Re: Memory tools
Well I ran (although deathmarched would be a more accurate description) Everest last night. Very useful bit of software! 2.5Hrs later(yes it was that slow!), after my computer finally managed to load and print a report for me, got lots of useful info. I just need some help with the translation though. Not sure what to look at, but here's a few stats for ya:
Physical Memory:
Total 223 MB
Used 169 MB
Free 53 MB
Utilization 76 %
Swap Space:
Total 1669 MB
Used 92 MB
Free 1576 MB
Utilization 6 %
Virtual Memory:
Total 1892 MB
Used 262 MB
Free 1630 MB
Utilization 14 %
Benchmark test:
Mem latency 211.8 ns
Mem write 112 Mb/s
Mem read 406 Mb/s
Clutching at straws, but updating my BIOS wouldn't help I guess (currently 1998, V4.51PG Pheonix tech). Just thinking in terms of boot speed really.
Basically I mainly need comp for internet, word processing and some graphics software.
As I say this is all a learning curve to me at the moment. Any pearls of wisdom (not the Norman kind).
