Hi Adrian.Virtual memory is a page file on the hard drive which the operating system treats as RAM, storing non essential operating data in for quick recall. I suggest using the Crucial scanner at www.crucial.com/uk to see which type of memory your machine takes, you can buy it directly from them and they back their memory with a lifetime guarantee and compatibility assurance pledge.
All the best, Ibrahim.-----Original Message----- From: Adrien Collins
