Deleting files or games aint got anything to do with your ram! Ram is where your programs run when you execute them. Dont run so much crap at once if you dont have enuff ram.

I assume you mean your trying to delete programs that are using your RAM. Go to task manager and find out what the hog(s) are. Do a google search to see if they are necessary and delete the hogs. If all hogs are necessary then your only choice is to settle with a slow computer or upgrade the RAM. I think most people have 512 to 1 gig of ram so if your limited to 256 or so then I would upgrade to a gig if your computer isn't to dated and can run the software you want.

Hi. The RAM resets every time you boot. You do not 'lose' it, you 'use' it. You can get a friend to type msconfig into the Run window and stop programs you do not need.

RAM is the space you use when you are running programs, you cant lose it, you can buy more to make your pc go faster, sounds like you need to clear your hard drive up.
