sundevil13 Posted June 19, 2005 Author CID Share Posted June 19, 2005 sundevil13 then you probably have enough storage. Did you ever find the amount of RAM your OS says it has now? I had 256mb of ram now I have 512mb of ram Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cak46 Posted June 19, 2005 CID Share Posted June 19, 2005 With XP, thats a good amount of ram. You're hard drive space is fine. Why do you think you need more storage space? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sundevil13 Posted June 19, 2005 Author CID Share Posted June 19, 2005 you may have already posted this but how much did you even have before and how much did you put in...im just curious since my comp. amount of ram is 128mb but it shows up as 126mb lmao....still don't know why.... I had that same problem before i put my memory upgrade in because i use to have 256mb but would only show up as 254mb putting more memory in fixed it for me.

organ_shifter Posted June 19, 2005 CID Share Posted June 19, 2005 I only have that much space because i had to unistall programs i didn't necessarily wanted to unistall thats why. Just grab another hard drive and never have to uninstall again. I kept running out of space on my 40gig, so I got a bigger drive and now I keep almost everything.

organ_shifter Posted June 19, 2005 CID Share Posted June 19, 2005 cak46 thats expensive $100 for a 40 or 60GB, i just got a 200GB Maxtor DMAX 10 for $110. sundevil13 if you want a big hard drive but not expensive hard drive check out http://newegg.com you can get a 120GB for like $70. Yeah, I linked to newegg in an earlier post. They have a 200Gig SAMSUNG SpinPoint P Series drive with 8MB cache, Ultra ATA-133, 7200RPM, etc. for $93.00. It's OEM, but that's not a problem.

netmasta Posted June 19, 2005 CID Share Posted June 19, 2005 One's memory. The other is storage. Completly different things. Actually, both are storage mediums. There are a few different types of memory. Some, like computer memory, BIOS and even some cartridge based video games use volital memory. E.g.: they need a constant power source to keep the contents in memory. There is also non-volital memory which does not need constant power like digital camera memory and other devices that use memory cards or sticks.

Had one that failed after about a year or so....... Maxtor or Seagate, all the way, for me anyway......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
