions as to how to go about fixing this problem? It is
really frustrating. Would installing more memory help?? Not really sure how
much I have now but I can't think of anything else to do.

do you have eTrust firewall & antivirus? That could cause something like what
you are describing.

It would appear that the primary reason is the minimal amount of RAM
installed is 128 MB and that is shared with the video compounding the
problem. Consider increasing it to 512 MB.

Yep, no doubt about it, 128MB of memory is simply not enough. Find out what

Installed Memory

Slot '0' has 128 MB

That alone is info enough. You have 128MB of RAM, and 32MB of it is used for
video memory, leaving you with only 96MB.

Neither 96MB nor 128MB is anywhere near enough to run Windows XP with
anything approaching acceptable speed. It's no wonder you call it sloooooow.

You get good performance if the amount of RAM you have keeps you from using
the page file, and that depends on what apps you run. Most people running a
typical range of business applications find that somewhere around 256-384MB
works well, others need 512MB. Almost anyone will see poor performance with
less than 256MB. Some people, particularly those doing things like editing
large photographic images, can see a performance boost by adding even more
than 512MB--sometimes much more.

With your shared memory, even if you were to install another 128MB, that
would leave you with only 224MB usable. That would make an improvement, but
probably not as much as you might like. Assuming that you don't run any
demanding apps, if I were in your shoes, I'd install another 256MB for a
total of 384MB, with 352MB usable.

out what memory type and size your motherboard can accept and
increase to at least 512MB, the more the better.

Yes, certainly 128MB (really only 96 in here case) is nowhere near enought,
but "the more the better" is not correct. More memory helps if it keeps you
from using the page file. Once you have enough memory to not use the page
file, extra memory doesn't help. It depends on what apps tami runs, but most
people won't make effective use of more than 512MB, and some people don't
even need that much.

Not only just what apps but how many applications that are or could
be open at the same time, plus background software like AV utilities,
firewall, Etc.

Yes, but be careful with respect to apps that are open, but not in actual
use (including, but not limited to, background software). Programs that are
not in actual use quickly get transferred to the page file and stay there
until they are used; those in use mostly stay in RAM (assuming enough RAM
for them to fit). That kind of semi-permant use of the page file by programs
not in actual use doesn't hurt performance; what hurts is frequent paging in
and out because the amount of memory needed on a constant basis is more than
is available in RAM.

As a single example of this, I use a little background program called
AllChars; its purpose is to permit entry of special characters, including
non-English one like ñ. ü, and ç. It's invoked when you press particular key
combinations. Although it takes up virtual memory, because I need it seldom,
it normally doesn't use real RAM at all, and doesn't hurt performance,
either with respect to increasing paging or anything else.

So it's not simply having something on the page file that hurts performance,
it's constant changing of what's in the page file--reading and writing to
it--that hurts Putting something there and leaving it there, or even
accessing it a couple of times a day, is such a slight use that it would
never be noticed.

I have a Durand processor running win xp. I am hooked to the
internet by a
hub in my building, (DSL I think). There are 2 other computers
hooked into
the same hub and they are running fine. My problem is the
computer at my
desk, for some reason it reboots several times before actually
letting me
on
and then to wait for something to open, be it a program or the
internet, I
am
taking a nap it is so slow. I have defragged, disk checked, ran
numerous
virus scans, and even bought a registry clean up tool and ran
that. Nothing
seems to work to get this computer working like it should. It
originally
ran
great. Any suggestions as to how to go about fixing this problem?
It is really frustrating. Would installing more memory help?? Not
really sure how
much I have now but I can't think of anything else to do.

 

[JS]

Valid point!
Now how about the fact the when you add more memory like I did recently,
going from 348MB to 512MB, I did not get another 128MB of free memory,
Windows gobbled some of it.

JS

Not only just what apps but how many applications that are or could
be open at the same time, plus background software like AV utilities,
firewall, Etc.

