Answer 1

No RAM is just random access memory. If you want to add to it to speed your computer up a lil check Crucial there's no place better.

Answer 2

No, any file saved on the desktop is on the hard drive.



Try freeing up some RAM:



- Running a complex screensaver? Runs in the background, eating memory. I set mine to blank.

- Go through Startup Menu. Remove anything you don't use every day. If you don't have a lot of memory, it will be worth your while to take an extra minute to load a program just when you need it.



A memory upgrade is particularly helpful for users who work with large files, have more than one program open at one time, or use memory-intensive applications such as games or graphics and video editing software.

Answer 3

The files saved on your desktop ARE saved on your hard drive. Also keep in mind that your hard drive is storage, RAM is memory. One has nothing to do with the other.

Answer 4

Anything that is on the desktop is considered the Hard Drive. Unless you have a second hard drive. And no it wont help. Google : Local Cache Memory or "Swap File".



Swap File is used when your computer doesnt have enough memory so it uses "memory" from your hard drive (Virtual Memory)

Answer 5

The simple answer is: NO. The files on your desktop are on your hard drive. They are just in your "desktop" folder and have no effect on RAM.

Answer 6

No, you won't save ANYTHING except just less shortcuts on your desktop. Any files saved on your desktop ARE saved on the Hard drive.

Answer 7

No.



Remember that RAM (memory) and hard drive space are two separate things. Memory is affected/occupied by the number of programs you have open. Hard drive space is occupied by the number of things you have saved on your computer (documents, music, pictures, programs that are installed, etc.).

Answer 8

Yep , i assume there are some courses uve put in that are too heavy, you comprehend what i'm sayin.. can be that u r low on digital memory, or as u stated ,the HD is donning out.. It cant be any difficulty reason with the help of the router :) attempt increasing your RAM up 1GB extra or much extra if u can.. and shrink the quantity of courses that load on start up... stable luck..

Answer 9

no,

try killing some processes that begin at startup.

the more icons next to your clock on lower right of toolbar,

the less ram available, you can also increase your swap file size.
