Hi there,

I need to upgrade my RAM (currently have 96mb). Im
running an AMD Athlon 1600+ 1.39ghz with XP and need to
buy more RAM, but as a Novice (and a girly) im not sure
what to go for -- Can anyone help me and recommend
something.
Thanks

Greetings

Goto http://www.crucial.com/ and get 256MB to 512MB of RAM, depending on how
much you want to spend.

Get the same make and model RAM that you already have! You
know this ram already works. If you buy other ram it may not
work. However if you buy it from a local dealer you can return it
for a replacement, not to easy when ordering on line. :-)

I would open the case and look at the ram that is already plugged into
the motherboard to see how many slots total are there and how many slots
are already filled with memory. Most machines I have seen lately have 4
slots on the motherboard.

If you are 'lucky' you will still have some slots not filled with memory
and will be able to add more.

If not, you will need to remove the 'lower capacity' memory modules
already installed and replace them with 'higher capacity' ones.

There are so many different types of ram modules these days that it
would be VERY helpful if you knew what type was already installed in
your computer.

If you don't know, you might bring the computer box with you to a
reputable local computer store and ask them for assistance -- unless you
feel ok with removing the memory from the motherboard yourself and
bringing it into the store so they can try to identify it.

I would STRONGLY suggest putting the memory into an anti-static bag as
soon as you remove it to reduce the possibility of zapping it.

Use your 'girlie' skills and you will soon have up to a dozen male
computer nerds tripping over themselves to offer assistance

Regards,

Steve 'computer nerd'
