Emachine 410 PC Ram/Memory ?

WheresMeNutsWheresMeNuts

Sister gives me her old PC to reinstall windows & basically make it run faster.
The PC is one of those chitty emachines that for some reason never like you to install over there own emachines windows with all the spam etc that comes with it.
Anyway,the PC only has a poor 512mb Ram & going by google it can hold up to 2gb (2x1gb sticks).
I've looked at the prices & was going to get another 1gb,but the cheapest I can find is £18.95 & sounds a little expensive for only 1 gb.
On ebay they seem to be around the same price 270656795548

Any idea if I can use other Ram instead of ram that's named "emachine memory" as I believe that's why it's more expensive.

    It'll be DDR and it is relatively expensive, It sounds very dated, I'd suggest updating to a new pc as putting more ram probably a waste of time, it'll never be fast, I';m guessing the processor will also be very dated.

    Yes the CPU is only a 2.4GHz,but she does only use the PC for surfing the net with Facebook,ebay etc.
    Using the Net means the PC is OK for her,but don't you think the extra 1gb would make it faster ?

    Also the GPU is poor & maybe updating that will help it run faster as she only has the Radeon 9200.

    Would make it a bit faster yes and would probably be ok, Perhaps download crucial scanner and it'll tell you the correct type of ram etc.. Then look on the bay etc..

    Wouldn't want to spend 40% of the pc's value upgrading for 10% extra performance, But will help.

    I agree the PC's not worth much even if it's in great condition,but if the Ram was to give an extra 20-30% better performance on top of that with a 2nd hand GPU then it could be worth it for her.
    I'm just not happy paying so much for a poor 1gb stick.

    How many times are you going to use the excuse of fixing family members PCs to get free advice so you can profit by selling these laptops on?
    shauneco
    DDR ram has always been expensive, never really came down much in price either, Nowhere near as cheap as the latest spec ram, They make it uneconomically viable, Better just taking a gamble with some second hand ram imo.

    You want to insult me,then PM me your address idiot & stop being a weak warrior on the Net.
    Also it's a PC & proves again you're clueless.
    BTW:You know I can't PM you due to you being a weak grass who chits himself.

    Laptop is a PC, you mean it's a desktop? If you're going to get picky about these things then get it right yourself.

    Anyway I'll leave you to your trading of personal computers and using this site to do all the work for you...

    Have you tried booting the restore disc at start-up?

    As PC stands for personal computer & 99% of the population associate PC with a Desktop,then I don't think I need to be clear it's a desktop,unless I'm asking someone from the 1% club like yourself.
    If you want to troll MC you should try & be funny instead of just throwing insults & disrupting threads that you only post in to be destructive.

    Yes I have the original discs & have reinstalled XP on the PC.
    Seems a little choppy on video images like Youtube & I'm guessing this is the poor ram & maybe GPU ?

    It's because the cpu is terrible, gpu is a classic but badly dated.

    And nothing is programmed around being ran by a system like that anymore.

    Give it 6 months to a year and she won't be able to upgrade her flash when the new version hits youtube and then she won't be able to watch videos at all.

    I'm not throwing insults. I'm blank pointing out that you constantly lie about fixing PCs for family members to get free advice out of people on here when actually you're a PC and mobile phone wheeler dealer. Buying and selling for profit. Just be open about it rather than the dishonest approach you currently are.

    He does ask alot of questions, think he should possibly try the ebuyer forum if he's in constant need of help with pcs.

    But doesn't necessarily make him a wheeler and dealer.

    He is, you should see his eBay trades as well as his acknowledgement of selling them on gumtree and his attempts to trade on here which resulted in his banning.

    Oh then.

    Guess I won't be posting any help again then.

    He does contribute to the forum though :-)

    Olympians,ignore idiots like Master_Clown.
    All he does is troll the site & insults you daily.If you offer a PM to him,he reports you because he's a coward who can't hold down a Job.
    He will of course tell you he works from home & that's why he's on this site 24/7 lol.

    As for dealing in PC's or anything else (all false) even if I was I don't have to tell anyone & MC just likes to make story's up.

    MC send me a Pm please bigboy.

    1. You're obsessed with PMs
    2. You're obsessed with "meeting up" with members to "sort" things out.
    3. I work in an office but that's completely irrelevant right now.
    4. I don't recall ever reporting you. You're probably mixing me up with Boothy who had to report you for threatening his girlfriend.
    5. Am I missing anything else?

    Post 2 is correct,but the rest as usual, you make lie's up to make your self feel better.
    I suggest you stop crying & keep out of my threads with your lies.
