memory capacity
"Broken Hill" wrote in message ... I have downloaded an accounting system onto my system. Using only the dummy data and having made very few fictitious entries, I have found the account system agonizingly slow. This prompted me to examine the memory capacity of my computer. I have put various figures down on spreadsheets and have several queries, but will just initially note:- According to General System Information and to My Computer Desktop icon I have free space of 132 GB out of a total of 143 GB. Is it relevant to ask why the system is so slow in the light of this apparent anomaly? In appreciation and anticipation of your assistance Hard drives have little to do with system speed. RAM (Random Access Memory) is the spec you should look at. At a minimum with XP you should have 500MB of RAM, 1GB would be better. XP will 'run' on as little as 128MB, but you can time performance with a calendar instead of a watch.

In the General Window that comes up, it will say how much RAM your computer has, and the size of the Processor, CPU. As previous posters have said; minimum of 512MBs, preferably 1G RAM In the old days, Hard Drive space was referred to as Secondary Memory. But, it is a confusing term; better to call it permanent storage. And the CPU should be a minimum of 2.4Ghz for satisfactory working conditions -- Mad Mike "Broken Hill" wrote: I have downloaded an accounting system onto my system.
