Lately, whenever my computer takes up more than 512mb of RAM (using the second stick of RaM), my computer slows down to a crawl.
I have a gig of RAM, with the page file set to 3x that (as recommended to run the system properly), and the problem just started out of the blue. I also have an Itel P4 2.8ghz processor, 120gb SATA and 120gb IDE HDs (not running in a raid), Asus P4p800s se mobo, ATI 9800 128mb graphics card, running WinXP Pro. At the moment, I'm running iTunes, a couple windows of Firefox (version 1.0.6, because I thought it was a FF problem) and in my tray, I'm running Tuneup Memoryoptimizer (doesn't hurt to try, and its been acting like that w/out it running), ZoneAlarm, NOD32, rainlendar, Ad Muncher, LClock, and hoversnap. Before, I could run all of this, plus watch a movie and surf the internet at the same time, without my computer slowing down.
Both RAM sticks were bought within a year of each other, and are the exact same brand.
I'll see if I'm running it in dual channel config, but if not, then how can I solve this problem?
