Here’s a trick to reconfigure memory management. Right-click on My Computer and go to Properties. Click on Performance and note how much RAM is available. Multiply that figure by 2.5. If you have 256M of RAM, for example, you get 640.
Under the Performance tab, click on Virtual Memory and then on “Let me specify my own virtual memory settings.” Place the number you obtained in both the minimum and maximum slots and click OK. That will clear the memory every time it reaches a certain level.
Ignore any warning messages about changing the virtual memory settings. When you reboot, you will likely find that images won’t freeze and the computer won’t lock up so often.

You will have to go out and buy more RAM. Depending on the type of RAM you have (pc100; pc133; DDR; etc.) and how much you want to add (128MB; 256MB; 512MB) will determine what it will cost you. You can go to Best Buy, Comp USA, Circuit City, or find a local computer shop. If you don't know how to install it I suggest having them install it for you which may be an additional charge.
There are specifications that limit how much RAM you can put on some Motherboards. If you have the manual for your Motherboard you may want to check it out before purchasing any RAM. Beware!!! Some shops will try to dupe you into nuying another Motherboard by telling you that the RAM is maxed out and you can't add anymore. Take it to someone you can trust and have it checked out or refer to your manual. Best of Luck!

you can do one of three things to boost the performance of your system when it comes to RAM
1st you can buy more ram (if your motherboard supports it) and install it or have it installed
2nd run a program which helps optimize your RAM
3rd if you are familiar with over clocking then changing the RAM timings until you find its optimal level will help
if your graphics card has a Nvidia chipset and you're not familiar with over clocking then you can download and run "N tune" for free from this site http://www.nvidia.com/object/ntune_5.05.18.00.html
it may take up to 4 hours but it will clock your computer to a safe level.
