WEDNESDAY, Feb. 2 (HealthDay News) -- U.S. teen birth rates showed notable decreases throughout most states and across all racial and ethnic groups from 2007-09, federal researchers reported Wednesday.
Forty-five states reported significant declines in births to teens 18 to 19 years old from 2007 to 2009. Thirty-one states also reported fewer births to 15-to-17-year-olds in that time period, according to preliminary data analyzed by the National Center for Health Statistics, a division of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
The overall teen birth rate for 2009 -- 39.1 births per 1,000 teens ages 15 to 19 -- was the lowest since record-keeping began nearly 70 years ago, the CDC first reported in December. The downward trend has remained steady since the early 1990s except for two years, 2006 and 2007.
Northern New England states and the intermountain West reported the steepest declines in birth among teens 18-19 from 2007 to 2009 -- 27 percent for New Hampshire and Vermont, while New York, Louisiana, and New Mexico saw smaller, but still significant, dips of 5 percent.
Birth rates for younger teens (15-17) dropped the most in the Southeast and the intermountain West, with rates in Arizona going down by 20 percent.
West Virginia was the only state where teen births in that age group rose significantly -- 17 percent -- during those years.
But despite recent notable declines, the United States still leads the developed world in numbers of births to teenagers, which concerns public health officials.
Teen childbearing carries significant risks. Babies born to teenage mothers are more likely to be of low birthweight or preterm than infants born to older women, and they have a higher risk of dying during infancy, the report says.
Additionally, it's estimated that teenage parenting costs the public $9.1 billion a year.

Four students take alternate paths to graduation
Emma Garcia • traditional high school
Plenty of high school seniors challenge themselves by juggling Advanced Placement classes, sports and community service.
But Emma Garcia's path is remarkable considering she arrived eight years ago from Oaxaca, Mexico, speaking no English, but carrying a drive to succeed.
"When I was in fifth grade and didn't speak English, this student came to talk to us about how she'd been in AP classes, so I (said), 'I want to do that, I want to be able to go back and tell my story,' " said Emma, 18, who graduates Thursday from San Marcos High School.
Counselor Janet Paul said transferring academic skills to a new language typically takes five to seven years; Emma did so in three. The inquisitive Emma, who is well-respected among peers and teachers, reached out for help in every class.
Emma said her cross country and track team experience gave her confidence and was crucial to her academic success. "Running teaches you such mental discipline. You know you're not going to stop short of the finish line."
Community service rounded out Emma's time: She launched a club and served in a prestigious ambassador program.
Emma will be the first family member to attend college. She was accepted at several universities, but is starting at Palomar College to save money.
"Most of the colleges cost more than my parents make a year," said Emma, who has her sights set on the University of Southern California to pursue social work and law.
Michelle Breier • U-T
Kevin Groarke • online school
Kevin Groarke was the first student to enroll in iHigh Virtual Academy two years ago and is graduating as the school's valedictorian with a 4.03 GPA. For Kevin, the online program was a perfect fit, allowing him to accelerate his education and take classes he was interested in.
The 17-year-old finished his degree requirements in November and already is taking community college courses. Kevin said he decided to transfer to iHigh because he was missing a lot of classes for medical reasons at Scripps Ranch High School, which he attended until sophomore year.
He completed most of his online school work at home, although he did go to the school's Old Town campus for tutoring and to take proctored tests.
"I took AP biology and that's helped me figure out what I wanted to do in college and what I wanted to major in. I got to take a lot of classes that interested me," he said. "I want to work on tissue engineering. That's like a bioengineering degree. I want to get a PhD."
Kevin is one of 18 seniors graduating from the school, which serves ninth through 12th graders and was launched as a pilot program by the San Diego Unified School District in 2008. The program appeals to students with jobs, including actors and young athletes, those with medical issues and others looking for alternatives to traditional campuses. The school has 70 full-time and 500 students enrolled in other schools who are taking classes at iHigh.

I made this as a project for my computer class. It looks like that because that was the theme i had to represent. I love it! it looks really cute!
Start by drawing a big circle
i did this in paint.
draw an inner circle, the space in between is going to be the body
draw another inner circle. it's gonna be the head
with the curvy line, draw the neck
once you've drawn all that, draw a diameter
draw two little lines a little bit below the diameter and conect it like in the picture.
draw a line from the center of the head to the outter circle.
once you've done all that, print it out.
draw the wings, body and head, add features.
cut out the circle
cut along the line in between wings and get rid of the black part.
to ensemble it just cut half way down from one side and half way up on the other where the body ends.
and voila! staple if needed. and happy holidays!!
I made some of these today, they are slightly different to yours but I followed your how-to. I've posted it as a version and I'm waiting for approval. I hope you don't mind :D
So this is where my brother got the idea. He said he found it on this website. Now our house is now full of these angels. I'm glad he found this.
i like it ^.^
I like this, it's very cute and very cheap to make if you aint got an angel to put on the top of your tree or something.
when i was a kiddo we make them too, love this.

