I have a P3 450mhz Win 98 with 64 mb ram which regularly seems sluggish running games that are ostensibly well within its capabilities. My sytem resources rarely get above 75% and then only after I have shut down some systems.
Firstly, how can I achieve higher resource levels?
(My Norton system doctor software says that on boot-up I have 250 ish programmes running, is that reasonable???)
And secondly to improve the sluggishness (see above)I would like to insert more RAM (wouldn't we all oo-er missus!) But can I find out the type of memory to use without opening the case and if I have to open the case what do I look for on the current memory chips. Or will it be a simple case of taking the chips to a supplier and asking for a 128/256 mb version???
Thanking you in anticipation.
