upgrading your RAM

nope, not at all am using windows xp, my system was manufactured in 2000

Windows XP? I bet the system is running very sluggishly... For Windows XP, you can upgrade to 1GB memory for better performance. But like I mentioned earlier, your mainboard that supports 800MHz PC is likely to be old and be using like DDR memory instead of DDR2 memory... Its up to you though. If you can find memory for your system, that would surely be great. But like what others highlighted, you may want to upgrade the other hardware as its cheaper and allows your system to run faster...processor included of course..

Actually there's no way a PC that old would be running DDR memory. He's most likely running PC100 SDRAM. I know AMD didn't switch to DDR2 RAM until 2006 when they came out with Socket AM2. Intel switched to DDR2 maybe a year or two earlier, but it didn't exist in 2000. Either way it's highly unlikely that a computer from that year could be upgraded to 1GB. Every comp that I've seen from 2000 topped out at 512MB. The only exception were Macs who had a good lead on PCs back then and could upgrade to 1GB.

thanks for your comment, am using intel p3, processing speed is 800mhz, the RAM is 64MB, and the hard disk space is JUST 10gb, men am thinking of buying laptop with an intel duo core proceesor, but until then i want to upgrade this old system, just to add some speed to it, it damn slow for my programming works. i cant do my assigment and project like compiling a java program.

Yeah, he won't notice any speed difference with only an extra 66MHz. I still say adding RAM to a machine that old is a waste of time. It shouldn't even have Windows XP on it. It would run more effectively with Windows 2000 or maybe 98SE.

I have PC100 & PC133 SD RAMs available as I do sell on eBay. In fact I have I think a notch higher CPU than what u hv now, if not mistaken it's a P3 866MHz. But I would advise u 2 upgrade ur whole PC though.
