Thank you.

 

We do have one small problem. Your system by default comes 512MB (512 Megabytes or Random Access Memory) RAM. The *minimum* requirements to run Windows 7 is 1024MB or RAM or 1 Gigabyte (Gig) or Ram. Without physically installing more memory, your system won't be able to run the new operating system.

 

Are you interested in installing more memory?

 

Thank you.

yes, were can i purchase the stick?

There are a couple of options.

 

We could add another 512 stick which gives you 2*(512) , or 1 Gig of system memory. Which just meets the minimum requirements. Or you could add a 512 and a 1 Gig to give you 1.5 Gigs of memory. Or you could install 2 1 Gig sticks to toal 2. Your machine can handle a max of 4 Gigs but I do not recommend going this high as this may cause problems and is an unecessary amount of memory for what you need.

 

Which route would you like to take?

I think you could get away with the 2 (512) but you could install the 2 (1 Gig) options.

The 2 (512)s looks like a winner. Thanks
