Your computer has 80 gb of storage but when you reinstalled windows xp it says it only has 6 gb of storage?

There are many different option how to reinstall the windows. I believe you choose that options which allows to keep all files from the previous operating system. If you want to get 80 Gbs back you have to format the drive (before back up your data) such option you can find during the installation process.

Or you can clean the drive manually which will take a lot of time if you have your files in different folders.

Why does my computer tell me i have low memory when i have a lot of free space on my computer?

Maybe it doesn't have a lot of space. o-O Try looking around for things you are SURE you don't need. If this continues, you may need to get more memory anyway. I have had the same problem, and your problem is RAM. If your computer is more than 2 years old, odds are you have less than a gig of ram running on your computer. If you have 256 or 512 or even 1 gig of ram, id recomend up grading. Most computer towers have 2 slots for 'sticks' of ram, and its pretty cheap to buy two 2gig sticks, giving you 4 gigs of ram!!! Open your tower up and pop them in. No software installation needed. check newegg.com for good deals on cheap ram. my two sticks cost me about $89 total.

What is kept in memory while the computer is running?

The short answer is ...... Everything.

From the moment your PC starts to show you the Windows XP ( or whatever boot screen your OS has) till the moment you shut it down. Everything you do with your computer, everything that is drawn onto the screen, everything you do while using your computer is store into the Computers Memory.

The only exceptions would be when you click file and Save on lets say a Word Document. Then that document is taken from memory and written to the hard drive.

Functions of the memory manager?

Memory management functions handle the allocation and deallocationof dynamic Memory. These functions form an abstraction layer above the standard C memory management functionsmalloc, free, and realloc.This block of functions can be replaced by the user with custom code to implement a different memory management scheme. For example, an embedded system application might want to use a fixed-sized static block from which to allocate.

Why can't you change FAT partition sizes?

partition sizes can be changed. this is usually done before the operating system and data and programs are installed. some utilities can do it when the drive has information on it. when partitions are changed incorrectly, loss of the system and dat and programs can occur, get experienced help, pay for it if necessary. it is easy to make mistakes.

How does the perfomance increase if one upgrades ones ram from ddr2700 to ddr3200?

There are quite a few factors to include in order to gauge the potential performance increase from upgrading RAM. The performance will slightly increase if one were to upgrade a DDR2700 to a DDR3200.

Is RAM something referred to as involatile memory?

RAM stands for Random Access Memory. It does not specify whether it is volatile or non-volatile. RAM is just an access method just like SAM (serial access memory eg. magnetic tapes). The memory you are talking about is called primary memory of the computer which is semiconductor memory. Data can be stored in it as long as it is powered on since data is stored in the form of electric charge.

Even Hard disks are RAM because you can randomly access any data from anywhere in the HDD

Are any of the computer parts co-dependent on each other for example does a specific graphics card require a specific motherboard or the other way around?

CPU > Motherboard > RAM > I/O (Graphics, Sound, Hard drive Controller, etc. ) Generally, one chooses a CPU, then based on the CPU requirements, amotherboard then RAM and so on. However if you are looking to use a specific graphics card, you would need to find the requirements for that model. The interface needs to match or be compatible, such as PCI express. If your video card uses a PCIx16 2.0 slot, your motherboard would need to be able to support a PCIx16 2.0 card. But if your board had a PCIx16 2.1 slot, it would still work because the 2.1 revision is backwards compatible. However, cards such as a PCIx1 slot is not compatible with a PCIx16 card. There are also motherboards that support SLI orCrossfire X This is a special link that allows to or more video card to work together. Some motherboards support SLI some supportCrossfire X some support both. AMD/ATI usesCrossfire Xto link their video cards, nVidia uses SLI. These are not cross compatible, i.e. SLI between an AMD card and nVidia card. All in all, graphics cards do not require a specific motherboard, nor do motherboards require specific video cards. Also, if the motherboard has the option for SLI, and only one graphics card is used, an AMD card will usually work just fine (Crossfire Xrequires 2 or more cards) and vice versa. One more exception is the new AMD APUs. These are processors with a GPU [Graphics Processing Unit] built in (notexactly but for simplicity we'll call it a GPU). These do have requirements for specific graphics cards if the added APUbenefitis to be utilized. Not required to function, just to utilize thebenefits.To sum it up, most of the time there are no specificdependenciesother that it fits in the slot provided (AGP had different voltage tabs that required them to match however PCI = PCI, PCIx1 will fit in a PCIx[1,2,4,6,8,16] slot. One more thing to consider, nowadays they have boards with PCIx8 - mechanically x16. this means the physical slot is a x16 slot, but it acts like an 8x slot (it only has the data throughput of an x8 slot) so a x16 would fit and work butwouldn'tgo as fast. You generally see this on moterboards with multi PCIx slots. So a board might has 4 PCIx slots, (x16, x8, x4, x4) so the first slot logically would have a 16x data bus, the second logical slot would have a 8x data bus, and the last 2 would run at x4.

I hope this doesn't overwhelm you, its is a bit much for such a simple question. :) anyway hope it helps!
