Gonna do that Saturday if my shop has the ram - the mobo will take much more than what it has according to Crucial (I knew but was curious as to what was in it). Can't believe for mucho less than $50 I can get 2 gb. Watching the thing even run makes my skin crawl - would rather watch grass grow. Why would the manuf send a Vista machine with 512 mb??

Funny part, I told Mom I was going to get more ram and she asked what was it? I said to speed up things. Told her all I had to do was slap into motherboard. What's that? I seem condescending to her, as though I'm talking down but she hasn't a clue, so I try and make it simple. "Mom, you have a Volkswagen engine driving a Cadillac, and although it moves, it can be better". She asks, "can I check my e-mail better?"

I don't know near as much as many guys here and have built several PCs. My folks skills ain't so savvy and trying to explain to someone how I'm helping them or what I did to fix a problem ain't my cup of tea I guess.
