    Why is he PowerBook 5300 Tour sound quality so poor? I just got my Macintosh PowerBook 5300 series computer (with 8 MB of RAM) and have not changed any settings or installed any software yet.

DISCUSSION


    PowerBook 5300 Tour Sound
    =========================

    The sound quality of the PowerBook 5300 Tour application may be improved by turning off Virtual Memory. Follow these steps to do this:

    Step 1
    ------
    Pull down the Apple menu and select Control Panels.

    Step 2
    ------
    Open the Memory control panel.

    Step 3
    ------
    Turn off Virtual Memory.

    Step 4
    ------
    Select Restart the from the Special menu.

    Step 5
    ------
    Double-click on the PowerBook 5300 Tour application icon to start the tour.

    When the tour is finished or you decide to quit, you may want to turn Virtual Memory back on so that you have enough memory available to open other applications.


    Why Virtual Memory Is On
    ========================

    Macintosh PowerBook 5300 series computers that come with the minimum configuration of 8 MB of RAM ship with Virtual Memory turned on for your convenience. Many popular applications (the Microsoft Office suite, for example) may require a significant amount of RAM to run. If Virtual Memory was not enabled when the PowerBook shipped, many common applications may not have enough RAM to launch.
