Memory problem?

Hi Guys,

I'm have an AMD Athlon XP2000+, 1Gig RAM, Matrox G200 Multi monitor card with tuner. I normally have six or seven things going at the same time with no problem. For the last month I keep having slow downs. If I hit Ctrl-Alt-Delete and get the little green graph next to the clock I notice when this happens that graph is all the way at the top as if the memory is full. I still use the same programs, nothing new so I can't figure whats has changed causing the problem. Thanks for the help.

 

who much hard drive space do you have left on your partition for virtual memory. To find out your virtualmemory settings right click my computer, properties, advanced tab, under perfomace click settings, advanced tab, under virtual memory click change and it will show your current partition used for virtual memory. If it is low on drive space, it cannot create virtual memory.

 

This graph:Is it the cpu usage or the page file?
The one that shows near the clock is the cpu,so you might like to check what is using it in the process tab of task manager.

 

It says in there:

Space available 27265
initial size 1536
Maximun size 3072


Is this ok, or should I change something? Thanks.
