[sleepsleep]

[dunklegend]

Sure!
Do you have a manual that tells you the motherboard model?
Or better yet what kind of memory it supports?

Nothing is as easy as it looks

Need to know the model number of the system and I can tell you.

Easiest way...

USE <A HREF="http://www.cpuid.org/download/cpu-z-128.zip" target="_new">CPU-Z</A>

click the memory tab.

Look at the type and memory speed.

model number - T2792

That looks like its a 845GV chipset as far as I can tell. What I found with the info that you gave was that it came with PC2100 DDR.

It takes PC2100 memory for a maximum of 2GB of memory. It has 2 memory slots, if you are running Windows XP I would recommend getting a 512MB module.
