RAM for Pentium II

I am running Win 98 with a Pentium(r)II Processor, Intel MMX(TM) with 32 MB
of RAM. Is it possible to get more RAM for this older processor? IF so, will
it increase my Internet download speed? I ran disk defrag and the speed of my
computer is ok. I am trying to increase my internet access speed. I am using
dialup. I am not budgeted for DSL or a new machine, so I have to keep what I
have. Thanks in advance. Bryan

Ram has to match your motherboard, not your processor.
IF so, will

it increase my Internet download speed?

What speed do you conect at now ?

thanks for your reply.
How do I look up the connect speed?

If it is a brand name syste e.g. Compaq, HP, etc., goto crucial.com and see
what your model needs.

If not a named system, look at the motherboard manual or motherboard and see
what model board and go to mobo mfgr site.

Otherwise, can some times tell from the markings on
existing memory chips but cannot tell if there is a maximum amout for the
board.

Thanks for your reply. I really appreciate your help. My sales receipt says
350 MM buss PII 350. Does this help? Thanks Bryan

Ram will not increase your download speed--DSL or a cable modem will.
However, 32 mb of ram is not really adequate for W98--64 mb is the minimum I
would recommend. Try crucial.com for a price on SDRam.
