The point of partitioning a hard drive is secure data storage. I did this on my old computer when I had to reformat the operating system quite frequently because of viruses and spyware. Here's the reason why. Creating two partitions on one hard drive will cause the hard drive to act like two separate disks. On one side is all of your data while the other side contains the OS. If your OS crashes, you can do a completely clean install of the operating system, even with formatting which permemently erases all data. However, all your personal files are stored on the other half which is left untouched. If you do a lot of modifications to your operating system, this is not a bad idea to do. However, NTFS disks are less eficient when they are partitioned. It's usually a better idea to use two separate physical hard drives.
1. What operating system are you running? You might need to run a newer version of the O.S. to make that particular application work. 2. How much RAM do you have? You might just need to add more memory. It's relatively easy and inexpensive. 3. Do you have enough VIRTUAL memory? Virtual memory is just disk space that has been set-aside to hold anything that doesn't fit in RAM. Use your command line ( dos prompt ) to run the memory command mem /c followed by mem /p and then mem /d Take note of all running programs. Also, look into your prgram manager Crtl Alt Del to find running programs. Then kill one program at a time and rerun your program to see what program is causing you problems. Most likely, your problem comes from a security or virus program. Once you identified the program that is being unkind, contact the company website for updates and helps. Do not surf the internet without your firewall, security and virus programs running.
Why does your computer keep saying this game is out of memory?
The computer probably keeps saying that the game is out of memory because the amount of space that your computer has allocated on the hard drive for that game has been filled.
You will most likely be able to find away to allocate more memory space to the game you are playing by watching a 'How To' video on YouTube.
What is boot strapping and where does the boot strap programm reside in a memory?
There are several meanings of Boot Strapping, but you mentioned a memory I will assume that you are talking about booting an operating system.
Boot Strapping is technique where simple computer programs load and runs more complex programs.
For example trying load operating system:
BIOS (Basic Input Output System) - is the simple computer program.
Boot Loader (Software that loads actual operating system) - is more complex software.
When you press "Turn On" button on your computer BIOStakes action and starts testing hardware after that it looks in the first boot device for the first sector of the disk. One sector is 512 bytes long and here should be your code that BIOS will execute, in our case it is our Boot Loader. This first sector is called MBR (Master Boot Record) or VBR (Volume Boot Record) (depends on the structure on the first sector) and it should have 0xAA55 bytes on the end or BIOS will return error.
After this our Boot Loader is now simple program which loads even more complex one, operating system.
If you are throwing away an old computer can you still use its memory on a new computer?
Absolutely. Considering your new computer's motherboard supports the same type of ram. I'm assuming you have a ddr2 ram compatible computer and that your purchasing a new computer with a ddr2 compatible motherboard.
How much mb is 2.0 MB of memory?
That would be 2 megabytes which in today's world isn't very much. Instead of MB, do you mean GB which is gigabytes? 2 gigabytes is 2048 megabytes.

Are there any physical characteristics that can help you tell the difference between ram chips?
You can tell SOME kinds of differences, for example if they are made for PCs or laptops, or their kind (SODIMM, DDR, SDDR, etc). But there are other things which you cannot tell the differences, like size (mb) and speed (mhz).

wha type of memory must have it's data restored on a regular basis or it will be lost