With two projects in the can and maternity out of the way, Jennifer Garner is ready to go back to work and spread her sweetness into a political satire.
The Alias gal is attached to star and possibly produce Butter, a comedy set in the microcosm of competitive butter sculpting. She would be reuniting with Mandate, one of the production companies behind Juno.
According to the Hollywood Reporter, the story (by first-timer Jesse Micallef) follows a young girl adopted by a Midwestern family who eventually discovers her talent for butter carving. At her town's local contest, she faces tough condiment competition in the ambitious wife of the former champ. Craig Gillespie (Lars and the Real Girl) and Gary Ross (Seabiscuit) are potential directors.
Garner's Ghosts of Girlfriends Past opens next month.
Diane Keaton, Jeff Goldblum, Maria Bello, Samuel L. Jackson and Michelle Kwan score some casting glory as well...
• Keaton and Goldblum have signed up to get lost in J.J. Abrams' Morning Glory. The pair join Harrison Ford and Rachel McAdams in the film about an ambitious young producer who tries to save an ailing morning show. In order to do it, she must seize control of its clashing anchors (Keaton and Ford). Goldblum plays McAdams' boss.
• Bello is in final negotiations to play Kevin James' wife in an untitled Adam Sandler-produced comedy. In addition to James and Sandler, the high school friend reunion flick includes Chris Rock, Rob Schneider, David Spade, Salma Hayek and Maya Rudolph.
• After a seven-year hiatus, Samuel L. Jackson is set for his fourth go-round as host of the ESPY Awards on July 19 at the Nokia Theatre in Los Angeles.
• Olympic figure skater Michelle Kwan will be making a cameo in the upcoming remake of 1978's Ice Castles.

(One of a series of articles about growing fruit trees
in Samoa, written by Digby Gotts and published in the 'Samoa Observer'
between December 2000 and April 2001)
I actually went and bought some supermarket oranges a while ago as they
looked so inviting. That bright orange colour is a real attention grabber,
and just shouts "Eat Me!" Unfortunately, these brightly coloured
fruit are most likely to have been picked many days or weeks before you
see them, and have often become over-ripe and are starting to develop
odd flavours.
Sadly for Samoa, oranges grown locally cannot develop that bright orange
colour as it is simply too warm and wet for the skin to dry out enough.
In dry areas or high up in the hills where it cools down you can find
orange trees with brightly coloured fruit, but down on the coast the colour
can rarely develop. Walking to the top of Mt Silisili just to harvest
the crop of good looking oranges could be a bit silly, so Samoans can
either get used paying for those imported and often over-ripe fruits,
or just adapt to the idea of eating green oranges. Bright green and fresh
oranges can be fully ripe and have far more sweetness and flavour than
those elderly but bright orange ones.
Test for ripeness by gently squeezing the fruit. You should be able to
dent the side without much force and it should spring back again. (If
you put your finger through the fruit, please pay for it. Don't
just put it back on the shelf, hoping you weren't seen!)
Local oranges can grow from seed, producing slightly sour, small fruit
on a very prickly tree. Grafting a small bud from a good quality tree
onto a seedling lemon or local rootstock is the more usual way of growing
oranges. These rootstocks are disease resistant and can still keep the
bud alive and growing. This trick was discovered by Chinese several thousand
years ago and is still the main way of growing many of the oranges, mandarins
and grapefruit today. The catch with this trick is that the original seedling
keeps trying to grow new shoots. These are often stronger than the grafted
bud and must be removed. If the owner of the tree is unaware of the battle
going on, the orange will be defeated by the rootstock, leaving a lemon
in its place. I often hear in Samoa of people picking lemons from what
they bought as an orange tree, and blaming the seller of the tree for
cheating them. A little knowledge can be a big help when you want good
Another good trick to learn about growing oranges starts when you notice
how the bunch of fruit is always at the end of a branch. So the more branches
you have, the more oranges you can get. Encourage more branching by cutting
the end off each branch in winter. Each cut end will then grow 4 or 5
new tips, each of which will flower and produce a bunch of fruit at the
end of summer. Ideally, give your tree a haircut every year after harvesting
the fruit.
Some of the orange varieties available at Nafanua that grow well in Samoa
include Late Valencia, Kona, Parson Brown, Pineapple and Rarotonga. These
have usually been budded onto a rootstock with a different shape of leaf,
so it's easy to see which is the wrong growth, and break them off
as they appear. Contact the fruit team at Nafanua if you would like some
more detailed information.

