re: Upgrade RAM Saturday, November 17, 2001 at 5:56 am Posted by ian (116 messages posted) Highly unlikely . Firstly your motherboard is unlikely to support DDR RAM . Secondly XP will identify the hardware change and possibly disable your computer - thinking it has been installed on a new machine , requiring you to persuade microsoft customer services that you aren't pinching their software . Try to limit hardware upgrades to around one every three months . That seems to be all that xp will allow . I think motherboards supporting pentium 111 and 1v with DDR should be available early next year .Ian.

I say upgrade to 128, then get a powerleap chip or a another upgrade chip. I am getting the pl/p3t it is the fastest and is like 180 with next day shipping. It should be much faster. You should first check if your mother boards bus can handle the speed.

That is completely different to simply adding more of the same .
