iam running low on memory,and was informed my hard drives could be full so,so checked and D drive says 26.7 gb free and total size 26.7 and C drive free space 15.2 and total size 26.2gb.the laptop is a acer aspire5003wlmi 60GB HDD,256MB DDR.Seems like i may need to renove some programmes or can i move things to suite?

That's plenty of space on the disks.

I think you're confusing RAM against Hard Disk space.

Freeing programs won't help your memory situation.

You need to buy some more RAM for the laptop.

If you look in the manual or specs of the machine it will tell you what ram can be fitted to it. 1Gb of Ram is now a good figure to have.

To find out what RAM you need you could also use the system scanner at Crucial.

thanks for the advice,it tells me i have 256mb,and can buy another 256mb for £17.00 or 512mb @ £20.00 and 1 GB @ £43.00 which is the best option and what is the cost of getting it installed in the laptop.thanks

The rule of memory is; you can never have enough! Buy as much as you can afford, but at the very least the 512Mb which gives you 768Mb.

It's dead easy to fit, there should be a small panel on the underside of the laptop that unscrews with 2 screws and reveals the extra slot. (Although one or 2 models are under the keyboard, but the screws are usually marked with a 'chip' symbol to indicate which ones to remove)
