The performance of Linux memory can be hampered with the shortage of the physical memory. Various systems use different types of memories and the end user should have some knowledge about the memory of the system he or she uses. The great benefit that can be obtained from the Linux memory is that it is more capable when compared to Microsoft or Windows. Its performance is much high on the cutting edge hardware. Due to this feature, many users who have the old version of windows 98 have started to switch over now.

The fact of the subject, nevertheless, is that the power of new computers has been increased and hence many features have been added to the desktop environments of the Linux memory. Due to this consequence, many distributions with the default will give a low level of performance when it is installed on the hardware of old version. It has become true in many new applications and also many web browsers like Fire fox and office suites like open office that are featured fully. When the same is made to run on a system that has the capacity of 128 MB RAM, it will be a sore experience.

How a solution can be derived for this problem? It is quite simple. The old hard ware has to be thrown or in other words it has to be upgraded. A new memory can be installed. When it is decided to have the system with Linux memory, there should not be any fear as this Linux community is famous for many years and possesses a good strength in the field of hardware.

In many cases, the first important factor that has to be considered is the performance of the operating system and the capacity of memory available in the same. In some computers, the processor may be very fast but the memory will not be upto the desired level and thus the processor will not be utilized to the fullest extent.

The system will be made to waste its time in data shuffling between the swap space and the physical memory thus leaving the CPU idle for most of the time. Hence it is advisable to increase the performance of the old machine by increasing its memory capacity and speed. But this may not be possible in many systems due to various reasons. Some of them are RAM speed and shortage of free slots etc. Some systems may not be worthy for spending money on them due to their age.

If, on the other hand, if the system is not fit for upgrading, then the next available good choice is to decrease the RAM requirement to make the system work better than before. Overall, it is advisable to change the system if there is no room to upgrade it. The system has to be updated every now and then for maintaining it at par with the industry trend.
