"RAM and stuff"

Right I have a P433, 64MB and about 10GB

So I thought I'd help my computer ran a bit better with some more RAM:

" DIMM - 128 MB RAM, 168 PIN, PC 100 MHz, SYNCHRONOUS. This DIMM is widely compatible. Please consult your motherboard manual before ordering. RAM can be fitted for you in any Special Reserve Shop. 100% backwards compatible with PC66. "

That one for about £20

Now is this worth it?
Is there a chance it won't work at all and will have wasted £20?
Do I really need to contact motherboard people?

Thanks

Easy is good

My computer will be fast

YAY

Installing RAM is arguably one of the easiest things to install.

Remove the left hand panel of your case. Locate your current RAM. Push your new RAM in to place in an adjacent slot, making sure the clips are firmly clipped. If you're hurting your fingers while pushing you're pushing too hard, probably denoting the RAM is the wrong way round. Close up your case, then power on!

Tip, leave your computer's powe cable plugged in, and touch the case before you start, just to earth yourself and ensure you don't fry the chips, as if the chances of that happening weren't miniscule already.

Err okay

So how would I go about fitting this then?

100% chance if you rub your hands over some electrostatic charge before installing it.

Used mum's credit card there and bought some lovely RAM

What are the chances of me breaking computer whilst fitting it?

No, actually SR's ram is pretty fairly priced + they can fit it for you.
Why not ask someone else with a Solo or Mastercard to pay for it and you give them the cash?

Nah just tell me

They don't accept Visa Electron anyway so I wouldn't buy from here

The chances are that most SDram dimms will work with your motherboard but if you are going to upgrade then why not just buy a 256mb pc100/133 (both speeds should work) for around £30 but i should really put were from as it is unfair to sr but if you search on internet.

c.b.

*cough* where? *cough*

You can get ram + P&P for half that.
