AGHHH! No bullshit. I just threw out about 128 meg of ram that would have fit that machine!!! About a week too late! Sorry.

Tell ya' what, EBAY. Best bet.

Try your local flea market or Swap Meet.There's always vendors there that sell older Ram chips for cheap.I think that computer has 4 simm slots that hold 32 Mb max each.Open the case and see.If so you can only buy 3 more 32Mb PC100 chips bringing the total to 128Mb.
