Computer people...

So I'm all set then ? 512 MB in slot 2 , just plug it in and see what happens ?

Or is there some critical safety issue I'm overlooking?

Just be sure the power is off and that you grab a hold of the metal frame of your case before putting your hands on anything in there. Do this to to discharge any static electricity.

So you have 3 slots? 128 & 64 taken up then put in 256mb in stead .What I mean is configure for 512 or close to it

[fred devliegher]

3 slots ? Certainly not...

As I understand it -

*Slot 1 : 256 MB (one stick)

*Slot 2 : empty

*ATI Mobility Radeon 7000 IGP sucking up 64 MB for graphics

Net result : 192 MB useable memory

Either that or I really don't have a clue.

Oh sorry thought you had onboard video 64 mg I feel silly now .lol
But yes buy the 256 mg .You might not see much of a difference at first but trust me it works. Listen to vb installin memory is easy but watch the static elec. Just make sure you seat it properly youll do fine

All right then...

I'm gonna shop around in Leuven over the weekend , if I can't find what I need I'll order online (found a shop that carries "my" memory but it's a bit out of the way).

Thanks for all the advice , I'll try not to fry myself/the comp/my relatives...

Oh...

! HAPPY NEW YEAR !

I got 512 p2700 ram and have been thinking of doubling it for a while now,
is it worth it? will i notice much difference?

I got a P4 2.53, 80 Gb HD, 128mb ti 4600 graphics!

Hey your machines kicking butt.What you got money to burn ? lol Memory never hurts I guess. My rule of thumb is I would upgrade my video first IF you have 512mb your fine

open task manager, and watch your page file usage over a period of time, especially while performing multiple tasks.
it's gonna page some, that's fine...but if it's consistently using all your physical RAM, then add more, if not, there are probably other,
more performance-boosting ways to spend your money.
