It's not talking about your hard drive memory silly. It's talking about you ram. (random access memory). these little stick determent how fast or how many applications can run. To put it basically it's the speed of the computer.

OK the guy under me has no idea what he's talking about. Also he googled it and came up with a good link. In the link it says to fix the problem get more ram.
