Hi George,
You can get memory for just about anything from http://www.mrmemory.co.uk
No, I'm not a reseller, but I have found them very useful <Smile>.
All the best
Steve

Hi Andy,
It's a miracle it runs at all with only 256 Megs in it.
Is the machine connected to the internet, and set up for automatic updates
and such like? It could well be that updates have added services and such
like pushing the memory to its absolute limits.
It might be worth looking into the cost of extra memory, if it's even
available now.
George.

Hi all -
A friend is running an xp service pack 3 machine. He's sighted, and only
really a lite user. His machine only has 256mb internal memory, but was
running ok until a few months ago, when everything slowed down, and it
started taking say about 2-3 minutes for programme to load, or shut down. I
got him to do a defrag and disc clean up, and run antivirus software, but
with no improvement to his problem
The machine is 8 years old. Is there anything else we might consider that
could help speed it up, or is the most likely problem a failing motherboard
in an old machine?
Like I say, it has never been heavily used, and use to perform at a much
more acceptible pace.
Thanks for any ideas shared -
Andy
