Friend has a Tiny pc. It is sluggish running wins XP home. He needs to upgrade the RAM memory. At present it is 256mb. He needs at least 512mb.

Am i right in saying that i need to know what motherboard is fitted to see what max size memory i can fit? Is there a way of finding out without taking the case cover off?

I think there is a website which can find what memory your pc needs after doing a test. Can't remember the website.

Thanks for the reply in adavnce
Problem with having access to internet is that i get asked by many to solve their problems :( Well at least i learn something on the way :D
