Hi, I need help with upgrading my memory. I play EverQuest and my computer is really slow when I zone. This makes other players angry with me, and makes me feel bad. But I have to work with what I can afford.
I have an old HP Pavillion Model 533w, but it works fine more me until I get into EverQuest.
My pc sits now as it did when I purchased it (concerning hardware) with nothing having been added...yet.
I was told to upgrade my memory to help me with my problem. I was told to get a 184 pin DIMM 1GB DDR RAM PC2100. I found it online for around $70.
My questions are these:
1) Does this sound correct for this system?
2) Is this a good price?
3) If I purchase this, will I need to purchase other parts (or anything) that might be needed to make this work?
4) Will this help with my problem of slow zoning from one zone to another in my game?
I am sorry that I am a newbie at this. I do not know much about computers, but I have replaced RAM in other computers, so I know I can snap them in. *smiles* I just want someone who is knowledgable to tell me if I am making a mistake or not.
Also, any suggestions for help with faster load in my game?
I thank you kindly for your time and any assistance.
You take care now.....
