Hi,

My PC needs a upgrade,but ive not got round to doing it yet
With all the stuff i have i think 128mb isnt enough(broadband,dvd writer,cdrw ,2 H/D's etc etc).

On looking at the system summary thing on windows ME it says i have 127mb of total physical memory,But Available physical memory is only 4.8 mb????

is this right???
Its just that my pc has been getting slower and slower over the last few months?

stick another 128mb in and take it up to 256Mb, I guess that with 128Mb it is spending a lot of time paging memory to disk..

Windows me is awful at memory management. Get Windows XP. IMHO you need 512mb of ram to run XP & most applications nowadays.
