I'm trying to breathe some last breaths into an old computer my kids <br>
use. It has 4 slots which are currently occupied by 1 GB DIMMS. I <br>
searched a bunch of Dell forums and some people were able to get this <br>
system to upgrade to 8GB of ram while others could only get the 4GB to <br>
work. I don't want to waste any money here, so I'm hoping to find <br>
someone who has 2GB PC 4200 DIMMS they are willing to part with? <br>
