i am going to format my hard disc and reinstall my OEM xp
professinal. my notebook originally had 256mb installed.
i have purchased another 256mb chip of RAM just
recently. Is now the time to install the chip?
After I erase the hard disk. then, install the RAM.

And let xp pro do the rest for me.

i think so, but i just want some reassurance.

i will be using the o/s cd that accompanied my notebook,
but i am not going to use the quick restore cd.
 
Hi,

Shut down, install the new stick, boot up. Make sure the system works ok
with it BEFORE your format and reinstall.

Why? Simple, you want to know if it works ahead of time. If there is a
problem with the new install, you will know it is not the new ram.
