is there anupgrade for memory for windows 98

I am using my computer more and more and have already went through all my old
files and got rid of any that I do not need but my memory is still low and my
computer performance is still at like 68%. I do not have the money to go out
and buy another computer right now so is there a cheaper way I can upgrade
this one? Is it even worth it? Thank you

Download EVEREST from www.lavalys.com and run the program.
It will scan your system and report such details as the
motherboard and BIOS details and the types of memory
installed. You can use that information to look-up the
manuals and details about your system to learn whether the
mobo will support more RAM, the size of the hard drive, etc.

You can also got to www.crucial.com and they have a memory
finder that will tell you what memory they sell that will
work in your computer.

Since you are using W98 you may be seeing the "resources"
and not memory. In Windows 98 there are small 64 KB
registers called "resources" that keep track of open
programs and memory allocation (this limited system was done
away with NT/2000/XP which can use all the memory required,
this is one of the improvements). When you run low on
resources the BSOD is very likely.

You might want to go to www.pcpitstop.com and run the XP
Upgrade readiness test (it is also on the XP CD). Your
computer might be a good candidate for an upgrade to XP
(about $100).
