-pops- Posted March 10, 2006 Report Share Posted March 10, 2006 What makes you think you can't install more RAM?If your motherboard has the capacity and you buy the correct type (i.e. to match the RAM already installed) there should be no reason whyyou should not have extra RAM.

CurlyWhirly Posted March 10, 2006 Report Share Posted March 10, 2006 I know that some older motherboards can only take 512 Mb of RAM but I have never heard of a motherboard that can only take 256 Mb.What motherboard is it by the way? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dadyassa Posted March 10, 2006 Report Share Posted March 10, 2006 I think he means that as it is XP will it throw a wobbly if he adds new memory, ie: XP thinking its been installed in a different PC and not working.Click here to check which memory you need with an on line scan.
