Right, heres the deal -

My old computer crashed big time and now I'm stuck on a rubbish acer with only 256 mb of ram (only 224 of tht available Evil or Very Mad

)

My other spec is as such:

3.2 Ghz , Celeron Dual Processor
90 Gb Split hard drive
It runs Direct X 9.0C
Windows Xp
I'm not sure about the graphics or sound card but they seem ok

The Question!

Will my computer lag or crash if I upgrade the ram, and what type and size of ram should I get?

Any replies will be much appreciated as i don't have a clue about computer upgrades Smile

ps: I can't use the ram from my old comp as it's already been thrown away Crying or Very sad

Hmmm, well if you want it to be pretty fast, I'd go for 1GB Ram, but if you want it to be very good for games and stuff, go for 2GB.

Go here:

I just installed RAM today, 1 GB of RAM for $25

You have to open the computer up and put it in.
Go to youtube and type in how to put in RAM.

If you want to be a gamer, get 2 GB of RAM, and a 512 MB video card. Shocked

Chances are it takes DDR2, open it up and check the current RAM stick to be sure. You can also look at the RAM slot, it will be hard to see but it will say the voltage faintly on the socket. If it says 1.8v it's DDR2, and if it says 2.5v it's DDR.

As for how much you should get, for a basic usage machine, I'd say you'd be fine with 1GB. If you want to do any multi-tasking or gaming, definitely go for 2GB.

2GB RAM+Integrated Graphics+CELERON?
