After I replaced the Power Supply I had to mess around to get it to Boot Up, one of the things I had to do was pull out the Ram and put them back in one at a time. When I booted it up with 32 megs of RAM, I was shocked at how slow Windows was, at 64 megs it was twice as fast openning apps, at 192 megs it was even faster not as much, but enough to notice. So if you are operating with 32 megs of RAM, upgrade it to at least 64 I would go 128, RAM is so cheap right now and for the performace boost it is well worth it. I got 128 megs of RAM for $30.00. 8 years ago I bought 2 megs and it cost me $120.00. Go to my Install Hardware page on how to install the ram, it is not difficult, just make sure you are grounded ( you don't have any static electricity on you when you handle the chips or work inside the Computer Case ).
