Like this.
"Memory" = you sound like somebody's dad c. 1995 = Random Access Memory.
That's these.
Yes, "hard [disk] drives" are non-volatile, but they aren't NVRAM, you see (NVRAM, that stuff that saves highscores in newer arcade games, and stores some settings in my ancient Proliant 6500).
Yeah, it's a form of "memory," but nobody calls it that in current usage. It's called "storage" now.
It's actually a better convention than one might suppose, because a person's memory is always volatile, while something written in a much slower book (for instance) does not change as easily.
My suggestion, this is gonna take a while depending on your machine. I just fooled around with an old Compaq Presario 5000 and my god I don't know how the hard drive goes in the bay anymore, I mean it literally doesn't fit with the shit they've got in there. But that's irrelevant.
If you have one of those slim found-at-Wal*Mart specials or most anything in a small case, even something that should be simple like adding or changing a hard drive could be nearly fatal as you cut yourself on the sharp insides of the case (I'm not sure if I ever have, though). But it's worth it to start to describe what you have. Push comes to shove, get rid of some unnecessary files, i.e. any CHDs (hard drive images) you may have loaded in MAME, and so on.
), but I don't know what else I could remove from our PC. I've already removed Real Player and Quicktime; we only have Windows Media Player. Right now Adobe Reader 9.1.1 and HP Imaging Device 6.0 are taking up the most space, but we need both of those.
