Can I install 2GB of memory. I am running a Pentium 3 processor. Your advise would be very helpful. Thank you. John

You can get a nice i3 laptop for about $400, that would be 20x faster than that thing. http/www.bestbuy.com/site/Dell+-+Inspiron+Laptop+/+Intel%26%23174%3B+Core%26%23153%3B+i3+Processor+/+15.6%26%2334%3B+Display+-+Mars+Black/3048064.p?skuId=3048064&productCategoryId=pcmcat138500050001&id=1218374275183&AID=10597222&PID=404255&SID=207709&URL=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.bestbuy.com%2Fsite%2FDell%2B-%2BInspiron%2BLaptop%2B%2F%2BIntel%2526%2523174%253B%2BCore%2526%2523153%253B%2Bi3%2BProcessor%2B%2F%2B15.6%2526%252334%253B%2BDisplay%2B-%2BMars%2BBlack%2F3048064.p%3FskuId%3D3048064%26productCategoryId%3Dpcmcat138500050001%26id%3D1218374275183&ref=39&CJPID=404255&loc=01 Anyways, check crucial.com, use the memory finder, it will tell you whats compatible and what sizes your notebook can take.
