you need ram, how much do u have ? keep in mind 32 bit XP will only recognize maybe upto 3.5gb of ram. so you're best bet is to be around 2 gb. I have bought all my ram off newegg.

You just need more RAM. Right click on the My Computer icon, then hit "properties". it will tell you how much ram you have towards the bottom. Let me know what it says.

just incase you decide to go try to buy it from anywhere else i might as well tell you whats going on...

your pc can only handle 1GB of ram and you alfredy have 512 wich is half... so all you can stick in there is 512 or less.. but apparently you need 1gb




what you need is pc2700 ram. 512mb of it
