Bon bon, if you want to boost the performance (speed of operation) of your computer the easiest and simplest way to do this is to increase the RAM.
What DOA says is only part of the story. Yes the “chip” or Processor is at the heart of the computer and a 2.0GHz processor is clearly not going to run as fast as a 3.0GHz one or a dual channel one etc etc.
The deciding factor in how much RAM your computer will actually accept is in fact the motherboard. Older ones have only two slots (or god help us only one slot) for RAM sticks. More modern ones – say less that 4 years old – usually have 3 or 4 slots for RAM sticks.
The amount of RAM that a computer can use is a function of both the motherboard AND the processor. You ought to be able to fit up to 2.0GB of RAM into even an older computer with 2 RAM slots (2 x 1GB each). Worst case you can get 1 GB into it (2 x 512MB).
If you have 4 slots then you can fit combinations – eg 2 x 1GB + 2 x 512MB giving you a total of 3GB. With 4 slots you MUST match the opposing pairs or it won’t function properly. (Channel A,B,C,& D must be matched so that A & C have the same RAM value and ditto B & D).
I laughed so much on the last on, that my mom gave me strange looks :lol:

The name of this model may not exactly match the model description of your system, our system scanner could not identify a specific model name when evaluating your computer. However, it was able to identify the motherboard your system utilizes.Q: Will my system recognize the maximum upgrade?
A: Possibly
How much memory your Windows OS will recognize depends on which version of Windows you are running. 32-bit versions of Windows will see (and utilize) only 3GB or 3.5GB. To utilize
