I have an old memory card.  It says PC100-322-620 -- I believe 
it's 128 K

Went to this place I found in google:

http://www.allmemoryupgrades.com/pc100sdram.html

Have no clue whether this is for HP or Gateway?  Free if you can 
use it.

Hi Don
 Your right it's a Gateway thing with the ram.
Like I told G, I'm not going to sink a lot of money into this. 
I'll use it for know as it's faster then the one I was using. 
( see my reply to G)
  My income is very limited, and I don't use credit cards, I get 
in trouble with them, So my plan is to use this machine for a 
couple three months till I can put away enough to pick up a new 
machine.
Thanks for the info. Walmart is where I was pricing them.
