Christine,
Yes, you should consider how much RAM your computer will run and how many
slots you have. For instance, my Dell has two slots and holds a gig. When I
got it, there was one stick of 128 MB in it. I immediately bought a 256MB
stick and put in the empty slot. Soon after I got a good buy on another 256
MB stick and had to remove the 128 stick. I wish now that I had bought one
512 MB stick. Then later I could have bought another 512 and not wasted any.
In general, I'd say buy RAM big single sticks.

So, one stick is 512 mg? Do I need to order it through like a VPR site or
can go anywhere and ask for 512 mg of memory ( a stick) of DDR 266 DIM,
184pin, PC 2100 (p/n VPR-XDA512).
I guess what I am asking is specifically what do I tell the sales person I
want? I never bought just memory before. One gig is not alot for computers
now a days is it? Do most newer computers allow for more memory than that?
I guess you need to consider how much memory a computer can hold before you
buy it then.
thanks,
Christine
