    Dell Optiflex 280

    Hi All
    I need help here. I have Optilflex 280. I wanted to give this to my daughter for her to play around with since I have bought a new computer. The problem I have is that the computer is running very slow and I'm wondering if it is possible to upgrade the memory (RAM). Currently, it has 512 installed. If it is possible, what memory does is it used ad how do I upgrade? Thanks

    Jeffrey
