Thanks for your reply. So you're suggesting that I buy a pair, you
mean 2GB's worth? I just checked Dell's parts and it only costs
$17.99 per 1 GB Module for Dell Dimension 4700 Series System. Now I
would like to get 2, if I can.

Do you know how can I check to see if I actually have room for 2 GB?
Thanks agian.

Why not upgrade the memory in your Dimension 4700? With only 512MB, it
is starved for memory, and probably beats the hard drive to (near-)death
using the swap file (aka virtual memory). You probably have a pair of
256MB sticks of memory, so get yourself a pair of 1GB DDR2 DIMMs,
install them, sit back, relax and notice the difference. The added
memory will get you through the next six months, at least, and maybe
even a year, which is more likely when Windows 7 (aka Vista Service Pack
2 :) ships... Ben Myers

The 4700 has 4 DIMM sockets. With the 512MB in there already, either as
1x512MB or 2x256MB, there are at least 2 DIMM sockets to add memory. If
the system has 1x512MB, either remove the 512MB or pair it up with
another 512MB, in addition to getting 2x1GB... Ben Myers
