I just looked on the Crucial configurator as well, and machine not listed - it seems to be 150 model up.

What do you use your PC for? Even a 128Mb upgrade is poor.

at the moment ive got 256 of RAM.

i was thinking of buying a new computer (to a brand that can easily be upgraded) but looking round £100 couldnt get me much. also i dont have a clue how i can get all my old memory onto a new comp

i mainly use my computer for the web and msn, but i do want something i can use online games on etc...

cheers kris

If you want to use it for serious online gaming, then £100 is going to get you nowhere - I recently paid £170 just for a GFX card

ok maybe i mis - led you, when i meant online gaming i meant like once a week, i would mainly just be playing on games such as generals, and age of empires 3.

thanks kris

Doesn't matter how often you're on it! Still needs the same amount of grunt.

For about £200-300 you could get a decent machine, using some parts from your current i.e. screen, keyboard, mouse, hdd, floppy, optical. Just need new mobo, memory, processor and gfx card.
