Hello again levi.

I should have mentioned this on your other thread but....

If you could go to the User CP section, then click on Edit Options, then tic the box to allow others to view your system specs, that is a better place to put that system info.

That way any post you add will already have the pertinent information in place.

If there is any question as to what components you may have, click on the Smilie computer in my signature and use Belarc. It is a free identifying utility.

Thanks!

Hi levi

Maximum Memory Capacity: 1048576 MB
That's the maximum amount of memory you can have. Basically you can have a maximum of 1gb RAM. I'm not sure what the limit is per slot, it could be 256mb. You could buy two more 256mb sticks to upgrade your RAM to 1gb.

Hi levi. Memory upgrades, flash media, and usb storage at Crucial.com is a great website. It scans your system and tells you how many slots for ram you have and recommends the ram you should buy

If you are replacing your ram this website helps alot
