    Places I've looked at say 2GB maximum for your machine.
    Can't advise on your other problem.

    Goto www.crucial.com and it will analyze your computer and list what you can install. You can order from there or just bring the specs into a local shop.

    Regarding your DVD, what burning software do you have? Could you ever burn a DVD?:wave:wave

    well my computer had a trojan factory on it cause my friend went to website that was infected. so we had to wipe the computer clean and when we used a reboot disc the disc wasnt set up for a dvd drive i guess. the drive has never been used.

    :confused:confusedSo, the puter isn't able to boot from the dvd drive? Did you set it to boot there from the BIOS? How did you wipe the drive?

    Hi

    What was the reboot disk, more information on what this disk is wll help as some restore disks may not be bootable, and as mentioned above did you enter the BIOS and set the 1st boot device as CDROM?

    Do you have a Windows verison actually installed as your posts are eclectic, they go from adding ram to a dvd drive not working, so their maybe alot to work on here, so in device manager what items have yellow ! marks?

    Describe all the issues in more depth?

    Adding ram is the easy bit, but if you have software or Operating System issues then thats more difficult to remedy without alot more info.

    Again, how did you "erase" it, do you mean format? And are you set to boot CD/DVD from BIOS?

    I think on that machine, enter BIOS by tapping F10, maybe F11, key on startup. Or maybe you get a brief message screen on bootup that says "enter setup"?:wave:wave

    Look through the menus. Somewhere you will be given an option for boot sequence or order. Using the space bar, you will be able to choose boot from from CD/DVD to be first, just deselect the others. :wave:wave
