Hello,

I need more memory, as I'm getting into graphics,
with a focus on the Macromedia Studio MX suite of products.
I used Belarc to id what's here, but can't seem to get my head
around what to order, in terms of memory; nor can I get a
handle on translating what Crucial says my system can take,
as I read what Belarc says my system is.

 From another list:
>Installing memory on any system is VERY easy, and is explained in detail
>at
>www.crucial.com and if you use their wizard, you should be able to find
>the
>minimum and maximum RAM for your system. Also, your system can easily be
>identified by installing the Belarc Advisor, which you will find a link
>for
>on Crucial's website.

Here's what I have:
Windows 98 SE (build 4.10.2222)   Intel Corporation Complete System
Processor a   Main Circuit Board b
1000 megahertz Intel Pentium III
32 kilobyte primary memory cache
256 kilobyte secondary memory cache   Board: Intel Corporation D815EEA
AAA45884-401
Bus Clock: 133 megahertz
BIOS: Intel Corp. EA81510A.86A.0040.P09.0011141019 11/14/2000
Drives   Memory Modules
40.48 Gigabytes Usable Hard Drive Capacity
30.04 Gigabytes Hard Drive Free Space

ATAPI CD-RW 52XMax [CD-ROM drive]
TOSHIBA DVD-ROM SD-M1502 [CD-ROM drive]
Generic floppy disk drive (3.5")

Generic IDE hard disk drive (40.48 GB) -- drive 0   256 Megabytes Installed
Memory

Slot 'DIMM0' has 256 MB
Slot 'DIMM1' is Empty
Slot 'DIMM2' is Empty
   Local Drive Volumes

c: (on drive 0) 3.71 GB 1.31 GB free
d: (on drive 0) 36.77 GB 28.72 GB free

Here's what Crucial's wizard says:
<http://www.crucial.com/crucial/pvtcontent/memorytype.asp?model=&memtype=CHOOSE>

Does this mean that I can put up to a total of 1000 megabytes of memory
widgets
into those DIMM slots?  Would it be smarter if I just went to Intel's site
and looked?
Thanks,
Diane
