Question:
Help!! Am thinking of purchasing a new memory stick for my home computer to give it a bit more omph, but am confused as to what I can stick inside the box! I have used PC Wizard 2006 to do a system scan and it came back with these results:

So far so good, but when I went to Crucial Memory it gave me conflicting information, including saying that I don't have an empty mempry slot even though I am 99.9% sure I do
I would be looking to add at least another 256Mb, but might be tempted to stretch to 512Mb (therfore giving me 1Gb) if the price was right!
Can some techno Guru point me in the right direction, cheers
Answers:
Have a look inside your PC or look at the motherboard manual, the scan shows that you have 3 memory slots with two occupied by 256mb chips, its the easiest way to check the number of slotsas the PC scan may be wrong.
Or, google the motherboard and see what details you can find on it.
