Presario at Walmart: Any good?

I bought one to hook into my home network.
The one thing I did right away was add 512 meg of memory, it was really slow without it. Other than that I have no complaints. It is a very quiet machine, compared to my other three computers. The only other things I did was go through and turn off a bunch of services that it had running and a couple of programs it had staring. That plus let Adware and Spybot do their thing. |

The one thing I did right away was add 512 meg of memory, it was really slow without it. How did that happen? I tried adding more RAM to my ****ario and it kept crashing. A long time acquaintance who runs a computer store told me that the only solution was to remove the extra RAM and go back to the semi-original 48 megs. ******* What model Presario do you have? We have a Presario 5245---AMD-K-6-2, 400MHz---that originally came with 96 megs of RAM. We upgraded to 256 megs with no problem. What brand memory do you have? In my opinion, Crucial and Kingston are pretty good, and they are highly recommended on many computer message boards. |

It is obviousally an older Presario, it only came w/ 48 MB origionally. The poster did not supply any info on his Presario, it's quite possible that 48MB is the top, either that or he is using the wrong kind of RAM. Did the OP ever decide to buy the Compaq from WalMart? |
