I finally got a roundtoit and upgraded the random access memory in my ancient Dell and it's like I have a new computer. When I bought it it only had 256k of RAM. Many years ago I upgraded to 512k and yesterday made the jump to 1GB.
It's smokin' fast now.
The good thing is I waited long enough for the price of memory cards for outdated computers to hit rock bottom prices. I got two brand new 512k cards for $9.02 including shipping from Amazon.
Plus I cleaned out many years worth of dust and spiderwebs. It was real nasty but it runs a lot quieter after a thorough cleaning.
How many years will a 2002 vintage Dell with Windows XP last?
