What is the reason why you are upgrading your memory and causing your hard disk space to be low?

Q: I added a new 1GB of RAM to the machine, but the system suggests that there is not enough space left on the C disk. When I took the memory strip off, the system hint disappeared again. My computer is installed with Windows XP. I have never seen such a strange phenomenon, but what is it?

A: This may be because the virtual memory is set in the C disk, and the free space of the C disk is indeed not much. Before upgrading the memory, the virtual memory occupies a small space, but after adding a 1GB of memory, according to Windows XP defaults, virtual memory occupies a lot of space, so the free space on the C disk will naturally become smaller. You can manually set the path of the virtual memory to another letter by entering the virtual memory Setup interface in the System properties, or remove the unwanted files from C to free up more space.
