- How much is it in general?
- Etc, etc etc.

My System:
Microsoft Windows XP
Home Edition
Version 2002
Service Pack 2
Hewlett-Packard
Pavilion
Intel(R)
Celeron(R) CPU 2.70 GHz
2.69 GHz, 248 MB of RAM.
Only 248 MB of RAM?

Option 2 ($300 - $400):
Upgrade your computer... Well you would pay more this way than option 3... (Which still wouldn't be as good as a new one...)
Option 3 ($400 - $900):
Get a new computer... (Cheaper than upgrading you own...)
You can pick any option above or a combination...
(The Prices above are my estimates on prices...)

Buying a new computer is recommended, however seeing as how you seemingly JUST ran out of memory, you're probably better off cleaning up your startup list. Google a tutorial, disable as much shit as you can that you don't need (99% of it).
e.g. Java, iTunes Helper, iPod Helper, Google Helper, etc. can all be disabled
"My computer says I don't have anymore. " Ram doesn't decrease in memory, so it seemed like it was obvious (HardDrive)...Quote:

Ram on a laptop is about 2GB's anyway...
Moving Files and deleting temporary files will boost the speed of the computer in the mean time...
Meaning that she has too many startup services and it is taking up all her ram.Quote:
