Memory upgrade?

Go to crucial, and run the scan. It will convey you exactly what you have, and what you can put contained by.

Word to the wise:



While memory can be mixed and matched to some amount, sometimes your computer is happier if you just put in whatever you enjoy in the PC at the moment, surrounded by pairs. If you have two slots undo, and two filled, the scan will describe you what you have jam-packed, and purchase those exact same types of modules to add to the other two slots.



Again, you can carry something a little faster, but your computer may protest surrounded by the form of system hangs, etc.



Otherwise, you could replace what you enjoy in the box near new ones.
First past its sell-by date, make sure that your computer can switch PC3200...you might only be capable of get PC133. Go to http://www.crucial.com and select your computer or motherboard capitalist from the drop down box and then the model. It will narrate you exactly what types of RAM your computer can take.
Just walk with the PC 3200. Your system most possible supports up to PC 3200 anyway and like you said PC 4000 is rather more expensive. You will not see a very apparent gain going to PC 4000 unless you plan to overclock your ram.
I wouldnt find 3Gb for a 3 year old comp. Windows stir much faster after 2Gb anyway. For the type of RAM the PC4000 is better but the 3200 will work fine. Remember to get the right type of Mhz or your motherboard wont adopt it.
