Does anyone else find that LimeWire makes your computer really slow?
 

It seems to do with mine. I've just uninstalled it and while i did my computer picked up speed. Must use up alot of cources somehow

It's slows my computer right down and my computer is

AMD Athlon(tm) XP 2000+
1.67GHZ
256 MB of RAM

Is that why?

your RAM is a bit on the low side. Especially when it is sdram, another 256Mb strip would increase performance a lot.

I can't upgrade it just to use LimeWire though :(

I could afford that but i aint sure how i'd use the stick? Is it like one of those memory sticks you can use in the USB port?

If you do not know how to add memory to your PC, I think you are in trouble because you will either have to get a technician, who will be expensive, or somebody who knows something about computers.

If you still have your PC manual, then this will tell you what kind of memory your PC uses, e.g. SDRAM, DIMM, etc. and should give you a good indication of what you should buy to perform your upgrade.

I would also agree with RaaF and Peerless, 256MB of ram is not sufficient to run a (XP) windows PC nowadays, 512MB really is the minimum.

I dont know how, but my brother will. He is the person who built my PC so he should know.
I didn't know you needed a minimum of 512MB for Win XP. I''m sure it said the minimun of ram were 256. I'll ask my bro about it anyway, and if he knows how to add a memory stick, i'll buy one and then he can do it.

Computer Memory
 

Just to emphasise the point about PC memory, my computer contains 512 MB of ram, which was fine when I bought it back in October 2002.

Now that I have expanded my PC with more hardware, software and, especially, enhanced my firewall with the Agnis block list 512MB just isn't cutting it anymore.

So I am seriously considering upgrading my (Win XP SP1) PC’s memory to 1GB (1024 MB).
