I recently had more RAM installed and now have 320MB. Ihave a Pentium 3 450 13 GBcomputer. But now the computer only has about 71% free when fresh boot is done and gradually diminsishes through out the day. Sometimes going so low that computer freezes on shutdown. Lastnight only had 33% free before shutting down. Had not run any large programs,basically only the internet. Have taken all programs off the task bar that aren't required on startup. I hope someone can give me a clue as to what is happening. I didn't have the problem prior to getting the new RAM and it was tested as being good.
