<p>I'm trying to upgrade the memory on my PC. Are there any good brand of memory you guys are familiar with? I see a lot of tempting, cheap brands, but should I hold out for a more reliable brand? I need to get SDRAM, I've heard kingston is good...</p>
<p>don't go generic. go with kingston.</p>
<p>since SDRAM is so expensive now, why don't you just buy a new computer?</p>
<p>Well how old is this computer? Are you using it for gamming or just wanting to speed it up a tad?</p>
<p>I just want to speed it up. It's a Dell dimension 4100, and it came with 128 MB RAM.</p>
<p>And I'm only going to be using it until the end of the schoolyear, when I go to college I'm getting a new laptop, so I'd rather upgrade memory than buy a new desktop right now. I do see the logic behind your comment, though.</p>
<p>I dont think upgrade the memory will make too much of a difference. The processing speed for a dell 4100 is only around 1 GHz....so it not worth upgrade....but if you want to, get kingston or Dell.....and it will cost you about $30 for every 128 Ram...you can also look into the used parts on ebay...may be you can save some money that way..</p>
<p>yeah I just found some good deals on Ebay.
My system worked great until I installed xp. Now it's between finding a copy of windows 2000 (I don't have the original) to trying to add memory to help.</p>
<p>yeah, windows xp needs arond 256 mb of Ram to run smoothly..</p>
<p>Yeah, tell me about it, lol</p>
<p>128MB is required to run XP, though you might beable to pull it off with a stick of 64. No doubt, bump it up to a 256, maybe 512 if you can get it in there.</p>
<p>Yeah, I just found 2 Kingston 256MB SDRAM cards on ebay, and got the highest bid at about $40 for both as a package. Pretty sweet.</p>
