Your Computer is trying to tell you something
Remember that new computer you got a few years back? It probably had about 512MB of RAM and the tech said you'd be just fine. It was true then, but just not anymore. That aging computer is getting choked to death right in front of your eyes. Why is your system getting choked? Let me explain.

Programs use memory (also known as RAM, didn't you notice the snappy headline?) For example, Adobe Acrobat, iTunes, Flash Player, Anti-Virus, etc all NEED a minimum amount of memory just to run. Think about your big clunky computer printer. It NEEDS a certain amount of desk space just to survive on your environment. There is a MINIMUM requirement, which is just barely enough desk space space to co-habitate, and there is a RECOMMENDED amount, which is a little extra desk space to load paper, access the rear plugs,  etc. Now lets say that every year, you had to get a new printer and each printer was larger than the last, by almost half. Do you see how much of your desk space would be crowded? The solution is to get a bigger desk.

Programs are no different. Let's take a few common programs most people have and see what they needed THEN and what they need NOW.

Adobe Acrobat Version 4.0 needed 32MB of RAM. Adobe Acrobat Version 10 needs 256MB.
Norton Antivirus 2004 needed 32MB of RAM. Norton Antivirus 2010 needs 256MB of RAM.

These are two examples. That 512MB computer that you have is getting sliced in half using just ONE of the two products above. Think about how many programs you have in your system and how many updates you have done over the years. Lack of RAM is probably the biggest reason your computer is slow and has gotten gradually slower over time. It is getting choked. Upgrade your memory.

How do you tell how much you have?
Simple, RIGHT click your My Computer Icon and select properties (either Vista or XP). Your RAM will be displayed on this screen.

How much should I have?
Windows Vista machines should have 2GB Minimum.
Windows XP Machines should have 1GB Minimum with 2-3GB being ideal for XP. XP with 2-3GB FLIES!
XP Systems with 256MB or 512MB need to be upgraded.
