You need to know a few things :

1) What type is your memory. Its either SIMM, DIMM, SDRAM or DDR. At a gues wuth you only having 64Mb its probably DIMM memory. It should tell you in your manual

2) You need to know what speed the memory isat the moment in your machine. If you feel confident enough to take out your memory, it should have written on it something like PC66, PC100 or PC133. The PC number is the speed of the memory - you need to get another stick with the same speed

3) If you have a pair of memory sticks (probably 2 32MB sticks) you need to replace the new memory in pairs (2x128Mb) - early Pentiums needed 2 memory sticks

4) If you still can't sort out your memory - mail me your Motherboard make and I'll research it for you.

Hope these help,

Andy
