hoddie, no quite enough, it narrows it down to a few motherboards, but both of them are completely different from one another.

Download and run this utility:
SIW Download

Scroll down to a section called "Motherboard". In there it will give you the manufacturer and mdoel. You will also see in the same section how many slots are available and what your maximum limit is!

My guess would be it's a Foxconn motherboard, with 2x 512mb sticks of DDR1 and an AGP port.

hoodie - the best video card you can get is a 7800GS (AGP) and if you get that, you will notice games running smoother.

Whoever told you more ram would increase your gaming was only half correct. This only works if you have a video card that can keep up with it - which unfortunately don't.

OK, so your board accepts DDR 266/333 SDRAM (128pin), PC2700 or PC3200. Kingston is a good make. So probably a good idea to ask for 2 sticks of 184pin DDR PC3200 1gig each, that's if you have two in your system (512mb each). You could always sell the old ones on e-bay!

If you only have 1 (1gb) then it's best to take it with you an get another identical 1gb.
