It had 1GB memory, IIRK. I bought two 1 gig memory cards and installed them with no trouble at all. Out with the old, in with the new. Also, as another poster said, get that air stuff and blow out its innards while you're at it.

I still have trouble with IE hanging up frequently, but I think it's because I can't upgrade to IE 9 because Windows XP is no longer supported.

I think it's a crime that a person has to keep upgrading Windows all the time.
