Guest chirs3 Report post Posted July 25, 2003 It seems any time I run a program more complicated than Solitaire, I get that stupid "Warning: Virtual Memory Low" warning, and the computer slows to a crawl. This happens most frequently when playing games whose system requirements are FAR within range of this machine's capabilities, like, say... Diablo 2. (I've got a Pentium III 1 Ghz, 128MB Ram) Or programs like Flash MX. It can take literally MINUTES just to save or load a file I'm working on. Any idea how to make this annoying problem go away?

Guest Doyo Report post Posted July 26, 2003 Buy more memory. You can get a stick of 128 or 256 MB RAM for 30-60 dollars. With a 1GHZ processor you want at least 256 MB RAM total. I have a 1.7GHZ processor and started with 256 RAM and I would get those warnings a lot and had problems with Battlefield 1942. I went to 512 RAM and noticed a big difference and now I am at 1024MB RAM. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest chirs3 Report post Posted July 26, 2003 Well, until I can get the extra RAM I'm going with Tyler's suggestion. I upped it from 192 to 250 (Max was 300 something), and I've yet to be reduced to slug-like speed while playing, so... here's hoping it stays this way. *crosses fingers* Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
