Thank you hazelnut, verry useful :)

the scan says i have 256 MB of memory installed and that i can have a full 1GB and for rounded up $50 i can get allot of speed out of my comp, sweeeeet. maybe i will not have to buy new comp.

If you've been running Windows XP on that, you should see a good improvement upping to 1Gb (pitty you cant get it up to 2Gb)

Note:

Disk space, is used in terms of hard drive space IE where you keep your documents and programs and Windows installed.

Memory is the ram (the 256mb you are upgrading to 1GB) this helps when running programs and opening files.

If you also need hard disk space you may want to look into getting another hard drive (or external hard drive).

Need anymore help feel free to post :) Happy hunting Chewie
