Hello again venney

First off, you need to kno what type of memory your mobo uses. Telling me you have a advent 3218 3000+ didnt help me find the "type" of memory. Unless I just didn't look in the right place.
Im sure if you open your case and carefully take out your stick of ram you will see what type it is.
I would be happy with your graphics card

hmmm im not to sure bout taking it apart. i though it was easy to put ram in, i thought u just like slot it in the back or summint.lol am i completly rong then? also is there not a way i can search on the pc what hardware i ahve or summint to find out what type i need? the graphciks card is ok but i cant run the graphicks on games full cos its joggy. thats why i want the ram so i can put every thing up full and make it run liek a beast.
also Hey geek girl :cheer:
i couldnt find the wave so u get a cheer.lol
write back plz.

....ur not helping


MPU-401 may be for sound card...not your ram

Venney.. you have a 3000+ system.. with a 256MB GF5200 Vid Card.. and 512MB of memory.. I really don't think that adding another 512MB is going to make a HUGE difference to your gaming experience..

I would suggest more likely options are..

1. Ensure you have the latest drivers for your motherboard AND your video and sound cards.
2. Ensure that UDMA is running on ALL your drives (in both the BIOS.. and the windows device manager)
3. Go into the display settings.. and change any 3d settings to maximum performance rather than maximum quality.
4. run a defrag, spyware sweep and virus sweep on your system to get rid of any resource hogging programs.
5. Run a copy of 3dmark (2001 or 2003 will be fine) and post your results.. we should be able to tell you if your system is lacking at all.
