Hi:
Placed a tech call to Gateway today regarding lockups on my system when
trying to open programs - basically Printshop, MS Money, MS works and my
E-mail all lock up when trying to open them. They have determined that I do
not have enough RAM. I only have 64 MB but that has always been sufficient
before and I have recently cleaned up a lot of stuff on my computer and
deleted programs and files so I do not know why it is all of the sudden a
problem. Anway, they gave me the option to buy more RAM or reformat my hard
drive. I do not want to get into reformatting the hard drive.
They gave me a price of around 80.00 for 128 MB of RAM. I am seeing it a
lot cheaper on E-bay. If I open the case will I be able to tell what I need
to buy by looking in there. (I see there are a lot of different options on
this RAM in regard to number of pins, etc. ) I have a pentium II 400 mhz
processor. I am giving the computer to a relative to use as I bought a new
one so I don't want to spend a lot of money on it (or time).
Will I need to take the 64 MB chip out or can that stay in in addition to
the 128 MG chip.
Any information would be appreciated.
Thanks
Kay
