ur pc is obviously ancient, wot i would do is take out the existing ram take it down to a pc shop and let them tell you what they have that is compatable in fitting for your motherboard, if your not sure just take the bundle to them and ask what they think is suitable and will work.

Yep, it will definitely help. I suggest buying a larger ram than just another 64. Memory is pretty cheap now, but one that old may be hard to find. Memory chips can also be different speeds. You have to make sure the chip speed on the RAM is the same. Also some 64MB memory is PC66 with 70ns memory, others may be PC100 with say 10ns memory. They won't play together well. It also depends on if you are talking about 30 pin simms or 68 pin sdram.

you should be able to upgrade the memory, it will make the PC faster but if all you have is 64mb then it is a really old PC, you may not be able to get memory for it any more and would probably be better getting rid of the PC and getting a new one.
go to http://www.crucial.com and get it to scan your system this will tell you what you need and how much it will cost.
Installing new memory is easy just open the PC and slot it in to the correct slot. As long as you get the correct memory everything will be fine

If you are running with 64mb, you have a very old computer. Your problem will be finding memory that matches what you have. I would suggest that you look at your motherboard or manufacturer specifications as to what type of memory you need and go to a memory manufacturer's site like Crucial to find what they offer. Memory is general better if it's in single sticks or matched pairs. I would not waste money on another 64mb stick to match yours. Instead, get one or two larger sticks. Make sure your computer can handle the total.
Good luck.

you probable received't observe an excellent distinction. Ram has a tendency to strengthen throughput, not software speed. definite your assemble circumstances in CS3 will develop, yet purely less than the right situations. First you want to regulate your OS from a 32 bit one to a sixty 4 bit one. 32 bit OS (like homestead windows XP homestead/professional) will purely take care of better or less 4 gigs of reminiscence (2^32 is better or less 4 billion). save in recommendations once you calculate how a lot reminiscence you're addressing look at each and each and every of the contraptions which have some type of ram on them. Video playing cards, raid playing cards, sound playing cards, replace area(digital ram), equipment ram. all get calculated. so that you've already got 512mb video card, that today limits you to three.5 gigs of ram, plus your probable making use of a few digital ram. so that you're right down to 2-3 gigs of addressing area left, in the journey that your fortunate. with a sixty 4 bit os you've 16 gig of registry. (2^sixty 2 is better or less 16 billion something). you've countless room to operate 3 gigs of ram. 2d, once you upload that ram different bottlenecks have a tendency to pop up. such issues as hardchronic speed, and the front side bus regularly. now that you've lots ram, the speed at that you will be able to move from cpu to equipment reminiscence will educate an issue if it really is a weak link. once you've a sluggish hardchronic, you'd be slowed with information from that bottleneck. my element is in case you imagine that basically with information from including that ram will strengthen your laptop a ton you're flawed. once you've the money, and sense you want an progression in CS3, and a number of your video games.. then flow for it. It received't damage your pc.

I dont think so but its better to upgrade you memory 64 to slow its better if you go like 128 or 256 its way faster then your 64 ram

64mb? is that all you have already? Depending on how much you put in, providing you checked with the motherboards manafacturer that they are compatible. Standard computers are happy with 512mb ram but you will notice the difference with 1gb maybe even 2gb
