cheeky

good advice you gave ally about bumping the ram.

i would add that ally should check with the manufacturer to verify how much memory the system will accept.

i own an old dell 166mhz that came with 32mb of memory, but it would only take another 32mb for a total of 64mb. beyond that, per dell, the system would not be able to process the extra memory and would run slower.

>But some advice, GET MORE RAM.

Upgrade to at least 64 MB of ram. Your system will run a lot faster.<

I'd like to do this, but my computer board has 2 DIMM sockets, and 4 SIMM sockets (the old sockets). Started with 16 meg on 1 DIMM socket, then added another 16 meg on the other. So, seems to me if I upgrade with more memory, I'd have to discard one 16meg, since the SIMM and DIMM sockets cannot be used at the same time.
