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.
Newegg.com $55 of 2x1GB PC2 5300 desktop (240 pin) from Corsair. I
don't see 2GB SIMMS in desktop, laptop is 240 pin, server is buffered.
If your wife is in a really good mood they have a $400 laptop with
fast CPU and 3GB on the home page. ;-)
Thanks for the info Bill but this antique will only handle 184-pin DIMM
• DDR PC3200 • CL=3 • Unbuffered • NON-ECC • DDR400 • 2.6V • 128Meg x 64
ram that's getting pretty pricey in it's old age like good wine I guess.
If you could give me some advice on which brand of this type to buy it
would be greatly appreciated and as far as the wife, well she' pi$$ed at
me now so I'll be lucky to get this.

Big Bill
