RIMM modules are what cavemen used to use to scratch into rocks. In my opinion as someone that is very technologically inclined (and taught ace a lot), I'd say you have two options.

1. Don't upgrade - deal with it.
2. Get an entirely new computer. RIMM modules are so old and if you'd upgraded to the largest capacity RIMM module that was ever made you would still be operating slower than moderately timed DRAM DDR1 400 RAM, which is still very old. Newer computers have DDR2 and the NEWEST computers have DDR3 RAM. You'll be a lot better off getting a cheap computer with some DDR2 or something and you'll notice a huge difference in performance and accessibility.

his computer he is looking at right now has "MEMORY 8GB Dual Channel DDR3 SDRAM at 1066MHz - 6 DIMMs "

I recommend building the computer yourself or paying someone to build a computer from parts that you order individually. In most cases, unless you only need a really budget PC, buying the parts individually and building the system yourself or paying someone to do so will end up hundreds of dollars cheaper.

No offence dpm but your kinda late, already told him it isn't worth upgrading RIMM sticks, but he did already order that computer as well :p I haven't seen a RIMM stick in a loong time though.

I hadn't read the posts other than the first page. I fail.

Anywho, I have a computer question for you ace ;) Find the computer company named "KFC". The letters are green. I have a computer by them but can't find any information about that company for the life of me because it's so old. Plays Wolfenstein 3D like a champ though off of Floppy Disk.

What is the max ram that the mobo can use? Probably just a bunch of 2gb sticks.

Lawl, a KFC computer? Are you sure it doesnt say KPC? Because the only KFC company that I know of that even has anything remotely to do with computer sales is a small private business right here in charlotte, nc.
