I have a brand new Toshiba Satellite A85-S107. 40 gig harddrive. 1.4
GHz processor. 256 megs ram.
A system check using MSinfo32 indicates that I only have 16 megs of
available physical memory and only about half of the 512 mb virtual
memory available. The shared video card takes the RAM down to 191
megs. Even when I disable every single file under Startup (msconfig)
it only raises the available memory to about 26 mb. So, with virtually
nothing running I have about a 75 percent memory load. Can this
possibly all be attributed to Windows XP?
I realize there are other processes running in the background but I am
not sure how and what to do about them. And virtualy all of them seems
to be windows files. Should I just add another 256 mb of ram and not
worry about it?
Comments and suggests would be apprecaited.
Thanks,
