@cabal Prolleh the better processor. I only tend to run into memory issues when trying to run far too many memory-intensive applications at once. Definitely want to at least double my RAM to get more overhead, but for now it's alright.

I'm starting to hate my computer, with it's 1gb ram that barely supports google chrome, to my horse manure graphics card that plays everything from 10 years ago on minimum settings.
-
@miloth Ouch. My laptop struggles with some of my academic software with 4gb ram. 1gb must be painful.
-
@eaglehooves It's 1gb, but my computer recognizes it as 800mb or so.
-
@miloth I've got one of those at home. I'm about ready to 'fix' it with a blowtorch.

@rainkyou What kind of computer are you on?
-
@eaglehooves hmm? what KIND? explain yourself!
-
@cabal I've been thinking about upgrading my computer for a while, but lately I've been strapped on money. It's a miracle I can do anything with 1gig. Of course I do receive a popup every now and then saying The computer is low on memory.
-
@rainkyou Just curious what make/model, if you're willing to share. I work with a decent number of computers, and some brands and lines have reputations. Dells seem to be like tanks, especially the business ones. That desktop I want to 'fix' is 8-9 years old I think, and it just won't die already, and my parents won't let me trash it for as long as it still runs.
-
@eaglehooves Oh, it is a dell and a desktop
-
@colfax I might be able to help with that in a week or so. I've got one that I think is filled with bad sectors I need to test.
-
@miloth go to goodwill or something and just buy a computer there and take the RAM out of it, or just use the computer you bought there, most of them are fairly decent computers
-
@macpony55 >Computers at Good will. Since when did they have computers? But I can't just pull out any old RAM, it has to fit, and be a drr2.
-
@miloth you may get lucky, or you could just take a screwdriver into goodwill and check for yourself, but I've gotten desktops at stores like that for 3 bucks and they still worked fine, I actually pulled the ram out of one and looked at the price and I could sell that 1 RAM of 4 in the computer for the same price I bought it for
-
@macpony55 ah, okay. I'm getting desperate for more ram, and a better graphics card, that the might be my only chance, or Christmas, but i'm not going to wait for that.

@cabal *looks at his computer with 2 gigs of RAM* *looks at his Windows 7* *looks at his ability to do pretty much everything perfectly smoothly* wat?
-
@rpb3000 Haha what?? i have 4 GB of RAM and Windows 7 and mine runs kiwity. what processor you got?
-

-
