Alot of harddrive activity. When a computer runs out of ram memory, it uses the harddrive as memory.
For Win95/98/ME recommended is 512mb.
For Win XP recommended is 1gb at least.
For Win Vista recommended is around 2gb.

it depends on what applications you want to use. the requirements of windows XP and windows 2000 are very low. XP only recommends 128MB of memory if you run basically 1 program at a time. 1GB is becoming the standard now for all computers. If you have less than 1GB of memory, it may be worth upgrading.

C'mon Frank. We're supposed to guess what your setup is??? Not likely. Many symptoms are the same, so it helps if you provide some information to us.

it will tell you you automatically when you are low on memory, which in today's terms means single digits of MB, like under 100MB.
