Hello again, thank you both for your answers!
I bought additional RAM today - 4 x 512 MB of DDR 400 MHz PC3200, each of them the same so they could work in dual. I installed them and they work fine.
I’ve been testing my PC for about an hour now and it looks like it’s working noticeably faster. As I work through the oncoming days I’ll see if it works fine enough and without big lags. I’ll report to you soon, thanks!
@bernado - I was also suprised! I thought this amount of RAM (512 MB) is enough to just use the basic programs, I never thought that everything would work so slow. I thought that might be a virus or unwanted program, which “eats” memory for own purpose or something like that.
I have no need to change my disc, sometimes I’m out of space, but then I do some cleaning and uninstall unnecessary programs and delete wastes, this gives me few extra GB to meet my needs. I just don’t want to invest more money in that old PC, maybe next year I’ll buy a completely new and fast PC. But now I just have to work on that.
If my page file is going to be this high, maybe I should set the page file limits myself?
