Re: FLASH: [OT] PC Memory

[Wayne Pennell \( Web Master \)]

First off make sure you have downloaded all the patches from the update

site.


Next make sure your ram is runnig at the same rate 80ns, 10ns, 6ns or

whatever if possible.


Next pull your other memory out then try to relieve any possible viruses

that may be residing.


Run scandisk and defrag... check your Virtual Mem settings, look at your

upper mem block to see how much you have left.


I don't use resource monitor .. but I do use msconfig  run this and make

sure you know all the progs running at startup.. some may be hoging the

upper mem block.
