Hi All
I have been asked to look at a Laptop that is extremely slow.
Whenever I run an application, Internet Explorer for example the stats in Memory Hard Faults/Sec are well into the 100s (155, 167)
If I run Windows Memory diagnostic tools it reports no problems!
Which should I believe?

Thanks in Advance
Ade

Don't worry about it. It's OK.

If you want you can look up what that means.

Many Thanks
So I incorrectly thought that "Memory Hard Faults/Sec" meant a memory problem when in fact it is means the times it had to get info from the swap file on the hard drive as it was not in memory
Another 1 Gig of memory looks like the answer
Cheers
