1. You need to know what kind of RAM you have..I would suspect you have 168 pin ..what you want to do is open it up, check to see if you have any memory slots available..if yes you can either go get another stick of memory and add it..or..
replace what you have with more capacity..
if you do not have spare slots you will need to remove what you have, buy bigger sticks and add them back it...
main thing is to get compatible memory..if you have something called PC333 you have to get PC333...
clear as mud??...btw, shop around, you will find the memory you need...it is still out there no matter how old...

It depends on how many slots u have. Usually most computers come with 2...however some use 1. If u want to double up, and u've got only 1slot then u'll have to upgrade your ram..if u've got more... just slot it in...Enjoy!

If it's so old you only have 128MB of memory I think you are going to have fun finding the correct RAM to put in there.

is this a workstation? it feels like it!!! i does not say that's going to bypass rather speedy in case you bypass upload greater RAM, even although that's going to purely improve a sprint counting on your RAM velocity, it is shared for pictures memory.

If you have an extra slot you can add another ram chip if you dont then you will have to replace the old chip.

Frankly, I don't know what your objective is, but I doubt you'll be able to do much with a computer that old. If it's just for home stuff, no internet, you may be okay. Otherwise, invest in something newer.

it depends if you have more ram slots open. check your motherboard and see if there are any. if there are, then you don't have to take out the old one, you can just add to it.
