Hi guys my laptop is hp compaq nc6000 with 512 MB RAM. when i use firefox for more than 20 mins it becomes slow and hang. I ve checked it with task manager, it shows the page file usage is at peak. Give me some options to clear this problem My config is Intel[R] Pentium[R] M processor 1600MHz 1.59GHz,512 MB of RAM and using Windows XP prof. service pack 3.

Thanks

Ignore the part where it says to use 1.5x as much physical memory you have, and increase the maximum size to a few thousand megabytes

You should probably look into upgrading the memory in your nc6000 if you're going to be using modern software. Perhaps some 1GB DDR (not DDR2 or DDR3) SO-DIMMs...
