Jul 3, 2008 - Vista needs a lot of memory to run smoothly. If the average person goes to best buy or something they probably bought a computer with not much memory. This is a cheap fix for those people.

Jul 3, 2008 - Guilty as charged. I thought that if I removed my Woody Allen glasses before making a video no one would notice.

Jul 3, 2008 - Although you have 2 gig of physical memory a portion of that is set aside as video memory because it is cheaper to use physical memory than dedicated faster ramdac memory. You can probably see a major increase in performance by forking out 27.99.

crazycatfguy Says:

Jul 4, 2008 - My first computer had 8 thousand bytes of memory and did nothing until I learned to write programs and get the program and the data to fit into 8 thousand bytes of memory. I upgraded the storage to a radio shack cassette recorder long before there were hard drives. This was in 84 or 85.
