If i took the side panels off could i find out what the motherboard is and go from there?
seb182 said:whats the difference between unbuffered and registered?
seb182 said:the program i downloaded said i had two slots i think.
My processor is a 1.4 gig athlon thunderbird i think.
So do you think my computer would be alright if i bought 512 ram extra to go with what i have?
Is it as simple as slotting it in and turning the power back on?

Out of interest, how well does Max Payne 2 run on yours? According to the CPU-Z reading, you can only run 2x AGP graphics and have 64MB support. Even 8x AGP support with 128MB onboard (like mine) is pretty old hat these days!
You could try the old mobo identifying routine. If you pop off the side cover, look between the PCI slots (there should be 3-5 slots around 4" in length and are a grey/biege colour) - there's usually a model number printed in there. Usually something like A7N8X or similar. Sometimes, it may show v1.0 or v2.0 as well....

It should tell you your motherboard make and model in there.

seb182 said:mobo details? no idea what that is but yeah i think i'll go for 2 x 512 from the link you provided griff. ta
