Mostly for the fun of it I was upgrading the RAM on a couple of older PCs I have around here.
Once you learn what type of RAM you need, you can get it for cheap at eBay.
I recently bought modules of 64mb 72pin simm such as
here and
modules of 128-mb pc66 such as
here..
OK, I did some googling, this seems to be the actual name of your mobo: VIB804DS, as found
here.
And this is the info about the memory it supports:
Memory
- 8MB to 256MB.
- Two 168-pins DIMMs (64bit) and Two 72-pins Standard SIMMs (32bit).
- Fast Page Mode, Extended Data Output (EDO) and Synchronous
RAM (SDRAM).
- SIMMs Depth of 512KB, 1MB, 2MB, 4MB and 8MB.
- DIMMs Depth of 1MB, 2MB, 4MB and 8MB.
So, looks like it takes DIMMs AND SIMMs, quite the dinosaur.
If you want to obtain some additional info on that system and it is able to connect to the internet, you might download and run the belarc advisor utility which you can obtain
here. It is from the Crucial memory site which lists it as an aid in finding compatible (new) memory on their site. If there is a big price difference, i wouldn't bother with worrying about getting new memory. New memory that is that old, might actually have skyrocketed in price as it may be scarce.
