Hello, My desktop is an Intel Celeron 1.7Ghz, with only 128MB RAM. Recently, it has become extra slow. At first i thought it was a virus, but i guess it cant handle all my programs and WinXP pro easily. My solution for now is to add some more RAM. My quesitonis, what kind of RAM can i add to my motherboard? I asked around and i was instructed to see what is compatible with my motherboard and old RAM. I just wanna get a new 512RAM. Would anything work? or is it like P4 with a max of 400Mhz on a single RAM? thnx in advance... Sam

does the board take ddr ram, sd ram or both. check motherboard manual for that info david

Could also take RDRAM. Easy way to find out... www.crucial.com "...but in my defense, it was dark, I was drunk, and it was delicious!"

I really dont know what it takes since i wasnt the one to put together my computer. :S Is there any way to know what type of motherboard i have or the type of RAM it handles. I have taken my comptuer apart, maybe i can read it somewhere of the hardware perhaps? thnx... Sam

128MB is too little RAM to run XP well, but since you also wrote this, "Recently, it has become extra slow", it tells me that something else is going on too. When is the last time you did a thorough scan for spyware? Asus A7N8X-X 1800+ @ 8 x 210MHz 512MB PC3200 Asus Ti4800SE 128MB WinME/WinXP Pro
