Re: Slow Computer Response:

Robert

I appreciate cost is an issue but adding 2 x 128 mb will not represent
value for money. When you need to upgrade again it will be dead money.
You should try to afford 2 x 256 mb.

I cannot comment on the source as I know nothing about it.

Just to let you know, I clicked on the non-ECC link above and

with the same thing you intially did Crucial at $265.00 a stick!@!
Oh man, I hope I can fins some allot cheaper than that! I've done
everything you and Gerry suggested but I would still like to upgrade
before I can't. One this is for sure, if and when I do get another
computer I'm going to make sure it has plenty of RAM!@! I thought by
upgrading my hard drive I was making my computer run faster. Just
shows you how little I know.

Comodo is a firewall. Does it detect malware, too? What was the
message?

FWIW, I got a Security Alert from IE (I'm currently on my 98 SE rig
w/
IE 6): "The security certificate was issued by a company you have
chosen
not to trust." Upon viewing the certificate, I found it was issued
towww.sightmaxondemand.comby Go Daddy Secure Certificate Authority.
I wonder if that was something SpywareBlaster did...

I would try an eBay seller who has a lot of transactions and a high
rating, preferably a Power Seller. Item number: 300188450775 is only
$46.99 plus $8.00 shipping (in U.S.) for 2 256MB sticks. And
freshcells
is a Power Seller.

A bigger hard drive will give you more space for data, but that's it.
:-)

Speed is a result of the processor and not relying on the pagefile.

Comodo is a firewall, but whenever I add anything new like when I
started to download and run the test Comodo it gives a pop-up menu
requesting if I want to do this and in this case it seemed to know
that this was a possible malware as it came up all red which it's
never done before.

I've been talking to a guy on the Dell site and although he says when
you buy from Crucial you have peace of mind as they stand behind their
products, but for the kind of money they are asking they better!

He gave me this alternative link for RAM sticks:

http://www.starmicro.net/detail.aspx?ID=679

Have you ever heard of them? He says he's bought from them before and
there were no issues.

So will I be ok with 512 ? If so, and this is what I need I'm going to
order them as they are the cheapest I've seen.
