£10 a Gb seems to be the going rate at the moment**** I hereby relieve MSE of all legal responsibility for my post and assume personal responsible for all posts. If any Parking Pirates have a problem with my post then contact me for my solicitors address.*****0 -

Cheers all, yes it's running vista... Is it worth getting 2 x 2gb RAM's to replace the (I'm assuming) 2x1gb that are in it at present? If so are there any brands to avoid?
Thanks again0 -
You might be as well going to the Crucial website and running their scan. It will tell you what's currently installed and how many slots are free. They will also give you a price but you don't have to buy from them.:wall: Flagellation, necrophilia and bestiality - Am I flogging a dead horse? :wall:
