Is there an instruction manual anywhere showing how on earth you get an
additional memory chip easily into a Presario 4508? Mine has 16 meg onboard
and a 16 meg DIMM in it.
I am trying to run 98 for my 6 year old son who needs a computer which can
run programs all of which seem to be set up for 3.1 or 95 and this one runs
98 on 32 meg of RAM. I have a 16 meg chip lying around which says on it
PC100-222-60 which I presume will go in (and which is the largest one I can
put in).
But I can't figure out how to snap it into the slot which is hidden behind
the power supply etc. Does the side slide out easily like the similar
looking Pavilion minitowers? (It doesn't SEEM to)
I suppose I might also improve things slightly by putting a S3 or an SiS 4
or 8 meg video card in it to replace the on board 2 meg one
(http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/bpb12296.pdf) or would the difference
not be noticeable?
