Hello, I wish to upgrade my PC with more RAM.  Understand that upgrading RAM is  easy.
Can any one guide me on how to carry this out.
Is it worth it CONSIDERING the make and model??
Travel to Crucial.com and run the online scanner...
You don't have to buy it from them but it will tell you ecxactly what type and how much it will take...
After pricing it out only you can decide if it's worth it or not...Good evening meaner02

Patio is correct but just in case you couldn't find what you are looking for

And considering you are running XP and more than likely it is 32 bit so the OS will only see a max of 3 to 3.5 gig's of ram and your PC can take up to 4 gig's (DDR PC3200 this memory is considered DDR1) and you should have 4 slots.

So for instance If you do install (4) 1 gig sticks would equal in xp only 3 to 3.5 GIGS.

Hope this helps, Mike  Just wanted to mention... Crucial's Tool works well 99% of the time, but on my Motherboard it says I have 4 slots available for 8GB Maximum at 2GB per slot, and my Motherboard only has 2 slots so it maxes out at 4GB = 2 x 2GB Sticks. It works well for knowing what you need for Ram, but I'd look inside and count how many RAM slots you have if you plan on fully populating 4 slots, as for you might find only 2 slots like my Biostar motherboard even though Crucial DETECTS 4 slots.

This is probably the motherboards memory controller reporting back that it can address 4 Ram slots, even though only 2 slots are available. My motherboard is a smaller Biostar motherboard rectangular and not square, so some features are lacking from it such as PCIe 1x or 2x slot. I only have a single PCIe 16x slot and 2 PCI slots and everything is populated tight on the smaller motherboard.

On a similar note there was a HARDWARE tool, might have been Sisoft Sandra that use to be good for hardware detection and reporting etc, and it DETECTED on my HP Pavilion a long time ago that I had an AGP slot available for video card upgrade. I bought video card and went to install it and HP decided to stuff my system with a motherboard that was missing the AGP slot. Looking at the motherboard you see the location and thru-holes filled with solder but no AGP slot to install a video card into. This aggrivated me and I sold the computer less than 3 months owning it for 1/2 what I paid for it new, as for Games dont run well on integrated video or video cards on PCI slot.

Its always best to verify before buying components that there is a location to stuff them!May be a good idea to contact them with a quick e-mail so they can update their database...Yes some time ago i too had exactly that issue after a Crucial scan. I did send them a message which was gratefully acknowledged. I do refer people to them but they are NOT infallible.truenorthNoone is infallible...
That's why contacting them is the right thing to do...it improves a Free service they offer...
