I have to believe that RAM for a computer that old is a dime a dozen on
ebay. Well, maybe a little more, but not much.
FWIW, I have a Pavilion 8380 that I updated to 192 mb ram, but I don't think
you need any extra memory for a DVD player. In fact, I am a little surprised
that it didn't come with one.
What does the DVD player's manual say about hardware requirements? Assuming
you have updated to XP, that chews up a lot of system resources, but if
you're not running anything else, I would think you wouldn't have too much
problem.

what I'm shooting for, but to buy 2/128's @ 66 mhz ram seems to be the sa=
