I should add that if you have insufficient RAM,
your computer will run slowly. But if you have sufficient RAM, just adding
more won't speed it up. If you never use more than three GB of RAM and you
have four, adding more RAM won't do anything. You already have 1GB that is
free at all times. I often see people say, the more RAM, the faster your
machine will run.
Memory is one of the most widely misunderstood
technical aspects of computers and I've seen more nonsense about RAM than about
any other technical aspect of computers. The more memory the better?
How can more memory speed up a computer that already has free memory when you
are just adding more that won't be used.

from my inbox folder in outlook It depends on how much RAM is being used. If
your RAM is so low that your computer must use virtual memory, that is, placing
information on your hard drive instead of in RAM, your computer would be slow in
operation or slow in switching from program to program as you alt tab and open
another program you have alt tabbed to.
Deleting the messages in your inbox doesn't have
anything to do with memory use. You've deleted the messages. They
are gone. They weren't in RAM to start with, they were on your hard drive
and were displayed in the inbox. Now they are gone.

from my inbox folder in outlook i'm talking about ram as in low memory. i have plenty of disk space. but if your computer doesn'"t have a lot of ram, does that mean the machine will be slow? i thought the more ram you have, and the faster your processor, the faster your machine will be. i could be wrong, though.
