I was written about ram amount can be used by OSs
on subThread:
as above: CAN increase RAM amound IMPROVE connections - any time ?

.....I was wrong
acctualy .... I find http://support.microsoft.com/?scid=kb;en-us;q181594
one can read: Q181594 - w95 can access up to 2GB of RAM & 4GB vitual memory

Ya i was always told no matter how much ram you have it would not make your connection any better.

Someone fibbed to you, the more the better, it lets you run more startup programs that uses resourses, but if you want less send me your extra, lol

[Andrzej]

disagree
as I explain in above thread
increase ram to 512mb is worth the money

[mnosteele52]

Increasing the amount of RAM you have will not increase your bandwidth. I was discussing this with a member yesterday..... he said when doing a ftp test his speed was great but web surfing pages loaded slowly. I explained that a ftp test just downloads data and puts it into a folder (involves no resources) but web surfing involves displaying graphics and text which involve RAM & your cpu, the data transfer to your pc is the same no matter how much RAM or how fast of a cpu you have but how fast web browsing is does depend on RAM & cpu because you are running a web browser and displaying graphics which uses resources. So in short more RAM & a faster cpu will help with web surfing but will not increase your actual bandwidth.

RAM will not increase bandwidth, but may help you reach your CAPS

in above thread I asked about border amount of ram

thank you for explanation of yours opinions

In my opinion cpu & ram can easier REACH cap.
Possibly also improve stability of transmisions? (not sure)
no doubts the bigest importance is CAP
and acctual "trafic & weather" on internet"
second Q
what is important in influence on "effects of bandwidth"
= I mean efects of tansmision on screen
CPU & also RAM can improve REACH of display efect
but in equal importance for internet?
In my opinion cpu is "not important" at all

Yes, Win95 is limited to accessing 2gb physical ram, but Win98 and beyond (on the Win9x kermel) can access 4gb physical ram.
Both can use greater amounts of virtual memory. (32gb IIRC)

In Win9x no amount of extra ram will increase your resources, but extra physical ram can delay swap file usage, allowing more apps to run or run faster, which can allow a slightly faster network connection becase the processor and ram are not tied up with other things.

Note, I said can, not does.
This scenario very rarely happens with Win9x because people don't multi-task with it enough to encounter the above scenario.
It takes a whole lot more than websurfing and a word app running.

That said, adding ram to increase your web speed is a waste of time 99% of the time.

Hey that member was me Mnosteele
But anyway, the bottom line is that if you have more RAM than the faster where you are trying to go can appear on your screen, but your actual connection will stay the same. So yes having more RAM will make it seem like your connection is faster because your computer will be able to process the info coming into it much faster and easier. But in reality your actual incoming amount of data per second will not increse, it just makes you think it does. It's sort of an illusion.

above have written about IDEAL condition that dose not hepend
who one achive prefect composition of hardware??
who one CAN acctualy use plain OS and naked IE??
NONE!
on board during connection I'm forced to run several prgs:
1. OS
2. RAM recover (FreememProf) in 2k&xp is build in to OS
3. firewall (AlarmZone) in 2k&xp is build in to OS
4. internet www address saver (PowerMarks)
5. advertaising killer (Pop-upStoper)
6. antivir (none)
7. OE (from time to time)
8. e-mail account piper (ePrompter)
9. others ?? (none)
10.IE
11.pictures, animations, icons, sounds, melody (y/n)
the rules are simple: ABOVE AS MINIMUM
Thay are always RUN as a background of connections (bandwidth)
For all of that I "force to pay" with RAM & RESOURSES (less)
We are still owners of vehicals without "automatic transmisions".
but I heard many good words about 2k

For me such compositions are as ancient Roman Mozaic
such as every user CAN FIT to arrangement
From hardw&softw reason there are even not the puzzle
In my opinion there are the main points
confirmed my observation that with cpu more 500MHz
upg up to 512mb RAM can have significantly effects
not only on disply but as well as on transmitions;
from wall to screen and from your CPO to nic (mic)
from last year, due to such experiments I was happy owner of 1GB ram
point A> what can you do for STOP use hdds during 64mb tests by yours vehicals?
Q:why?
A:there is evident with ram 32mb:
did not chew&swallow bites streem from your CPO
& add additional road:
2*swap file (=2^1) + 4*ram (=2^2) + 8*cache (=2^3) + may be even more?
final results: explain period of re-write "transmited file" to hdd dir >>>2min!
point B> evident on www: as period from clik to filled disply - is not illusion
ram CAN reach CAPS - that was payed on monthly basis.
seen situation on markets: upg RAM to 512mb is worth the price
& the last one is NO illusion.

during disscusion on CacheMem5'11 (last week)
once more I try monitoring tools included to the prg
I'm VERY surprised that resources, both: GDI & users (every 5sec)
are NOT involved so much that I previously though
in:
web surfing
RAM recovery
even in weak PC
changes in free RAM is much, MUCH stronger
observations will be continued :2cool:
PS leaking problems?
