Re: i need some help on my memory load
For win2k/xp, I believe one should just let windows manage the page file. In previous windows versions, it made sense to tweak the page file, but I do not mess with it for win2k/xp.
For new user PCs that we are currently buying, I agree, 512MB is the correct RAM amount for most ordinary users. But Chris has not told us what his processor is, and as you know, if his processor is just too old, it does not make $$ sense to add RAM to a motherboard that should simply be scrapped.

Re: i need some help on my memory load
You would definitely see a speed boost by increasing your RAM to 512MB or even more, depending on what applications you typically run, and how many are open at one time.
Applications like Office (especially Access), and PhotoShop benefit from more RAM.

Re: i need some help on my memory load
Now that we know Chris' processor, and that Chris is running 256MB RAM, there should be NO problem at all doing anything that AOL needs to do.
I don't have any first-hand experience with AOL (I have Comcast cable-Internet service).
Chris, if you could expand on your original problem, that would be good. I don't think you need to spend any money on RAM right now, although you should keep it in mind for a Xmas gift for your PC!

Re: i need some help on my memory load
I am most certainly NOT an AOL expert.
I find it hard to believe that Chris' fairly recent hardware cannot run AOL without problems!
Let's wait to hear more detail on Chris' original problem.
