RAM and wifi issues - possible

[lister]

Hi I have a low space issue on my C drive and RAM is low, recently my WiFi has been dropping, (and its definitely not the wifi since other machines work).

Could it be that wifi needs lots of RAM to work?

Thanks!

Nope it's not likely to be related to RAM (also, while 4GB would be nice, 2GB is reasonable for 32 bit windows) or hard drive space.

Check and update or rollback Wifi adapter drivers on the laptop if necessary. Also, check if the antenna is working okay. A while ago, my friend's HP laptop running Vista displayed similar symptoms...turned out that the Wifi antenna was somehow spoiled (difficult to actually damage it lol..but it happened).
