| 62355 | 2002-07-14 05:25:00 | Hi, I've just upgraded from: K6/300, 128MB, NVidia Vanta graphics, Genius sound card and ISA modem to: Duron 1 . 1G, 256MB Corsair PC2100 DDR RAM, on a Gigabyte 7VKML with onboard graphics, sound and network . Running the same s/ware as before . I keep getting 'The computer has run out of memory to run application' errors which is very strange considering things ran on the old setup no probs . I've installed a memory utility trial program (WinRAM-Booster Pro) which shows the memory usage . It shows plenty of free memory when I get the errors although the gigabyte utility sometimes has shown low physical memory . Physical memory showing on the Gibabyte utility is 228480KB . I've got Windows set to control memory under Control Panel-System . Another interesting consideration is that at the shown rate of memory usage, my old system would have locked up frequently as it ran out of memory - sure I got the odd blue screen of death or other error, but not THAT often . Today I copied ~250MB of files from one HDD to another, that chewed up memory and used about 80-90% of the available memory . A RAM optimisation from WinRam brought it straight back down to about 15-20% usage . Again, I did this copying of my data files occasionally on the old setup, no probs . Any ideas why this memory hole has developed, or what I can do plug it back up again???? cheers Megan :-) |
