Anyhow in the circles I frequent this side of the pond, "more memory" normally means "more RAM" (or working space). If more disk space is needed, this would probably be phrased "I/you need a bigger hard drive". RAM takes the form of "sticks" which can plug into your computer's motherboard. You may be able just to add RAM or you may need to replace it (if every "slot" is full), or you may already have the maximum your motherboard can take. Your friendly local computer shop will be able to tell you if you take the box down to it. Or have you a techy friend who could have a look for you? HTH, Lisi Since we are "two peoples divided by a common language" I recognise that usage may be different the other side of the pond - or even north of the border. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
