Allocating more memory to a program Zakynthos 12/17/2008 10:57:01 AM I'm using a workforce management program and am involved in a data transfer project - the running time of this program is rather slow in relation to the automation I am using. Is there a way I could allocate more RAM to this program and would that facilitate an increase in speed? many thanks

RE: Allocating more memory to a program Carlos 12/17/2008 12:20:07 PM Hi, Could you describe your setup more thoroughly? Operating System, processor, amount and type of RAM, hard disk, etc. And finally, which is the - slow - application you are running onto it.

RE: Allocating more memory to a program Carlos 12/17/2008 1:12:11 PM Hi, This is a Newsgroup for 64-bit operating systems and you are using a 32-bit one. All that being said, if you are convinced that your program needs more memory, I would go from the 1GB you have to 2GB. If data transfer is limited by hard disk speed you might also consider setting up a RAID array with, at least, two identical disks. Best of luck.

Most laptops ship with quite slow drives. Upgrading to a 7200 RPM drive can make a noticeable difference. Combine that with increasing the RAM to 2 GB, and you should see a significant difference. -- Charlie. http://msmvps.com/blogs/xperts64 http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/profile/charlie.russel "Carlos" <Carlos[ at ]discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:94BF05E0-7298-4C34-B047-78FC2D17DCAD[ at ]microsoft.com...

Re: Allocating more memory to a program Carlos 12/17/2008 2:58:01 PM Drive is an 80GB, 7200rpm, 3.5" Seagate Barracuda. He might also be running out of space, depending on what he has installed in it.

Re: Allocating more memory to a program "John Barnes" <jbfoofy[ at ]nomailemail.com> 12/17/2008 5:26:20 PM In addition to the above suggestions, you might get a head start by changing the process to a higher priority (try above normal initially).
