The best part of a 256mb stick of RAM can easily be wasted by a badly maintained PC.

to the forum .you are quite right in what you say,but IMO the OP is not running adequate quantity fo ram to run windows and 1 or 2 apps. Maybe if a static page file was used where max and min sizes are same might help as to reduce fragmentation of page file. A good visit to msconfig and stop most start up apps but I still think the result will be similar. 256 meg extra ram will make all the difference here as it will reduce page file usage and run a whole lot sweeter
