Installing more ram will make my computer Windows XP go faster?

original title: windows xp
Good so I have a few things.

1. I have a dell Dimension 3000 that hang out around 256 mb of ram and a 70-80 GB hard drive, I use it only for a camera of security around the House, but now the computer is so slow, that I want to upgrade.

2. I would like to ask a few more ram in it, at least 2 GB, will make that it go faster?

3. I also might want to replace the hard drive, it makes not go faster, and I have to reinstall the OS?

4 will be one of this affect my security camera because the dimension has these ports inside the motherboard that allows to add stuff to it and I plug this card of mother of security camera and my friend helped me to implement, he moved so that he can not help me more. I was wondering, if replaceing the drive and ram will make my pc faster and still be able to use my camera to safety without any reinstallation

Thank you!

Note: Some of these old dell computers have only a drive Bay and the data cable is short and has only one connector for the hard drive. If this is the case and you plan to go XP disk a larger and faster hard you will need a USB external drive to store the backup Image file. Pull the old drive, use the emergency recovery CD to restore the new disk.

Also based on time, this model has been sold by Dell, the chances are very high that the biggest hard drive you can install is a disk of 120 GB PATA/IDE BIOS will not support 48-bit LBA (disks more 1237 GB in size).

Additional memory - use the Crucial utility "system scan": http://www.crucial.com/

In short the additional memory (1 GB) and a pilot of faster (7200 RPM) will improve performance a bit. But this is an older system, so don't expect miricals.

    Shut down the laptop, remove the battery and unplug the AC adapter.
    Turn the phone around, you can see on the side of buttom. Remove the cache memory that is fixed by 2 screws. Remove the screws and cover, then you can see the RAM slots.

  • The process APPNOS and APPTS are devouring my RAM and make my computer very slow.

    Hello, I have an iMac (late 2012) 2.7 Ghz intel core i5 with 8 GB of RAM. Lately, my computer has been extremely slow and almost unusable for the last 4 days. After repeatedly to close the market and stop, I finally could open the activity monitor after about 25 minutes of loading. I was shocked to see that the process APPNOS and APPTS consumed 13 GB of RAM each, with a total of 27 GB of RAM used even if my computer has only 8 GB of RAM. I left the two processes of strength and my computer still worked once, normal, but these processes continue to pour every time my computer sleeps. I hope that someone knows what these processes are and how they arise or eat more RAM that I stop.

    For what it's worth, update macOS Sierra from El Capitan did nothing.

    Thank you

  • Install more RAM DDR3

    I recently bought a HP Pavilion n207sa 15 with 4 GB of DDR3 RAM, however, I would like to install more.

    I scanned my laptop on Crucial and he told me that I have 2 slots. I had a quick glance and I only see one. I don't know if it's just being stupid or something, but I can't find another.

    Can someone tell me if I do or not please? Also if I just 1, is that with the purchase of an 8 GB on its own? But then, I feel that my 4 GB does no use and wasted. Can someone please solve my problem? Thank you.

    Not because they never represent something different. None of the documentation related to this model will say it has 2 memory slots or specify a max memory longer than 8 gigs.

    I have a HP Pavillion laptop and just today I tried to turn it on and it gets to the login screen, I type my password and then... nothing.  He goes to a space where I can see the mouse, but there is nothing to click on the screen.  CTRL-Alt-Del brings up to the window manager of Out-Task-lock switch user-sign and I can use one of these, but that's all.  She will not continue by windows.  Any suggestions?  I've only had the laptop for three months.

  • How to make my computer Windows 8?

    Original title: Windows 8 sucks and I'm held captive!

    I've updated since Vista, which came on my computer, Windows 8 with an upgrade online for amazingly cheap, or so I thought.  I wouldn't pay a penny for it now that I know IT DOES NOT WORK.  My computer cannot do the heads or tails out of it either and his computer company is Win-8 took off and going back to Win - 7, as well as several other companies do.  I'll be happy with anything other than 8.  I am a home based medical transcriptionist and can't get more than 10% of my daily work as Win - 8 REALLY SUCKS!  Please help me, help me, HELP me...


    I want to get this monster from my computer and need help to do this.  I hope that I will be able to access all that was lost after the God dang 'upgrade '.  I think I will buy a Mac because it will give me less stress.  I have leukemia and I no longer need this system ugly sucky.  In fact, I hate it, if you can hate a computer system.  Help me, help me, I'M dying AND cannot go DOWN THIS SUCKER!

