You could just go with one 4gb along side the 2gb you have


What speed do you have in now.

From my computer specs I presume 800 MHz ??

1. Support for DDR2 800/667 MHz memory modules

how far is your local CEX with stock?

for some others systems I walked in and picked what I wanted from the box they had.
it was DDR3 so they had more.

.

Many miles away so has to be online only.
Found this on CEX

Would that work? £16 for 8 GB

Yes it would but it's from China.
Not keen on getting involved with buying stuff from there in case there are problems with sending the wrong stuff or it does not work.

Ah! I hadn’t spotted that.

Long shot 

my local freecycle(or similar trash nothing) has plenty of people looking and giving this age tech.

There is a chance someone offloading that vintage if asked.

That's a thought.
Vintage what a cheek !!

Should have been a £30+ spend on an likely fourteen year old device. 
Perhaps you should take note of any debates on your thread; since they are being done on your behalf. Learn from them perhaps.
Spending £100 odd on a relatively outdated device, isn't really sensible when you can purchase a better device overall for the same money and a far superior i5 8th Gen fully compatible with Windows 11 for £200.

Yes, you may be able to repurpose the SSD in another device at some point, but you could do the same with a 250 GB drive. Of course if you are the kind who can fill a 1 TB drive, then excuse my comments. How much space left on it after six years of usage?

This of course from a moneysaving angle....on a website dedicated to saving yourself money.


Your statement about buying RAM specifically for AMD devices from Amazon isn't worth further comment. Perhaps best to just leave you to it.
