Former MemberFormer Member Posts: 1,876,323 The Mix Honorary Guru
Im attempting to install a program, ive came to a message that says that the minimum system requirements are 512 of ram or more, they recommend i upgrade or adjust my system to meet these requirements.


When i right click on my computer i can see it says Intel celeron processor, 1.10 GHz, 384 MB of RAM

Please does anyone know how i can adjust my system accordingly.

Thanks :)

    You're lacking physical memory. Unless you've set your on-board graphics to use a huge amount(not likely, given the spec), you're going to end up adding more memory.

    Use the memory advisor tool to see whether you can add any more, and at what cost.

    Increase your virtual memory. It may help.

    Who in their right mind would incorporate onboard graphics taking 128MB on a machine that only has 512MB in the first place?

    For me, it's 4GB + dedicated HD 4820 :-)
