I'd agree... going from 128MB RAM to even 192MB RAM will more than double your free RAM, in effect. BUT, your the 128MB is VIDEO RAM, not main memory!

The cheapest possible computer upgrade is to buy some used RAM on EBAY.

Also, when you overflow virtual memory, everything slows to a crawl while Windows extends VM on your hard drive... when you reboot, you go back to your old size VM. I set my VM to four times the size of my RAM, to be savfe...

Your 1GB RAM should be fine.
