Help! How to get more memory?

My computer always indicates a not enough space on OS C.  Have done disk clean up, deleted files and programs, but said still is not enough memory.  What can I do else?  Please instruct me in layman's terms, as I am not the most computer.  Thanks in advance for any help.

Space and memory are two different things.

Space vs memory explanation

When it comes to a computer, there are so many computer terms like MHz, RAM etc that people may find confusing, gigabytes. Having a better understanding of some of these terms can help you feel more comfortable using your computer and ultimately get more out of him.

A lot of people I talk to seem to be apologetic about their lack of knowledge. It's too bad people feel this way. they shouldn't really. What I tell them is that, although they do not know as much as I do on computers, there is nothing wrong with that, and they probably know a lot of other things that I don't know much.

What you need is someone who takes the time to explain things in a way that makes sense.

A term many people confuse memory or RAM and hard disk storage space is. RAM stands for Random Access Memory (don't worry, you do not need to remind that!).

It's a temporary workspace, the computer uses to get the job done, which gets emptied when the computer is turned off.

Think of it as a work bench or table. You have a project that you are working on and do you your project on the bench and when you're done, you delete it off the coast.

The disc is the main place of your computer uses to store information. It looks like a rectangular metal box containing a hard drive (as opposed to something like a CD player where you can remove the drive).

It's a disc inside the drive that stores everything on your computer - each photo, each music file, every e-mail and every Word document. Not only that, but Windows or Mac OS X, the operating system that makes the computer run.

To continue our analogy, think of it as a set of shelves where you store tools or materials for your project when you want to work on something, you choose the things you need on the shelves, put them on the bench and working on the project.

It of like when you run a program; the computer to load the program from the hard disk in memory (the temporary workspace).

So more shelves, plus you can store - that is to say programs more can you install, the more songs or photos or videos, you can save on your computer.

Most people with a computer in the last years are tougher than they will ever use. Few people ever the charging, unless they hold a large number of large files such as audio files or images or video files in particular.

A picture is worth a thousand words, they say. If it's true, video is worth at least 1 million words and files can be that much bigger!

If someone tells you that you have need of more memory, or your computer gives you an error to be low on memory, this usually means that you don't have enough RAM. This can significantly slow down your computer.

Consider the idea of bench again: If your bench is very small, you can't hold it need make your work, so you are constantly losing time move a piece of the project to the bench to make room for the next piece... If you really work at all.

The RAM and disk space are measured with the same terms: bytes, kilobytes (KB), megabytes (MB), gigabytes (GB), with newer drives even being measured in tera-bytes (to). As the RAM and hard drives are measured in the same way, it is perhaps one of the reasons people are confusing the two terms.

You don't need to understand exactly what these terms mean, but understand that each of them is essentially a thousand times larger than the previous. So a kilobyte is 1,000 times the size of a byte, a megabyte is 1000 times larger than a kilobyte, a gigabyte is thousand times later than that and so on.

The reason you buy a computer, one that has a lot of RAM and two or three years respect and all of a sudden someone tells you that you don't have enough memory, because every year, size average programmes and the amount of memory they need, expands.

It's as if the tools you use on your Workbench continue to grow each year in order to have afterwards get a larger bench.

If your computer seems to work more slowly recently, or if you have had bizarre mistakes, it could be that you need to upgrade your memory. This is not always the source of these problems, but RAM is cheap these days and add to what your computer can add life to your Mac or PC.

I hope that this clears up the meaning of these terms the basic computer for you and makes much more sense than before! To learn more about the RAM and memory, read related article that explains how RAM affects the speed of a computerand more.

  • I don't have the money to buy more ram, how to remove programs to get more memory and how do I know which programs remove

    I need of more memory, I can't afford to buy it, how to remove stuff to create more memory and how do I know what programs are ok to remove

    I think you're confusing terms and certainly confuse us.

    RAM/memory (they are identical) is the memory on the computer that is used by programs running as a temporary store for data.  How to reduce the amount of memory used is to close unnecessary programs or does not work as much.  for example close the browser and your e-mail so that the execution of Word program.  You do not need to uninstall programs, run just not, to save memory.

    IF you talk about not having enough disk space to store your programs and data, then the way to increase the free space on the disc IS to uninstall unnecessary programs - only you can decide what programs you don't need.  One way to increase disk space is to make sure you have emptied your Recycle Bin to delete the old data files, you don't want to, and uninstall programs.

    You need to tell us exactly what error messages you get so that we can determine what your problem is.

  • How can I get more memory? Should I go through Dell (it is a Dell computer)? I get the message too low virtual memory.

    I get the message "out of virtual memory"... In order to buy more memory, can I contact Dell for this (there is a Dell computer)?

    "Out of virtual memory" has nothing to do with the amount of physical RAM you have installed.  These errors are caused by incompatible programs, too little free capacity available on the hard drive, correctly configured virtual memory (you set it so Windows automatically manages) or sometimes even by a severely fragmented hard disk partition.

    My memory in my Equium A200 - 15I SERIES is at MAX, what is.

    How it came to new 2x1GB can these be removed and install more memory

    Hey hun01,

    I searched a bit using Google and the Equium A200-15I is equipped with an Intel 943GML chipset and this means that the laptop can use up to 2 GB of RAM (2 x 1 GB modules).
    If your laptop is already equipped with two 1 GB modules you can t upgrade it and if not you PC2-5300 modules to upgrade your laptop.

    In addition, you should also check the user manual where you can find additional information about it.

    The speed of the SD cards depends on the model of SD card.

  • How to get more space to store data

    Hello

    I am newbie to ESXi 4.1. Recently I setup an ESXi 4.1 with the data store total 267 GB (146GBx3, RAID5), created 1 Win2008 Std 64 bit thick provisioned VM size 180 GB of disk & partition as C:\80GB, D:\100GB under Win2008, currently only 20,57 GB free data store space.

    (1) I try to create an another VM Win2008 standard 64-bit using typical/custom but max only allow 40 GB, how to get about 100 GB? (C:\60GB, D:\40GB)

    2) can I change existing VM thick to thin to follow steps of http://www.righteoushack.net/?p=419? what a C:\80GB, D:\100GB under Win2008? would it automatically resize so? or can I reduce existing 180 provided thick GB?

    (3) why there are 3 hard files created for a single virtual machine? how hard to remove? (see photo datastore.jpg)

    (4) as the system comes with Quard core 6 GB RAM & CPU, existing VM use 2 CPU4 GB of RAM, can I put a new virtual machine to use 2CPU4 GB RAM?

    Sorry, so many questions.

    Thank you and best regards,
