I'm amazed by what discussion my post about my RAM upgrade has generated.
Many thanks to everyone for all your help.
I've installed 2 x 128 MB 168 Pin DIMM RAM PC100 - which I got for £15
inc. delivery on EBay. I couldn't find 256 MB SIMM RAM even remotely as
cheap as the DIMM, without buying several modules from different EBayers.
For those that have been discussing the performance of Win 2000 on this
266 Mhz and now 256 MB RAM PC (but with caching for only 64 MB) I am
pleased to report a massive performance increase from when it had only 64
MB RAM, software, EG. IE, Firefox, WinAmp, now loads in just 2-3 seconds,
rather than 30-60 seconds (I kid not!). It is now very usable, to such an
extent that I'm going to install OpenOffice -
- which was unthinkable
before.
Thanks again.
