thank you all for the information. I have the memory upgrade chips coming, they should be here friday. this will get it to 128mbs. of memory. that is the max. they say it will go. that is 4 32mbs. chips.don't know if I will get the processor, might be to much trouble,see how it runs with the memory upgrade. just going to use it for the kids for games,so they stay of the good computer.seems like every time the go online to play games the computer locks up a lot, then crashes. I've reloaded 98 back in 4 times now because of crashes. I have windows xp office edition. if anyone is interested. thanks again.
