I don't think you know anything about computers atall.
Sound like you just need a bigger HDD.
So buy one or delete some games off it, you can always install them again.

Were did you get memory from?

Like Robin says, it sounds like you have a tiny hard drive.

I also have a Pentium 4 with 256MB RAM - I've had it for over 2 years now, and I have a stack of games on it - including several of the latest games. There's no trouble running any of them, and plenty of room to add more.

Look Mr."i know everything",i might not know alot about PCs but what 14 year old does?MY OPINION is that I think that the Pc shouldn't bother making games, i mean, what is the internet for?I f they are gonna make games they should make them online multiplayer ONLY so that you can just go and play the game whenever you want and not have to waste memory on saved games.

Agreed. The best thing for you? Ask for an Xbox this Xmas, games will play well on them things. Want to PC only games? Ask a techie friend to help you choose a stonking great PC. Or alternatively, ask... here... which you have done.

And with that little outburst, there goes any inclination to assist.

Congratulations.
