""I got on pcpitstop's website and ran their xp test. My memory is 248mb Recomended is 128. My CPU is 2000mhz recomended is 300. My disk space is c:21.24gb and recomended is 2gb. My BIOS was created in 2003 recomended is 2000. So it looks like I have everything I need except a brain. HaHA I live in a one horse town so I don't think call a geek will help me much. I do know the school's computer guy so that will most likely be my geek of choice. I'ed like to thank everyone for all the advice. I'm sure it saved me from really getting myself in a mess.""

Sounds like you are ok. Questions is now "Do you feel lucky?"

I would blow out your ram to at least 512mb. It will speed things up. Memory is cheap right now.

Keep us posted.

Can you just buy memory and download it?

I do have to admit it is a bit scary. Time down is money!! But the upgrade would sure be nice.

the only upgrades that I have had go completely SMOOTH are on brand spankin new computers. Never have I not had problems when only upgrading an operating system alone.

actually, memory is hardware that you have to go buy, take the cover off of your computer and install. You should probably have someone do it for you if you are not familiar with it. There are several different kinds and it needs to match your computer. They don't all use the same kind.
