Memory Question
I have just installed a DVD burner in my main computer and re-located the DVD reader from there to my kids' computer. That computer is an old TIME machine with an 8GB hard drive, a 500MHz Pentium3 (I think?) chip and 256Mb of RAM. When I play a DVD on it the picture is jumpy and the sound is unintelligible (scratchy and jerky). Is it likely that this is down to the amount of RAM?
Assuming that RAM is the snag........I am unsure what type of RAM is fitted to the machine. Is there a problem if I just buy any old 256MB of RAM off the shelf, or could there be a compatibility issue. The TIME computer was upgraded to its current spec by the manufacturer about 4 years ago.
Any advice would be welcome and gratefully received.
