If you have replaced the system drive, you have to install an operating system. If you just have added a drive, you need to make sure that the operating system recognized the drive (you can check it the Drive management, Start->Control Panel->Administrative Tools->Computer Management->Disk Management). In the Disk Management window you can create partitions and logical drives.

After you installed more RAM you have to make sure that your operating system can support that amount. Windows XP, Vista... x32 cannot support more than 3.7Gbs, Windows Xp, Vista and so on x64 can support I believe as much as 64Gbs of RAM. You have to check that memory recognized by the system. You can check in the BIOS or in the System window (Win+Pause).

Is it possible to use a computer hard drive on a PlayStation 3 so you can have more memory?

You can use a hard drive from a laptop, but a normal size computer hard drive will not fit. I"m not sure how to install or format the drive, but do an internet search on "PS3 forums" and you will find the official PS3 forums. Go digging there and you will find how to get this done.


What are the features of logical and physical memory?

physical memory is the actual sticks of memory that you put inside your computer. it is generally faster than logical memory. logical memory is similar to physical memory except imagine all the data on the memory chips on a file in your hard drive. it is usually much slower than physical memory, and it can even damage your hard drive if used in excess. (read/write times increase so the hard drive disk heads have to move faster/more often which puts more wear and tear on the hard drive)

Will your computer run slow if the memory is full?

Your computer will have more issues when you hard rive is near full as it uses something called virtual memory. This memory is really hard drive space that the systems uses like CPU memory. The computer will be spending more time looking around your drive and finding space then doing work you want. Two ways to cure this is to get a larger drive or more memory.

What memory stored in the hard drive?

Hard-drives are not memory as such, they are storage devices. However, the contents of RAM (Random Access Memory) are stored on the hard drive in the form of one or more paging files, allowing the operating system to realise more RAM than physically exists (virtual memory). The contents of RAM are also stored on the hard drive when the computer enters hibernation mode. Aside from that, hard-drives provide long-term storage of programs and files that can be loaded into memory as and when required.
