I am not a expert but I still think its a video card. I know memory is the best up grade but a vid card is a big plus
I seem to be bumping into 733 meg computers.
I put 512 meg mem and all is ok
but toss in a vid card and performance is really noticeable.
I think even more so then the mem up grade
just my 2 cents.
I was afraid he did have 500 meg memory
I have a PC that has a strange # like that. some chips are bad
my 9 year old has that PC.
I will fix it when it becomes a problem
runs every thing 100 % for her.
I mean how much CPU will sponge bob take

RayB:
Listen, in the days of Pentium 500's, we ran Windows 98 with 32 or 64 megs of memory, and 8 meg PCI video cards. It was more than adequate.

We're talking emulating PACMAN here people.

I have a HP 233
on board vid and sound 64 meg mem

Mame 56 running fine
well Ms PAC sound strange. I just put this together
I need to read back and see what version he is running. I think it was a high number
I like 56 because it was a final version.

You should update your drivers as well....

XP SP1/NO SP will use more than 512mb, that' one of the benefits of the 2000-based OS's.
