Installing more RAM on a computer

**CREDO** · 08-28-2005, 12:49 AM

heres a thought, if in doubt, just whip out a stick of your own ram and show it to them, they will look and the pins and notches and (if they have a brain) tell you right away that you need SDRAM for an old PIII, downside of this is that they dont manufacture SDRAM anymore and the price is rising all the time.

its getting to the point that you might as well just shell out for a cheap new motherboard, CPU and DDR RAM. Or go hunting second hand stores and recycle stores for some ram out of an old PC
A new HDD wouldnt go astray either for a bit of a speed boost.

I just couldnt work on a PIII as my main rig anymore.. it would piss me off no end.
