Pay no attention to those other fellows, Barb. Now, memory comes in
megabytes, or MB, not mg. And the size skips from 64MB to 128MB then
256MB, 512MB, etc. And there's different types of memory, such as DDR,
SDRAM and some obscure others, and in each of these types it's available
in different speeds. It would help to know more about the RAM you need
or the computer it goes into. A quick Google search didn't show anything
with the computer info you gave. Is there anything more specific you can
give, a website or info off the front of the PC or the manual to it?

thanks roger. front of computer indicates 64 MB SDRAM, and i currently have
43MHz of INTEL CELERON, 6.4GB HD. i am doing a uni course and computing is
one of the core subjects. i have to run XP and Office 2003 and am finding
the computer is really slow and battling to cope with everything. i can't
afford to upgrade computer so i need to update my RAM. Have tried to
purchase through comp stores in Pt Pirie and have been told they are not
made anymore. I live in outback australia, 3 hours away from everywhere, and
would appreciate any help you can supply. cheers. barb.

What does 43MHz of Celeron mean?

Just ask for PC100 (means it's 100MHz speed) SDRAM and they'll probably
know where to find some. Ask at a computer shop where they may have some
used parts around. Your RAM is probably 66MHz speed, but you can use a
higher speed rating and the memory will automatically clock back to the
correct speed. But don't go overboard and get some big, new SDRAM, it
may not be compatible. Stick to another 64 or 128MB stick of RAM or two,
you should be okay.

This type of RAM is pretty common to find at really cheap prices from
friends, nerds, schools, etc. In other words, NOT a big electronics store.

thanks roger, will give it a go

It means, amazingly enough, that Celerons can run even slower than I

At least it's an INTEL CELERON, and not somebody else's Celeron.
