The Notebook Review forums were hosted by TechTarget, who shut down them down on January 31, 2022.

    I have 1GB of RAM, well there is only 422MB available! What can I do to free up some of it?

    Clear up your startup folder. Sounds like the pre-installed bloatware is eating up a lot.

    Yes - bloatware/spyware/adaware could all be eating up the amount of RAM available to the system.
