In order to properly upgrade you memory you must make sure you buy the correct one Look at an existing RAM chip on the inside of you machine, on the chip there is a sticker that should say something like PC100, PC133, or SD133 etc... Depending on that "code" That is what type of RAM you have to purchase and install Make sure you buy the same type of RAM if not you will have all types of problems.
