hi my mates got an old emachines e120 desktop which has an astounding 64 meg of ram
anyways couple of years ago it was very unstable and would crash all the time thanks to windows ME so i stuck in windows xp for him knowing it would be slow but the plan was to get some more ram quite quickly but he never bothered and just plods on useing his pagefile as ram basically lol , anyways i was up yesterday trying to use his pc and was ready for throwing it out the window!
i need to find out what ram his pc will take as crucial doesnt list it , i check myself and it had a sticker with pc100 on it and it certainly looked like it with 2 notches in the bottom of it , it was also single sided ram and only one one stick
do you think the new board will support double sided ram ?
another mate is going to loan me a stick of pc100 he has lying around somewhere to try in it and see if it really is pc100 then we can order new ram for him
do i need to have matched pairs eg 2x 128 mb or 2x 256 as it currently runs on 1 x 64mb single sided ram
what do u reckon the max this system can take 512 or 256 ?
