It depends on your system specs. For example XP needs more RAM to run than win98.

i have 319

Lorand · 09-05-2004, 10:16 PM

319 what?

Mulak · 09-05-2004, 10:23 PM

MB of ram

Lorand · 09-05-2004, 10:29 PM

Are you sure? The size of the memory could be only (if not powers of 2) at least multiples of 2...

i have 1 slot of 64mb and other slot of 256mb

Lorand · 09-05-2004, 10:32 PM

So it's 320 MB. That's sufficient, but an upgrade to 512 MB would be recommended.

Fine -- dont buy it -- just like he said.

And Mulak -- CEASE asking half-assed questions -- if you want help then make it easy for people to help you or you'll start to find threads being closed. This has not been the first time.
