Hey Group
I'm having trouble with Seamonkey freezing my computer
Windows XP, right?
... My computer is running a AMD Athalon XP 2.1Ghz with 512 meg of DDR
PC2100 ram, Display Adapter VIA/S3G UniChrome IGP integrated on
motherboard.
Add more ram! At least get it up to 1 GB.
At today's prices, I wouldn't stop there. Windows love RAM :(
Check the task manager while all your stuff is going on and see how much
free ram you have .. and how deep into the swap file you are.
That's the true check. If your machine is swapping heavily, good night!
Hi Guys
Thanks Mark & Beau, well I had just got the wife's approval to use some
of our tax return money to buy some more ram anyway. I ran task manager,
ran the same scenario and it showed that when I had Farmville and the
email open and when the CPU was hitting 100% I was 561meg deep into the
swap file so I guess I'll max it out with 2 gig. The motherboard is a
MSI KM400 MS-7061 and will take up to 2 gig of PC3200. Sorry Bill, it
not that I don't appreciate the offer but I figure I might as well take
it to the max while I have the wife's approval and that way I will have
a warranty to fall back to if anything happens to the ram during
shipping. Now If I can just find who it was online the other day that
had a 2gig upgrade package of DDR for $63.00USD. One thing I did just
check and change for the time being was my swap file initial size, I had
it set at 4096 with max also at 4096, I now have the initial set at 512
with max still at 4096 and it seems to allow the CPU to drop back to
around 50% much quicker than it did with both at 4096. Thanks again, I
really didn't think it was Seamonkey that was the problem but wasn't sure.
