    I tried the memory thing on the crucial.com site and it basically said something along the lines of no such memory on our system - which I read as "Your pc is shocking old, please F*"&!! off".

    Fair enough, it is an old 600Mhz machine, but it's my mother in laws and is well up for browsing / email which is all she uses it for.

    Any ideas?

    Many thanks in advance...

    The OP said he already tried crucial.com in the first lines of his post.

    It is just standard PC133 SD RAM, here is more than you can shake a stick at. ;)


    Or from e-bay:

    Gosh - using the link you provided the Ram (at 46 eu or so) from Dell costs more for 256MB than the 4GB!! I just ordered for my current desktop from crucial. I know the ram is a bit old but seriously!! :-)

    Will go the ebay route - will get 512mb for not more more than a tenner.

    Just to say thanks to everyone for the suggestions.
