What do you need it for
What you specified was Memory (as in RAM) which is internal for the computer. A memory card allows for external storage for example....
So why are you buying one for your pc what purpose. [FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]"The internet is a great way to get on the net."

to make pc bit quicker as its very slow - had a pc guy to look at it and thats what he recomended0

The problem you have is that as its a very very old pc, it will only support very very old RAM.
Your best option would be to buy a budget pc with windows XP on.. look at the lower end of the Dell pc's from their website for example....[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]"The internet is a great way to get on the net."

Go to https://www.crucial.com and run the system scanner there and it will tell you what your options are. You don't have to buy from them (although their prices are normally OK). You could also have a look on ebay.
RAM would probably still be cheaper than a new PC but it depends if you want to invest in an old machine.It's my problem, it's my problem

And it's my problem if I have no friends
