I would absolutely recommend upgrading. Not just because of the RAM amount - which you're right is pretty small (and im guessing you meant 128 MB?) - but because Windows ME is one of the worst OS's put out by Microsoft and has a whole slew of problems -_-'
Honestly, If you usually have 1 Gig of RAM, why not go to XP? It's still not top-of-the-line, but it's a good option and the recommended RAM amount is only 128 MB. So if you put 1 GB you'd be good to go. On Oct 28, 2:21 pm, "Elizabeth McCree" <[email protected]> wrote: > The pins got broken because they were put under pressure.
