Try this link.

The 4100 has two slots for memory, you will have one 128mb stick pre-installed, so the best advice would be to go for a 256mb stick as it's rather inexpensive, giving you a total of 384, enough for most computing...

$34.19 = 256mb SDRAM, PC133 CL=3 Non-parity

And they even give you FREE UPS 2nd day shipping. And it's great memory!, I have two 128mb pc100 sticks from Crucial that i've had for a long time...!

Installing memory in the 4100 is actually easy, Dell make their cases so that it only takes one thumb screw to take the side of the box off, plus the directions that crucial give you are excellent.

Hey I got another one for you me101 :) When it comes to nitty gritty I tend to get a bit lost :)

I have a Microstar M6167 mobo (worst in the world, no jumpers AT ALL) with 128 megs of memory in the long slot at the top :) (Athlon K7 - 650, tho I think the shop conned me and sold me an overclocked 500 as I never seen the speed get over 630ish)

What type n how much can I / do I put in?

Hehehe, have fun

he he, having fun...

ok, from this page, http://hardwarezone.phing.com/reviews/mb/m...ms6167/6167.htm i see that the memory for this board is

Supports 168-pin unbuffered PC100/PC133 SDRAM (Supports ECC, 1-bit Error Code Correct function)

So according to Crucial, you could just pick any PC100/133 memory that they have...

:p

To add your RAM Is the simplest upgrade in the world...Open your case! Find where your other RAM chip is...there should be a few free slots and slot it in! You don't need drivers or anything....To find out if it's worked then on Bootup your computer should do a memory check....if the number up there changes to the new amount then it's on.

You probably want more detail but I'm not that helpful! SORRY

From a hardware speed standpoint, if you're adding, say, 256M when you currently have 128M, take the 128M DIMM out of Slot 1 and put it in Slot 2, then put the 256M DIMM in Slot 1. It makes a miniscule difference in time, but, hey, who doesn't want free time?

For the price, though, just buy 2 256Meggers and be done with it!

Get Cruicial RAM. There may not be anything wrong with e-buyer but a) You may get low quality ram and b) They may not be trustworthy. Go for cruicial, kingston, or cicero RAM... Its only 10 bux more usually (if even that...)
