yes it should make it a lot faster, did the scanner say you have a free slot for it?
when your pc runs out of real ram, it uses the hard disk to swap the contents to (virtual memory), with only 222meg, that swapping will be going on all the time, and it really slows the PC down, because the hard disk is slow when compared to ram
XP needs 512ish to work without continually swapping. you can see this going on, because the hard disk light will be on all the timeEver get the feeling you are wasting your time? :rolleyes:0
