I want to add more RAM to my PC

[Grey Arrow 2]

I have a 6 year old PC which is still in good condition but runs very slow. It currently uses 256mb of RAM. I want to replace the sticks with more RAM, but i do not know where to start.

Can anyone provide assistance?

what speed is your CPU?

What kind of mobo do you have...

My Systems Specs:

OS: Windows Xp Home Edition
Processor: Intel Celeron CPU 1.80ghz
Graphics Card: 64mb
RAM: 246mb x 2

download a program called CPU-Z and install it... one of the tabs will tell you about your mobo.

|MG| CPU-Z 1.50

We actually need to know the motherboard model, or even the brand and model of your computer. This is so we can tell what type and the maximum amount of RAM your computer can take.

I'll leave this one to Nukem. He's got it. In addition to his suggestion, go to the tab that says "mainboard".

Hm, thanks for the helps guys. I've been thinking about purchasing this:

is it a good purchase and will it work?
