does any body out there know how to allocate more memory to internet explorer on an apple cube? as im having probs getting some plug ins to work and this box keeps coming up saying it needs more memory. im not very computer minded so explanations for an idiot are required please!

 

Should have put this in Computer forum

Probably means you need more RAM

 

what is ram and how do i get more of it?

 

 

look i dont know ok thats why im asking

 

Where abouts are you. I'm running a G4 cube too. IE is a bit iffy to say the least.

Start up your Mac and click on the Apple icon. You should then get a long pull down menu with the first option being " about this computer". This will tell you how much RAM you have. I'd advise sticking in an extra 256Mb. The Cube comes with 128Mb RAM as standard. Its in the form of a chip which takes 30 seconds to fit if you know what your doing. I work for macWarehouse so can source the bit you need too. I'll fit it for you too if you are local to me. I'm in North London.

Sorry scoobyboy, my was a bit patronising. I find the easiest way to stress free computing is to know what's under the bonnet and it's easy to forget that others don't quite see it the same way as me.

Possibly MACs are more reliable, hence the ability to treat them like the tools they are rather than PCs that need lots of TLC!

 

Turn on virtual memory while you're saving up for more real memory.
