My Dad tells me he needs some more RAM in his Evesham Axis 1400, he says it has 64Mb but I think it should have 256Mb in. 64Mb is the graphics card I
hope.
The motherboard should be this: ASUS A7M266:

It only has two slots so I was thinking one 1Gb stick either with or without the 256Mb currently in should perk it up a bit.
I have not got a clue what all the CL, ECC, buffered stuff means. Could anyone recommend a purchase from this page please.

I would love to say this 'old' school technology is too yesterday for me, but the truth is my PC uses PC133 and this new fangled PC2100
stuff is a bit beyond me.
Thanks
only 64mb, if it has 2 slots then id get 2 sticks x 1gb, check with asus for compatabily, i built complete pc using bits from
HERE very quick turn around and after sales advice/help
fully recomended

Thats a bloody good link, one 1Gb stick it is then. The PC doesn't get hard use, 1Gb should be plenty.
Thank you Chris
Ouchhhh at that avatar Chris!
Yeah, you should be getting a 1gb stick of RAM, it shouldn't be too expensive as prices are falling all the time

There is a tool on the Crucial site that will tell you what RAM you need and you can buy online. In my opinion RAM doesn't get much better either
- in 8 years in the IT industry I've never had a failure of Crucial RAM.

asus are normaly quite good at telling you whats compatable
look in the MB manual (download it here: http://support.asus.com/ and get the latest driver while your there )
1 Gb stick from Crucial arrived and fitted yesterday. PC is purring instead of groaning now. Excellent service from crucial.com, £25 - free delivery
- here within 3 days, cant say fairer than that.
Thanks Chaps.
