I just renewed Limewire PRO and the installation was very easy to do. When
running limewire (new version 4.16) it uses up more RAM than the original
4.12 that I am used to using. Does this mean I need to go out and buy
more RAM up to 1 to 2 GB's. My PC has 512 Megabytes installed in here.
Limewire is a RAM guzzler now I cannot upgrade anymore than this.

This program took up to 112 Megs up RAM at the beginning
of the session. I might just end up using Frostwire for now until I get
more RAM to use Limewire PRO 4.16

Ways to reduce ram use:
* Tip: Purge the Downloads Queue! (click on blue link)
* And reduce shared files if over 2,000
* Disable Ultrapeer capabilities under Advanced options > Performance. Perhaps the other options on that window too.
* Close LW periodically.
* Check your version of Java .. some versions may be less ram efficient or work better on your system.
* Close off searches you finished with.
* Set uploads & downloads to auto clear after completion.

But 512 MB ram nowadays is a little small.

I think I know what my problem might be. My pc only has 63 MB of RAM.
