Well ... a full disk will cause computer issues, including lagging because theres no where to write temporary files etc, but ram will only be affected when actually running a program unless you run it resident, so downloading anything wont be an issue if theres space on the disk.

A full disk will need to be gone thru to delete redundant and unneccassry files, and then disk clean up and defragmenter ran. You will find these tools in Start, programs, accessories, system tools. If youve NEVER defragmented, might do it now!

If ram wasnt your issue before and it is now, several things can cause that as mentioned, from failing mother board, to running too many resident programs. And then again, it may be time to buy a new one.

If the defragmenting and removing files dont work, id take it to a pc shop personally. Just adding ram may not fix a thing if the motherboard is bad, or the disk is full or needs to be defragmented.

As Ramsey said.. we can sit here all day and guess.. LOL.
