More trouble with my iBuddie A900! :(

Here is a link to the Crucial website where you can order memory modules for your computer.

The frist thing to upgrade is the amount of RAM you have. All the newer Microsoft opering system requier at lease 1Gigabyte of Ram to work.. After that consider upgrading you hard disk drive.

This is info on your motherboard:

Your system comes with Intel P4 2.53 GHz processor and 512MB ram. total ram could be 1GB, bt adding another 512MD stick. You have Socket 478 and processor would be up to you. The system comes with a 200w power supply so, in an upgrade, you should up the power supply. You have an AGP expansoin slot and, you could upgrade to a graphics card but again, power supply is only 200w. The system as it stands is not Windows 7 compatible. If you incraesed your ram and got a graphics card, you would get better performance.

Have it checked for malware and virus infections, and optimized. That sould make a HUGE difference.


Friendly, REMOTE Computer Help!

*********** board will support a max of 1GB of RAM. Your processor is an Intel at 1.8 GHz. The preceding is only true if your PC is the Emachines T1840 as you chose in the category listing of your post. Again if that is true, you can achieve the max RAM by installing a 512MB stick in each of the two memory slots.
Good luck.

PS: Gdlkn84as528 is correct in assuming that a less than 1.3GHz Intel processor would be a P3 or equivalent processor. So which is it, it can't be both ways?

You'll need to upgrade your RAM, minimum requirements for windows xp is 512MB.
for the best price on ram go to http://www.pricewatch.com
i would recommend at least going to 1 or more gig.

A replacement computer is likely cheaper than the parts

hi there

i think 512 ram is good for u even i have 512 too.but if u use hi resolution pixel works like software(photoshop or other photo editing )

then 1 gb will be best for u...but u r a normal user of pc then 512 is much sufficent for u....

i want only sugest u for u r processor.....present tine u r using celeron( a slow processor)...

u can use p4 to upgrade u r pc.....and p4 2.8 ghz processoe is best ......or higher

i m even using p4 2.8 (good speed) for all stuff

good luck

start at: www.crucial.com They have very good tutorial pages for RAM upgrades.

Get a new system... Sorry if this isn't what you want to here but RD-ram is stupidly expensive. 512mb of RD-ram is usually a few hundred dollars and hard to find. Since you have RD-ram that means you also have a Pentium 4 processor, probably in the range of 1.2 -1.8 Ghz

Vegas is a great video editing program but it needs way more than speed that that to render a video (in a decent amount of time. it will render on a slower processor, it will just take forever!). You will be much happier of the results if you just replace the computer rather than try to upgrade it.
