Hello,

My PC recently told me it wanted more memory so it could run faster. Its cocky like that.

Its a compaq Presario SR5219 with AMD Athlon 64 x 2 dual core 4400+ 2.30 GHz processor

Has 1 gb of ram atm

My "experience guide " is a 3.0

Anyone recommend a good place to get more memory that wont break the bank and what memory should I go for?

It even tells me how to fit it (which I know how to do anyway but its nice to be reminded lol)

Ade

You'll be wanting DDR2, 184 pin DIMM http://www.corsair.com/configurator/system_results.aspx?id=111929 :thumb: Speed wise, whatevers cheapest should work fine for a system like that, but I'd probably spend an extra £5-10 on the higher speed if there was a smallish price gap myself. :thumb: Forgot to mention, I generally prefer sticking to kingston/corsair as I've heard the odd horror story about cheaper makes, it is solid state though so not that much can really go horrificly wrong with it.

Have been relatively clueless on this the past few years but I had to order a new PC for myself recently (currently waiting for city link actually) for uni work, and I'm now up to speed again lol
