|
Answer» I have and old hp model desktop that wont hold much memory to OPERATE. I sticks all the time. Is there any way to upgrade it? Or what can I do to increase the speed?The documentation of your desktop could only hold 512 mb of RAM as maximum. Or what can I do to increase the speed?What speed do you refer here? Are there any specific problems or applications you are running that do not suits your PC? Quote Or what can I do to increase the speed?The simple answer is no. Any answer beyond that is hypothetical. Or in other words, SOMETHING that might seem to work but has not been proven and may fail. http://www.memorystock.com/memory/HewlettPackardPavilion512w.html I don't remember seeing the required information posted Just a few details, like What OS? would make answering any question about that PC a heck of a lot easier. Windows 98 will run fine on 512 meg of RAM, Windows ME likewise, but Windows XP, not so much, unless you do a lot of tweaking and tuning. If the OS was/is Windows XP, for instance, there has been a pot full of tweaks and tune-up tips listed on this and other internet forums. I've even posted them on my own WEB site. The best thing, after making sure the PC is maxed out on ram, is to shut down all the redundant services that run in the background and suck up ram and CPU time. Then minimize the programs that run from the STARTUP folder (MSCONFIG - Startup). If you don't absolutely, positively, need something running all the time, then it shouldn't be. Period! I've had very good results, getting the most out of old PC's with just 512 megs of RAM. It's do'able. Getting all the crapola off of the HARD drive and then defragmenting it, goes a long way toward system efficiency. All versions of Windows use the hard drive a lot and if it's all crapped up, and fragmented, then system efficiency suffers greatly. * I do this stuff for a living and have for 30 years, so I know from which I speak. Good Luck, |
