Took the chip out, took it with me, & had them scan it for a replacement type. That was $45 bucks.
Figgured I'd invest that & see what happened (not too much).
The Linux'/library idea is a good one, tho.

There's too much graphics and ads plopped down on any site today, to let the older systems with less RAM handle any type of net surfing. Used to be, 64 megs was considered a FAST machine.
My first computer in '94 only had 8, out of the box.
Upped that to 32 before I got another.

The Virtual Ram {XP has it - i can't remember if 98 does or not}

It's a section of the hard drive that the machine uses as ram- it isn't the actual memory that you plug in to the mother board.

a google listing about setting it-
have appt soon or I'd find a good one for you - time limited now.