Yes, but be careful with respect to apps that are open, but not in actual
use (including, but not limited to, background software). Programs that
are not in actual use quickly get transferred to the page file and stay
there until they are used; those in use mostly stay in RAM (assuming
enough RAM for them to fit). That kind of semi-permant use of the page
file by programs not in actual use doesn't hurt performance; what hurts is
frequent paging in and out because the amount of memory needed on a
constant basis is more than is available in RAM.

As a single example of this, I use a little background program called
AllChars; its purpose is to permit entry of special characters, including
non-English one like ñ. ü, and ç. It's invoked when you press particular
key combinations. Although it takes up virtual memory, because I need it
seldom, it normally doesn't use real RAM at all, and doesn't hurt
performance, either with respect to increasing paging or anything else.

So it's not simply having something on the page file that hurts
performance, it's constant changing of what's in the page file--reading
and writing to it--that hurts Putting something there and leaving it
there, or even accessing it a couple of times a day, is such a slight use
that it would never be noticed.

512MB works fine (144MB still available as shown in
Task Manager) on the PC I'm using to write this but opening a couple

Yes, certainly 128MB (really only 96 in here case) is nowhere near
enought, but "the more the better" is not correct. More memory helps
if it keeps you from using the page file. Once you have enough
memory to not use the page file, extra memory doesn't help. It
depends on what apps tami runs, but most people won't make effective
use of more than 512MB, and some people don't even need that much.

free memory, Windows gobbled some of it.

Wanting to minimize the amount of memory Windows uses is a counterproductive
desire. Windows is designed to use all, or nearly all, of your memory, all
the time, and that's good not bad. Free memory is wasted memory. You paid
for it all and shouldn't want to see any of it wasted.

Windows works hard to find a use for all the memory you have all the time.
For example if your apps don't need some of it, it will use that part for
caching, then give it back when your apps later need it. In this way Windows
keeps all your memory working for you all the time.

Using memory for caching is nowhere as beneficial as using it for
applications, but it's better than having it sit around idle.

Tami,

No doubt you read the numerous posts between me and Ken. The important thing
is to verify the number of open memory slots you have available. The type of
memory for your motherboard and the maximum size (in MB, 128, 256 or 512
sticks) that one slot can accept. If your pc can take a 512MB stick for
example it may be more economical to buy 1 512MB stick than two 256MB
sticks. But as Ken said even 348MB will be a big help.

Check your owners manual or see Crucial's site as it has a memory advisor
tool that can in most cases identify what memory your PC will accept and
what you budget will allow.
http://www.crucial.com/

JS

Yep, no doubt about it, 128MB of memory is simply not enough. Find out
what memory type and size your motherboard can accept and increase to at
least 512MB, the more the better.

Thanks Ken, JS and Bob,
I think I will go with 512 due to the fact that I do use Photoshop CS and
work with lots of big projects frequently. I thought it might be memory but
wasn't really sure. Will install more and hopefully, the slooooow will cease.
Will let you all know.
Again, thanks for all your input.

It would appear that the primary reason is the minimal amount of RAM
installed is 128 MB and that is shared with the video compounding the
problem. Consider increasing it to 512 MB.

Most people don't need more than 512MB (some don't even need that much), but
if you use Photoshop, you don't fall into the "most people" category. It is
a big user of memory, and even 512MB is on the low side for it. You might
want to consider going to 1GB.

 

[JS]

Best of luck on your memory upgrade.

I have a Durand processor running win xp. I am hooked to the internet
by a
hub in my building, (DSL I think). There are 2 other computers hooked
into
the same hub and they are running fine. My problem is the computer at
my
desk, for some reason it reboots several times before actually letting
me
on
and then to wait for something to open, be it a program or the
internet, I
am
taking a nap it is so slow. I have defragged, disk checked, ran
numerous
virus scans, and even bought a registry clean up tool and ran that.
Nothing
seems to work to get this computer working like it should. It
originally
ran
great. Any suggestions as to how to go about fixing this problem? It
is
really frustrating. Would installing more memory help?? Not really
sure
how
much I have now but I can't think of anything else to do.
