Might use the Auto Check here to Automatically check your computer to find compatible memory.

Question before you buy more ram:

Are you saying the game you want to download requires 128MB of ram or is that how much space you need for it to be able to be copied on to your hard drive?

If that is how much ram is required to play the game then you already have that much and don't need to buy any.

If that is how much space it requires to be downloaded and installed, you already have that too and don't any more of that either.

So you should already have everything you need to play but don't get me wrong, getting more ram than 128MB will definitely speed up any computer and I suggest you do get more up to about 512MB. I went from 512 up to 1024 and did not notice any difference at all in any benchmark I ran. I didn't notice any difference in Doom 3 either with more ram. 512MB of is a good minimum number to have of ram.

Also, what operating system do you have, and how many programs do you run in the background? If you use XP, then you will need more memory, as 128 will be used by the OS alone. Also, cut off all of the start up programs that you do not need. Those are the ones in your systray at the bottom right corner of the screen (assuming you use Windows). :diabloanifire:

Good luck :bigsmurf:
