re: Slow Performance Maintenance Diagnostic Monday, June 2, 2003 at 11:57 am Windows Me Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Cam (4178 messages posted) Only 128Mb of RAM is really not enough, Windows is better with 256Mb which is really the minimum with increased web-content and more programs multi-tasking than ever before. 512Mb is ideal. A good defrag IS essential: DISKEEPER LITE Use this defrag to take a good look at your disk-drives, so that you can see the picture CLEARLY. As to RAM the BEST advice is to get some more as it is so inexpensive. Also you need a good clean-up diagnostic and maintenance kit for ME to keep it running.
