Sounds like its the right ram both pc 2700 ddr should fit no problem take old stuff out and try just one stick of new in different slots,

not unusual to have errors on your hard drive if you replace them every time you get an error you will be going thru half a dozen a week,

Dont think thats the make model of motherboard, VIA VT8237 is the name of the chipset and its used on lots of different motherboards, what your looking for should be printed on the board like this circled
You are right! I made it way to hard. I found the specs for the old computer and that is exactly what is indicated. 512MB DDR333 PC2700 Non-Ecc Memory. I am going to take out the old memory and try one stick of the new as you suggested and I will let you know. Great picture by the way of the inside of a computer. So are you saying if I put in the new ram and it still doesn't work it is my operating system? Do I understand correctly that the Ram doesnt really hold the memory only long enough to transfer it to the hard drive. Still learning. Thanks Popeye67.
