So I have this horrifyingly old PC, (P4 3.0GHz, 512 RAM, old integrated graphics).
I need to stick with it for some 7-8 more months. So I thought I should add some more RAM to it, since I'm tired of doing programming in a sluggish environment, and am tired of using workarounds like using lightweight-alternative apps.
Here's the CPU-Z thingy:
So, if I want to have like 1GB RAM total, what do I need to buy?
Would it be better if I get a 1GB stick, and use it alongside my current 512 stick? Is it even possible, given the current model/type/whatever?
Aid me, good people.
