Pc world will charge you more than double what you can get it at otherwise, down load and install this and go to the memory part and take a screenshot:

direct download linky:
[url=http://www.cpuid.com/download/cpu-z-139.zip]http://www.cpuid.com/download/cpu-z-139.zip

un zip, scan and run.

Will tell you all you need to know about your computer, what memory is in it, which processor etc.

Post results back here and we'll tell you whats what, pc world will say either, bring the computer in and we'll charge you £50 to look, and try to sell you a new (overpriced) computer.

Best to go to the final page and select html dump then upload the files it askes you to save somewhere and we'll have a look

Hi

Go to www.crucial.com and use their memory scanner. There is a link to it on the homepage. It will tell you what memory you have and recommend compatible memory for you to buy.

Cheers

Buy a new PC and not a dell or hp.

Well put the links in manually,

Or follow the PC World workers advice and buy a new comp. If its a old comp memory can be hard to come by new and you may need to get it off eBay.

I run a comp with worse specs than yours for a few things, and it depends what you want to do with it and also how much memory your system will support. How much you should get.

I would replace them all with 256Mb Sticks should give your comp a much needed boost, also cleaning out and unneeded or unwanted components that run in the background is a must.

Are you using XP?

Joske all i did was copy and paste them, i dont know what happened. Bloody computers, didnt put in any html for them, so network54 must have messed it up.

Mountain Machine, your post says you edited it at some stage.

I find that editing posts on this forum which contain hyperlinks usualy causes nightmares.

Anyone else find this?

Yes, if you edit your post, always double check any links as the forum software inserts various bits of HTML after you originally post. With MM's post, I went in subsequently and tidied things up.
