Hi everybody!:p

I am a new member and have a query.

I want to upgrade RAM of my computer with following configuration :

Intel P - IV, 1.7 GHz, 400 MHz
128 MB DDR2 RAM 266 Mhz
Board : D845GLAD

I have installed Office 2007 and the system has slowed down very much and invariably get "Virtual Memory Low" message often.:confused:

Please suggest how much RAM can the system be upgraded to and what will be the minimum RAM required for VISTA.

Thanx

For XP with office 2007 - 512MB should be fine. For Vista 1GB Minimum in order to make a usable environment. 2GB would be great hough :p

But remember your Motherboard supports DDR1 and not DDR2. DDR1 is very expensive since DDR2 are used thse days :)
