| 802744 | 2009-08-20 04:49:00 | A friend has a Celeron budget pc that is several years old. It has an E61ML motherboard, which I assume would take an AGP graphics card. I have replaced the 256 RAM with 1 G, and tweaked it as much as possible to increase performance - it has improved considerably but he sometimes get "not enough virtual memory" or other such warning when several programs are running. Would a cheap AGP graphics card help? The only other option is to reinstall WinXP, which we may do some day. He does not use it to play games. Thanks. |

It was probably set from the original RAM size. You can select min & max as RAM size and RAM x 1.5 (helps stop paging fragmentation) or just select system managed.. |
