Out of Memory, Why?

[V.B.For Dummie's]

Updating chips just because of dust on them is silly. Simply blow it or vacuum it off (properly of course).

Thats funny......... The reason to update the chips was suggested due to years of dust collecting and plainly put............. out of date , factory installed crappy chips in the first place !

For instance , most computer packages ship with the generic , cheap Chips !
When good chips cost 3-4 times the amount , which means better quality & reliability of performance !

Most households CANNOT afford to go to the on-line Dell store and buy good quality Computers , nor' do most households have the intelligence of the inside of a computer to know what to request of there new computers' components , so most households have actually bought what was on sale , which naturally means Low-Quality PARTS !

Shutting down a system has no effect on this, because while the chips are being powered, residual charges don't occur. It's only once the system is off that it is suggested waiting at least 10 seconds before powering back up. I run my system 24/7, and servers around the world are run continuously also.

Extremely funny there..........The main idea to shutting down the system is to release any electrical charges , just as suggested by Tech support

By the way , Tech support will tell you to TURN your computer off in order to release any electrical charges in your R.A.M. and then re-boot .
Microsoft :::: The only way to recover all R.A.M. is to re-boot despite what some software programs proclaim.

Last I knew, win98 is still supported. It is win95 that is supposedly no longer supported. Although, this doesn't mean a lot to me, since any patches and such they planned have been issued already.

If there were still patches out then why did'nt microsoft have any for me ? Thats why I just threw my Win98 in the closet

Every windows OS has security issues. However, what they don't say is that many security problems are actually not the fault of the OS, but the darn m$ browser. That is another discussion altogether, and has no bearing here.

True , however , how many 12 year old kids have been cracking and hacking XP lately ? Compare that to the amount of 12 year olds that cracked Win98 over and over

In short, an out of memory issue is a software problem, or the system may actually be out of memory. If the app is causing memory leaks, the problem would escalate as the app runs.

Contradictary ?

Not all true . The blame can be several things contributing to the factor .



Dust does allow electricity to pass . Dust can be used as a condutor .
Most people do NOT blow the dust out of there computer , thus leading to excessive dust collection which can become enough to create a conductor . Despite the fans blowing, which mean absolutely NOTHING to the matter !
And after years and years of poor housecleaning.......................... the RAM chips , as well as other resistors , capacitors , diodes , etc......... can be shorted out

Wiz , if you're into electronics then I'd expect you to realize this.