    Why should you buy adding software in order to avoid an unnecessary learning curve that Microsoft imposed on you? Who never come with this nightmare really miss read the average PC user

    Why do you buy a portable Windows 8 in any case if you don't like it?

  • installed more ram in dell xps 600. BIOS sees it, but windows is not. I need to adjust something in windows

    See above

    You did not forget how much RAM to that you upgraded, or the type of RAM you have installed, but my best guess is that you have upgraded your XPS system for somewhere between 4 and 8Gbs of DDR2-800 ram modules.

    32 - bit XP operating system will see 4 GB of RAM and is only able to treat somewhere around 3.2 GB due to overhead and other material considerations. Need an operating system to 64-bit like Windows 7 Medelin address anything larger than 4 GB.

  • More RAM will increase the speed?

    Our iMac with an Intel Core 2 Duo 3.06 Ghz and 4 GB of RAM, running OS 10.10.5 slowed way. If both users are online, the second user account takes forever to initialize.

    We have two empty RAM slots and wonder if the additional RAM would ease the problem. Or do we need a newer, faster processor, which I assume means a new computer.

    Paul B.

    Hi Paul, more than RAM we're crazy. But I don't think it's the whole issue. Download and run EtreCheck, created by one of his own assistants here in CSA. It is a diagnostic tool that is very useful for us to find problems. It will also give us additional specifications on your Mac. After his execution after the logfile here.

  • HP Pavilion Notebook 15-199sa: can I install more RAM and an SSD at the same time?

    Hello

    I have a HP Pavilion Notebook 15-p199sa I would like to be updated by installing an additional 8 GB of RAM and an SSD.

    I could do both at the same time, or it would be more advisable to do one at a time?

    Usually, I'd do one at a time, but take it apart the laptop and remove the motherboard are quite a job! I have a Ph D in breaking things and I know that if I take the laptop part twice then nothing good will come of it.

    I was considering also put the current HARD disk in the optical drive, but somewhere in the 20 pages of comments to this thread deals UK it is written the header on the motherboard for the DVD player is only SATA I - someone has a I experience to put a HDD in SATA optical drive? (or did someone knows if the header is really SATA I - the manual does not say).

    Otherwise, I could put the existing 1.5 TB of HARD drive in an external enclosure and connect it to a USB 3.0 port. The manual says to connect external drives to these ports is OK but it does not have all the features - would it be a good idea to use a powered USB 3.0 hub or a powered external case? (rather than using the bus power).

    Uh, that's all for now, I think

    John latter

    Hello

    Nothing prevents you to do both at the same time. I have half a dozen old records HARD in USB 3.0, USB 2.0 external enclosures and they work fine. They work on all of my laptops and more comfort than those who have power supplies (much smaller than now).

    Kind regards.

I've done several reboots, power disconnects and reboots and driver installs / updates, removing, re - install etc...

    HP Print/SCan doctor reports that it solves the problem, but it happens. Problem continues to exist.

    Hi Griso8V,

    The pictures help, thank you! Please check this page for the steps fix your connection scanning: Scanner network connection is lost (Windows).

    I realize that you already have some of these steps, but please follow all the steps in the order presented here.

    When you reinstall the software, be sure to choose the full software and driver. If you are installing the base driver, you will not be able to scan to PC on the printer control panel.

  • Which allows more Ram on my PC with Windows 7 32 bit...

    8 GB of Ram, I installed on my Dell 530, I'm on Windows 7 32 bit and I only see 4 GB running on my system, how can I enable others "Ram cards, I have 2x1GB DDR2 cards installed?

    You can't, at least not with the Windows 32-bit operating systems.

    A 32-bit Windows operating system can address only a total of 4 GB of memory, and a part of this total includes the resources of the motherboard.

    Your only option is to move to a 64-bit Windows operating system, if you want to use more than 4 GB...

    I answer largely your kind response in the hope someone else, like me not so computer literate/smart,

    will not loose several days to fix this problem.

    To contact Adobe cat may also not constantly, so we were just waiting and waiting.

    Adobe should really improve their support, but perhaps that they are very interested not because they may prefer to sell you their CLOUD solution.
