In that case you will have to match the new stick with the old stick as in timings...

Download "speccy" run it and it will let you know your ram specs and all other specs on your rig.

Then get back to us..:cool:

dwighet

this is what your after

do you have 1 stick or 2 in there at the moment

That should make it a bit more snappier

Th3B1tcH

2 sticks 1gb each think max I can put is another 2, 1gb each sum1 said must be pairs ? also no wireless in it

dwighet

Right so....What you need is 2x1gig sticks of what I posted...not the 1x2gig stick....

Go into Memory c website and look for there memory configurator... Put in your pc(dell inspiron 330) and it will tell you what you need....I am about to crack a bottle of Jamison so wont be any good till tomorrow afternoon...slain>:cool:

Th3B1tcH

any where I can buy both the speakers and memory (2x1gb sticks tink best 2 go with ? ) need them cheap as possible and PP if 1 can (although I can use a debit card)
ty for all the help
