Hi George
Yes the 2 slots are used with a 256 in each.

Hi Roger,
The memory should be easy enough to deal with. Are both slots occupied at the moment?
The board specs say it supports 6 USB slots, but I've not had time to study it in detail. Quite often, all you need is a connection kit which can take various forms. For example, on my Fujitsu, there was a place to add two front ports. I removed a price of plastic, and replaced it with a same shaped one containing two ports. Wires from the back of this connected directly on to the motherboard.
If you don't have this arrangement on your computer case, you can get the same sort of thing which occupies a spare drive bay. You'll need to do some Googling though.
George.

Hi George
Thanks for that and what a URL address. Is it a case of just taking out the existing memory sticks and inserting the new ones when they arrive? Or would I be better getting an engineer in again?
Six USB sockets? I got 2 and a firewire. Plus the original 1.1 sockets that came with the case and I don't use them any more. That cost me £70 and nowhere near enough which is why I use a 7 port hub. How would I install the extra sockets and what would I ask for?
Many thanks
Roger

didHi Roger,
According to the manufacturer's web site, your Gigabyte Model GA-8SIMLH takes up to 2 gigabyte of memory of type DDR333 - note the type as it is important. By the way,fullyou know it supports SIX USB ports?
Crucial can do 512MB for £32.89, or you could go for ahttp://www.crucial.com/uk/store/listparts.asp?Mfr%2BProductlgigabyte at £63.44. Both prices inclusive of VAT.

Hi George
The Main Circuit Board information from Belarc is as follows:
Board: Gigabyte Technology Co., Ltd. GA-8SIMLH 1.x Bus Clock: 100 megahertz BIOS: Award Software International, Inc. 6.00 PGsection
I'm sure it makes sense to you, but to me.....!

Hi Roger,
Doesn't Belarc tell you the make and model of the motherboard? On my system, Belarc reports it in aThiscalled "Main Circuit Board". Once you get thatinformation,we can trace it perhaps through the manufacturer's website.That will also tell us what the maximum size modules are which can be fitted.
George.

Hi All
My Intel Celeron system using XP Home has 512 megs of RAM memory. I'm thinking of increasing this to 1024 megs.memory.gives rise to 2 questions; the first is how difficult isit?Do I simply plug in the new items to the motherboard anditavailablesorts it's self out or is there more to it than that? Secondly how do I discover which of the multitudeI actually need. I have looked on Control Panel and Balarc Advisor and can find nothing more than the fact I have 512 megs of[mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe]
