    How much memory do I need for Vista 32 bit?

    It is vista home premium. When my memory use goes over 51%, my PC starts

    messing up. I have 2 GB of memory. Is anyone elses PC like that? I have an

    Athlon X2 4000+, 2 core, hyper transfer processer. I read that 4 GB of

    memory only works with Vista 64 bit.

    Thanks

    I have 1.5 gig and it works alright with Vista. Maybe your memory isn't too stable, you should try memtest.

    I tried memtest86 v1.70. I did 2 passes. It showed no errors.

    Could it be my processer is weak?

    Thank you

    Unlikely I'm "only" using a Pentium 4.

    What graphics card do you have?

    If its integrated it will use some of your 2Gb RAM.

    Hi veronica

    With that PC of yours everything (except games) should be real fast and trouble free. Maybe you're using software thats causing a memory leak over time ?

    Hi
    I am not a gamer. My amount of memory used goes up, the longer my PC is on.

    Thanks for replying.
