Hi folks,

My girlfriends parents are in need of some more memory for their pc.
At the mo they got not much at all! 96mb ish if i remember 64 & 32mb (Running Win2K)
This is the Motherboard -

They dont play games, just need email and internet.
Will an increase in memory help? It seems a bit low to me and from what i have read it dont need much more then 256mb, does that sound about right?

Thanks guys!
P.S sorry i cant give you more info i only had chance for a quick look yesterday. But i can find out if i need to.

And yes, upgrading would help a little, imo.

256MB should be fine for what they want

 
I'm out of bed and dressed, what more do you want?

I always take life with a grain of salt, ... a slice of lemon, ...and a shot of tequila

I used to have an open mind but my brains kept falling out

One more step to enlightenment ... but which way ?

In the last year and in answer to my many and varied questions I have never once been disappointed.
