Adjustment of the random access memory of a PC

There exist several means of optimizing the memory of a PC. In the article which follows you will find a list of simple and accessible steps, even for the neophytes.

The random access memory of PC, called RAM (Random Memory Access) in English, is one of the essential components of your computer. For much of users, it is an big unknown and most of the time, you will not have business with it, since it functions with the background of the PC.

It can happen however that, after a certain period of use without problems, that memory RAM reaches its maximum capacity, whereas it is far from making a complete use of the totality of the resources. How this problem appear does?

The user not tested will note an important difference between the random access memory installed (capacity RAM) and the real capacities of his computer: if for example you have bought PC turning under Windows XP, for which it is indicated random access memory of minimum of 128 Mo and that your computer starts to show of the signs of weakness whereas you do not use whom can of applications at the same time, he may be extremely well that you have a problem of memory PC.

Admittedly, you can address to a professional for an analysis or a test report PC, or go to buy a new bar memory PC to increase the RAM. But before deciding to you to make expenditure, there are some extremely simple steps that you can undertake yourself, who could possibly solve the problem - without you to make spend a penny. Check the first two possibilities; if the problem is still not regulated, it will undoubtedly be necessary to decide to you with an expenditure.

Problems of allowance or distribution of memory PC

They are the definitions of your operating system: often, the definitions by defect are not optimal for the use of the real resources. See whether one of the two following possibilities will be useful for you:

a) modify the allowances of your memory PC (RAM, mask) on the BIOS - the operating system Windows is made for that, inter alia!

b) download a software-tool which makes it possible to make a new distribution of the memory (it is free): http://french.icrfast.com/lv/group/view/kl58544/Mz_Ram_Booster.htm

Escape of memory PC

It also happens that the problem is what is called a “escape of memory”. There too, the principal symptom, it is a significant deceleration of the computer, at a point where that becomes really awkward.
In a similar case, there are several possible steps:
• Rebootstrapping of the RAM
• Identification and obliteration of useless software on the PC in order to reduce the system
• To check the compatibility of the RAM with the operating system
• Optimization of the memory hiding place
• Increase in the virtual memory of the PC by a modification of the parameters

Too reduced memory PC

It may be also that the quantity of random access memory installed on your PC is signal reduced to roundly be able to carry out the processes of work on the PC, since the software employed is very heavy and is conceived for a larger memory PC. Still, the solution is rather simple: it is enough to install an additional bar memory, and even several, to increase the random access memory, so that all functions without clashes.
