I hope someone can help me. I bought a 64MB 168pin Dimm for my system. I had a 16 and a 64 already. I took the 16 out and added the 64. It booted up to 80 not the 128 the my system can take. I took my 64 out and left the new one in. It booted up to just 16MB. The person who sold it to me says it is a 64. Any idea why my system says otherwise? Boy did my system run slow on just that one module.
Thanks for any help you can give.

On 16 megs I bet it was slooowww.
Apparently the stick you bought was a 16 meg not a 64, I would take it to a BestBuy or a local computer shop and have them test it, that is the only way to know exactly what it is, if the Bios says it is 16 I would bet it is.

Thanks for your reply Mike. That is what I thought but all I know about computers is what I tought myself with this one. Thought maybe there was something I was missing as there is always something to learn on and working with a computer. I love this site. Been checking out all the pages and seeing what other helpfull hints are located within.

hi mike im running 64 megs of ram,is that plenty for 98se,i was running 95 and it seemed to run faster,IE seems really slow also after i installed mcafee virus software,it seems to me you could purge the cache on IE in win95 to help run faster,jp

Hi John, Win98se really should have at least 128mb ram. And also any virus scan software will slow the computer down. Win95 doesn't have all the features of 98 so naturally it will run faster. Myself, I'm running 128 ram with a 233cpu. It does just fine.

Garys right !!
I would only add that in your Virus program turn OFF everything but the Email Scan, but if you download software Virus check it before you open it and if you share a Disk from someone, Virus check it before you use it. You can clear the IE cache in Tools, Options, Delete Temorary Internet files, I would Delete the Off line ones too, if the cache gets to full it will slow down your surfing.
You will get what you need at Crucial and it will be a good quaility. The 128 you have is probably in the first bank, you may have 2 to 3 slots, adding another 128 will give him 256.
