networker 0 Report post Posted January 12, 2009 I tried using netbeans and it was really,really slow.It would crash all the time too.VB net which is a large sizehas always run perfectly on my computer.I only have128 megabyte Ram. Would increasing my ram with a usb stick solve the problems with netbeans?I'm a bit of a hardware doofus,and I don't like to go inside the computer to do anything,so I'd prefer a usb ram. Any feedback? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There's no way to speed up your computer with a flash drive, it's just extra space.If you get more RAM, it would definitely help speed up your whole system. And stuff probably wouldn't crash as much. I have no idea how you're able to run anything nowadays with less than 512MB of RAM, unless you're only using your computer to edit text documents or something. I don't see why you wouldn't get more RAM, it's really cheap now, and it's not hard to install. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
