12554	2001-05-13 07:54:00	I have 8MB ram at the moment which is not enough. How much will it cost to top it up to 32MB. Any ideas how to install it? Where can I get the hardware from?	Guest (0)

You should also top it up to 64 meg.Dick Smith, Noel Leeming and those type of stores will not have it as they are only a supplier. They will only send your computer away to have the upgrade done.

Obviously buying the 8Mb blocks is the cheaper option providing you have enough spare RAM slots. It would pay to check your motherboard book to confirm the RAM type and ensure there are no special configuration requirements for installing it. You will also need to physically confirm how many blocks are presently fitted to your computer (ie. 1x8Mb, 2 x 4Mb) and how many slots are free.
