    Not enough memory?
    « on: August 20, 2009, 01:08:33 PM »
    Back again with a different problem. This time, It's not a difficult question but a question from ignorance. I used to play an MMO game called Mabinogi.

    http://mabinogi.nexon.net/Preview/intro.htm

    My computer is very weak and old so the game freezes and is slow from time to time. I bought a graphic card that help it run better but it looks like I need more memory as well?

    So... That's the problem. I don't know anything about memory and RAM except that you stick them in the computer. I'm also worried that my computer might not be compatible with current memory whatdoyoucallthems. I'm also worried about price. So... If you have any suggestions to help me so that this old computer can run at least a game like Mabinogi (I'm not attracted to high end games like Aion), I would much appreciate it.

    Here's the computer specs. I didn't put them all up so if I'm missing any essential info, please tell me.

    RAM RAM RAM RAM RAM

    You need to upgrade your RAM big time. RAM these day's costs not much I would try atleast to get one Gig if you can.

      Would that be okay? I mean, my computer is very old. Is there like some computer requirement for current RAM?

        I looked up some info on Crucial online about my computer's memory but I'm not allowed to buy stuff online.

        But I found something similar (I think) in the bestbuy stores. Would this work with my computer and if not, could someone help find me one? :<

        http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=6578713&st=256MB%2C+184-pin+DIMM%2C+DDR+PC3200+memory+module&lp=2&type=product&cp=1&id=1077630669390

        Thank you

        i think the motherboard supports up to 1GB
        also your page file is very small
        are you tight on disk space?

          I have no idea what a page file is... Or disk space...

          And I also don't know any computer stores besides Bestbuy.

          Ok that's ok so all you need to do is buy what we call call a stick of RAM. And you want about 1gb. Can you not get online and buy at all? Have you not got a friend who can? We can help you find places to buy if your stuck  ;)

            Unfortunately, my friends don't really like to go online period and my mom is really against online purchasing.

            I would tell you my general location (Not my exact address).

            I live around Lawrenceville, Georgia.

            Thank you for your help again.
