way i have 32mb.thanks HENRY.

I copied and pasted that from your other post, which will be locked to avoid confusion.

That's a 486, the fastest CPU you can get for it is a DX4-120 I think. To upgrade to 233 you'll have to get a motherboard and CPU, if the present system has 72pin SIMM memory you should be able to use it in the Pentium. Pentium CPU's are socket 7 and it won't fit in the socket 3 you have now.

A memory upgrade might be good, it depends on how much you have now. If you have 64MB or more, that should be enough for win95 or 98.
