I have got Everest but dont know what to look for and what info I need to give you guys

Please help me as I dont want buy the wrong memory

If you look on the Everest report, this is the most important part for memory finding:

Motherboard:
CPU Type
Intel Pentium IIIE, 866 MHz (6.5 x 133)
Motherboard Name
Dell OptiPlex GX110
Motherboard Chipset
Intel Whitney i810E
System Memory
128 MB (SDRAM)
BIOS Type
Phoenix (01/28/00)

Especially this bit:

Motherboard Name
Dell OptiPlex GX110

With that information it should be possible to find the memory you require (if it's still available!).

Hi
When you go to Crucial, don't click Crucial Advisory Mem Tool, go below that to the " Scan My System", it will take you to another page, click yes, then you will download a little program, it will then scan your system, take you back to Crucial, where you will see the mem it recommends, and also compatiable mem.

Hope this helps

This is what you are after. PC2100 (DDR266)

Crucial don't really do PC2100 any more but PC2700 or PC3200 will be fine as DDR memory is backwards-compatible.
