    Hey,

    I haven't got the greatest pc in the world by a long shot but it does its job. I'm looking to speed it up a bit to play some of the games i have as they are a bit slow. Now i don't mean games like doom3 and whatever i just have AOE and simcity 4 and a few older games. I ran my test on crucial.com and this is what i got.http://www.crucial.com/systemscanner/viewscanbyid.aspx?id=D7BBB44C31D926C3
    Is it just a case of taking out the memory that's already there and putting in the new ones?

    it really is as simple as that. just make sure not do go dragging your feet along a carpet for half an hr wearing socks and then touch the ram (ul give the ram a static charge and break it)

    it usually come with a wristband u put on ya and and just literally slot out the old ram and put in the new ram. i did it on my laptop before and on my new PC. its literally really really easy - just a case of slotting it out and slotting in the new one and bang, ur PC starts up and recognises it.

    one thing..that test shows ur using 384MB of RAM..thats quite the accomplishment lol ;)


    If you want to buy from Ireland i think this one will be fine for ya too :)
