Of course. Buy some more. It is important that you purchase the correct
memory for your motherboard. A good way to find out what you need is to use
Crucial's Memory Advisor.

Or if you have an OEM machine, look in your manual or on the OEM's tech
support site for yor specific model machine.

really i was thinking more in the mind of free memory but i found out this
afternoon thats itsnot possible because memory cannot be transferred over the
internet and i was thinking of doin it from my other computer to another of
my own. that would have been perfectly legall as well but u cant

I'm sorry, but none of that makes any sense. Perhaps if you clearly
described what you are actually trying to do - your end goal - we could
give you focused help. Here is a link to show what details to include in
your next post:

Even if it could be shared with another computer of yours, the amount of
time in the communication would make it very slow.
 
Memory (RAM) is a hardware device. You buy the correct memory for your
particular computer from a computer store.

Ram, of course can be physically harvested from one computer to
another. As long as both computers use the same type. This means
cracking open the case. You can't transfer RAM over the internet, or
over a network

Once long ago, in the days of Windows 3.11 there were these programs
called RAM doublers, that compressed your RAM, so you could run more
memory intensive programs without plunking down BIG money for the RAM.
They're obsolete now, because memory is much cheaper, and OSes manage
RAM better. And because of the performance hit you take by using them.


PS, Please don't babble, it makes you hard to undersand.

Find out what your board needs, go buy some.

If you have 256 now you might have a hard time finding the right
chips.

Memory is a physical object, not information.

And they were basically scams anyway.

It's not so hard, if you order online from Crucial. You can use the
System Scanner if you're worried about compatability.
