Also, i would reccomend keeping your eye out for 512mb of ram, it should be cheap enough to find and should definatly help
EDIT: or another stick of 256mb so that it adds up to 512mb, seeing as it seems your only using 1 RAM slot you should have 1 or 2 free slots to put some more into.

ok, thx for ur info
by the way, i still have 3 more free ram slots left(1 ddr, and 2 sdr)
if i am going to buy a new ram to run dual channel, do i need to aware of its speed and size???
do i have to get a 256 PC2100??? or any others are fine??
sry for asking so many questions~~
