are you sure RAM is your problem? alot of people have FAR too much RAM, i've got 1GB, which is more than enough even for me!

but yea, have a look at what make your mother board is, and go to their site and see what types of RAM it will support.

well i have a windows 98 with 63 mb of ram so taht not enough but thanks for the help anyone else got any other solutions?

[Vivica]

63MB?

erm... are you sure?

do you only want RAM because your pc is slowing up?

Most computers use 184 pin memory sticks. You can count if you want. ;)

We could help you farther if we knew:
- Processor speed
- Processor type (Intel, AMD)

and the motherboard!

RAM is all different, there are different types, and you need to make sure you get compatible stuff.

I would look on www.hp.com (http://www.hp.com) to see if they have a manual for the specific type of the computer. Also, Windows 98 has a tendency to be VERY unstable, especially when running memory or processor intensive applications, such as video editing software.

Serial Number please?
