RAM help wierd $#!@

[John.m.kurtz]

in this pc i have 2 (MEM RIMM 128-mb PC800 32MX2 RO) ram sets. I have no clue what kind to buy to upgrade it. The motherboard can read up to 2gb of ram and thats how much i want in it. Thus i need 2 1gb sticks but the current ram has wierd slots with two notches insted of the one notch im used to. Basicly i need help on figuring out what ram i need to buy.

looks like im F***** ill have to upgrade the motherboard. Each slot can only take at a MAX 512mb. so to have 2g i would need to fill all 4 slots with 512mb and still i dont know wtf is in the 3 and 4 slot. Oh well thanks anyway.

Maybe you should get a new system if you can instead of upgrading this one.
