    I've got 2 gigs of ram which I would have thought would be plenty but every now and again ,not frequently, I get an error message saying my computer is low on memory and needs to close some programs , I just got one there trying to run Stalker, It's not a big issue but wondered what you would do, would you upgrade to 4 gigs ?

    Have you tried increasing your virtual memory? Should help, 2 gig of RAM is fine for gaming... Info here: http://www.delete-computer-history.com/increase-virtual-memory.html

    Let me guess, its Vista. 2Gb is just about enough for gaming under Vista, I upgraded to 4Gb for the same reason.

    i was running short on disk space a while ago so turned it off and forgot about it , i've since got a new disk, i'll turn it back on so thanks a lot for the help, works out cheaper than another 2 gig of ram :)

    use the new drive for the swap file

    unless the new drive is slower ie usb or sharing an ide cable with a cd-rom
