Upgrading ram on HP Pavillion 763n
Hi,
I'm going to do a little ram upgrade on my parents computer. Its 7 years old and running XP. Its just getting too slow now
The specs are:
P4 at 2.53ghz
512mb ddr pc2100 (266mhz)
HP mainboard? (Intel I845G chipset)
Radeon 9000 64mb graphics card
80GB IDE harddrive
So as you can see its a little old, I was thinking a ram upgrade would add a nice boost and make it much nicer to use for surfing the web etc.
For HP computers could I simply buy http://www.ebuyer.com/product/38992
and run it with the existing 512mb for a total of 1.5GB and would that add a decent speed boost?
Basically, will that work, easily, just slot it in and it boots, no BIOS updates or anything like that.
Thanks.

Otherwise buying a 1GB stick will be a waste if it can only recognize 1/2 of it.
