laptop RAM Issue

[Mypro-D]

Hi Guys.

My GF has a rather annoying problem.
She has an HP PavillionDV6000 which honestly has given her endless problems.

Currently the RAM that is "Free" will stay on around 8-10mb max.
It has 1x 512Mb Stick and is running Vista. I guess ill have to get another stick etc. Is there any way of freeing some of this up. I have closed most of the applications running but 8mb is ludacris. Perhaps a RAM Optimizer or something??

If so any ifno would be great.

Thanks.

Running Vista off 512MB RAM is not good. I fear there is much you'll be able to do, as Vista needs at least 1GB.

Please PM me for pricing on another stick of RAM.

I have a Laptop with 1GB RAM running Vista business edition and it struggles after a while of use. Memory consumption starts off at about 500 to 600MB when booted and slowly creeps up after a couple of hours of use untill the full 1GB is consumed.

Bottom line with Vista a minimum of 2GB is recommended. Get at least another 1GB stick for 1,5GB total otherwise you will just waste your money
