I want to speed up or make my system run smoother. When I got it back in the day it was expensive, but like evrything else I am sure is way out dated and I dont have the cash to just go buy a cool new system. A freind said to inscrease my RAM. I mostly use it for my photos, photshop 7.0, windows ultimate office 2007, internet(gf and kids on facebook and farmvillle), I am running windows xp(would like 7). Whats in my Dim4600
Pent 4 3.00GHz 2.99GHz(under processors it says dual, I am getting behind on this stuff latley so is there a chance I have 2 Pent 4's in there?)
C drive is 111GB(80.3 free)
512 MB RAM
NVIDIA GeForce FX522
Maxtor 6Y120MO
I read increasing RAM will make a difference, and somewhere on here mine has a older pc3200 184 pin unbuffered ddr sdram.
How much RAM can I put in it and whats a good middle of the road one money wise?
Can I put 2 in it?
Can I put it in myself simply?
on my gateway in 2000 I put my own CD burner in, have had this apart a cleaned out the dust, but havent done much elses
Also my one CD drive wont open all the time, needs some help sometimes if it hasnt been open in a while. Any ideas?
Thanks
