Actually, it'd be better to 'build' a new computer rather an upgrading an old one.

Definitely build a new one, that thing you have is a piece of crap, no offense. What are you going to upgrade to Vista for anyways? There should be some serial numbers on your motherboard (they hidden so you have to look for them, ground yourself before you touch anything), record them and type them into google, It should tell you.

Grr, I'm not that smart, I'm 12... And getting a new computer or "building one" aren't options. Would that stick work?

I wouldn't recommend it, that memory runs at 3500MHz speed and it looks like your system memory is running at 2100MHz. I'd find a stick of PC 2100MHz memory if I were you.

Unfortunately, no-one really manufactures PC2100 anymore, so it will be slightly harder to find and possibly more expensive than any newer stuff. You could install that stick of 3500 in your PC, but one of a few things would happen:

1. Your PC won't recognize the memory and fails to boot.
2. Your PC won't recognize the memory but boots anyway.
3. Your PC recognizes the memory and loads it, however, the memory clocks itself down in order to work with your other memory. This is bad. Eventually, that stick will probably fry as it is not rated to run at 2100, it's designed to run at 3500.

Underclocking is usually more risky and damaging than overclocking your hardware. It won't hurt your system if you put it in, but you run a risk of damaging the RAM to the point that it would be unusable.

If you're 12, you really shouldn't be playing Halo now should you?

Need to know your Mobo type and what slot of ram you have.

Its probably just the standard DDR 184-pin, but Ive seen 1.7ghz P4 dells with 168pin.

Halo is an M-Rated game. (For the U.S. anyways)

And thus is determined not suitable for any person under 17.

Yet it does determine the response you get when talking about it.

Case in point:

Truly, get rid of this hyperbole crap and actually give a valid reason.

honestly age does not determine maturity.


Amen. I couldn't step on an ant. And I have no decals or anything, anyway, you Americans and your precious "laws" don't prevent kids from getting the games they wan't.

George W. Bush can come and kill me, but oh, he can't even fight his OWN war.

Then why bother posting in the first place?

And that RAM you've selected - NOT RECCOMENDED.
