So I recently cracked open the case of my very old Dell XPS. It's running Windows 98 with 128mb SDRAM and an Nvidia Riva TNT.
I'm thinking about upgrading it a little.
1. I'm pretty sure the Riva is AGP. The port is black and a little bigger than the PCI slots, can anyone confirm? I would like to buy maybe an FX5900 or something.
2. If I want to upgrade it to 256, can I buy any brand stick of SDRAM or does it need to be something special? I heard Dell uses proprietary RAM?
Thanks.
