ram problems...

[Guest]

hi guys i had a problem recently with installing windows 98se, my computer was not installing win98, i finally found it was one 2 of my 32 meg pc133 sticks, so i decided to buy a 256 stick of ram, i placed it in my asus p3v4x mobo and now i get problems with my ram, it seems to slowly drain, i mean i only open a few windows like IE and some other low memory programs but after like an hour my ram from 256 meg goes to 0 even when i close all my applications, can anyone help me on this one?thanks

Win NT (2k, XP) are quite a bit better about this, but I believe 2k at least still suffers from this to some extent. If you want to fix the problem, upgrade to XP ;) Also, keep in mind that just because you "close" a program doesn't mean it's (or affiliated processes) not still running in the background. You can close running processes by hitting ctrl-alt-del once, highlighting individual tasks, and clicking "end task."Max Cowgill
