It should. Adding memory is generally considered to be the easiest, least expensive way to improve a oomputer's performance. Thanks for any info. You're welcome.

I like to use Belarc Advisor to check my system and also buy from Crucial: Got this last April: CT3366903 CT25664BA160B.C16FKR2 2GB UPGRADE FOR A GATEWAY DX4870 SERIES SYSTEM $17.99 2 $35.98 I remember spending over $100 to add 48 kB memory to a Radio Shack computer. Got 10 gB now in my machine, maybe not faster but does not hang on "high memory usage" anymore. |
