| 653325 | 2008-03-27 09:54:00 | Hi, I just redid my computer - its a P3 600Mhz with 320MB laptop running windows 2000. It is much faster after a format and redone. I don't have .Net Framework installed or Sun Java or Photoshop. I have the Sp4 for my OS and the security updates. What are the ways of improving the speed? 320MB is the max capacity on my laptop for RAM. I thought of ridding Firefox and using IE 6 (latest version on windows 2000). Ridding Zonelarm given that it takes 5MB and vmon.exe of ZA too takes 12MB. Any alternative for ZA? I am now using version 6.4 Media Player, does version 7 take much more memory? 6.4 right now takes 1.7MB. Is version 7 with the new interface (web integrated) resource hungry? At the moment I have ~ 150MB free for memory. Running IE without MSN Messenger, AVG doesn't appear to take up much ... |

| 653326 | 2008-03-27 10:00:00 | I just found that each IE window increases the RAM needed. Sooo... is F/F more hungry or about the same? I opened two webpage and each session took up 20MB .. ie., 40MB.... How much available RAM should I aim for? |
