WHy do you need cpu fan?
Ok so my old PC is kinda working slow but since i reformatted it, its been fine for now...
i was wondering if the slowing or freezing of my PC before was due to the cpu fan or RAM.
Can anyone give me insights on this.
Specs: Intel Celeron 2 GHz
80GB HDD
256 MB DDR PC3200 RAM
NVIDIA GeForce MX 4000
Im running XP, and i checked my cpu i have 2 slots for DDR im planning to buy another 256MB---cheap =) is it good or should i just buy a 512 and remove my old 256 MB RAM?
Thanks!
Thanks for all your answers!
So how do i checkif my system is compatible to 512 MB ram
or PC400 or up to PC533 MHz ram?

CPU fans are needed because the electronics in the CPU chip (the Celeron chip) generate more heat than can be released into the air surrounding it. It's the same reason you use a fan in Summer, to keep cool. If the chip overheats even slightly, the processor may not work correctly, resulting in the computer locking up.
With any version of Windows, adding RAM will usually speed things up. XP likes to have a minimum of 256MB, but it will have some disk access (swapping) if you try to run multiple applications at once. Adding RAM should reduce that.
As far as upgrading your RAM goes, it makes no difference the size of the individual DIMM(s), if they are the same access speed. If you can get faster RAM for no increase in price, go for it. The separate DIMMs will access at different speeds if you set them up correctly in the BIOS. Of course, if you are going to buy a 512MB RAM, why not just add it to your current 256MB RAM to get a total of 768MB? That should give you a little extra speed as well.