Focus on Dalian - Issue 28
May / June Issue
COMMUNITY & THE ARTS / W e Westerners come to China to teach for a variety of reasons: to experience an adventure of a lifetime, pad our r�sum�s, explore natural or historic scenery,escape a dead economy or a dead-end job, awaken our spirituality and be meaningfully involved in an emerging culture, to name a few. Loved ones back home worry about us. In their minds, the longer we remain ensconced in Dalian, the less likely we are to return to our homelands. It is true that some of us have `gone native,' signing extended leases and making lifelong friendships with special Chinese people near and dear to our hearts. Perhaps our families' and friends' fears are well founded. Why do some foreign teachers survive and others throw in the towel? Clearly, those who succeed a year or two of teaching in China with good marks have proved themselves to be self-reliant, resilient and adaptable. But there's more at work here than surviving laowai boot camp, for more Westerners have grown and continue to grow more comfortable in China, especially in Dalian, whose 24 universities ensure steady employment for qualified teachers and, yes, even those not qualified but willing and able. Expatriates in Dalian have at least one thing in common: China has gotten under our skin, allowing us to not only tolerate ambiguity, but deal with it as an evolved art form `with Chinese characteristics.' If Austria is a Viennese waltz, and Brazil is a sizzling samba, China is freeform musicplayed with ancient instruments. The dawn28 ing of each day brings new opportunities to discover things--not in any analytical or organized way that Westerners might expect--but in a slapdash, quirky, mercurial way. Chinese life is definitely haphazard on the surface, yet underneath the chaos is an ageless tenacity that endures. � The students and their culture "value education in general and teachers in particular."Most students are eager to learn, "their minds like sponges ready to soak up what I have to share." � Chinese administrators of Dalian universities are "open to new ideas,""willing to integrate Chinese and Western faculty for the betterment of academics," and "appreciate foreign teachers for what we can contribute." � Colleagues were like "friends from the start" and "provided a feeling of camaraderie and neighbors away from home." � Personal fulfillment statements abound, like "I'm making a difference here every day" or "this is where I am meant to be right now." � Dalian environment is "not too hot, not too cold, just right," although some noted that the environment here is not as clean as it was even just five years ago. It would be nice to think that we were all drawn here for a purpose. After all, it is said that people want to be part of something greater than themselves. What that greater purpose is, no one can state. We can only say that a wonderful assortment of educators is assembled in Dalian, only some of whom wonder what lies ahead. In the meantime, we can keep in mind that living in the moment is its own reward. After all, the Great Wall wasn't built in a day. No `method-in-their-madness' explanation exists. Day-to-day life here can be enchanting or downright impossible to decipher, like scribbled notes across the I Ching. What is the glue that makes expats stick around Dalian? Asking this question of colleagues brought a variety of answers: | focus on dalian | may - june 2012 �������� VAPORIZING RARE AGARWOOD One of the pleasures of working with Focus is that you get to see interesting places and meet interesting people around Dalian. Recently we were introduced to a very ancient form of `aroma-therapy'. Agarwood is resin-rich heart wood that develops in response to certain types of mold infections. Small portions of this rare and fragrant wood are vaporized using a glowing ember buried in ash in a small cauldron. The cauldron is passed around and the vapor is inhaled. The result is a remarkably tranquilizing effect on body and mind.

The event showcased two artists: Libin () and Dorian Malovic, Chinese and French respectively. The former is a famous local painter, renowned for the complexity of his works. The latter is a writer, photographer and journalist from Paris, best known for his analysis of Chinese culture. The concept was actually to introduce France from a Chinese point of view and then to introduce China through the eyes of a French citizen. The French singer Frederick and his band, Fooled, were also 32 present for this special occasion and played popular songs, adding some party flavor. Also, typical French pastries such as croissants and brioche were available, along with some fine wines in order to please the connoisseurs. This cultural exchange drew the attention of over 180 spectators for the opening day and, without the shadow of a doubt, was the place to be to celebrate the friendship between these two countries! Far away from the usual clich�s or stereotypes, this art exhibition recently moved to France. Let's hope it will have as much success there as it had here in Dalian! 317 Dorian Malovic Dorian Malovic Frederick 180 | focus on dalian | may - june 2012 Movie Review Real Steel MAY - JUNE 2012 | FOCUS ON DALIAN | 35 40 | FOCUS ON DALIAN | MAY - JUNE 2012 MAY - JUNE 2012 | FOCUS ON DALIAN | 41 Jazz in Dalian (part 2) By Bas Overtoom EAP - EMPLOYEE ASSISTANCE PROGRAM 68 | focus on dalian | may - june 2012 ---- (EAP) EAP 500 90%EAP EAP EAP1 5-16 Contact: Joven Zheng, Psychological Counselor Email: email@example.com Blog: http://blog.sina.com.cn/babyjoven may - june 2012 | focus on dalian | 69 By Axel Right FD: First of all, can you tell us whatCrossFit is? R: According to the official CrossFit (CF) website, CF is the principal strength and conditioning program for many police academies and tactical operation teams, military special operation units, champion martial artists, and hundreds of other elite and professional athletes worldwide. CrossFit is becoming more and more popular around the world, especially in the Western world but as usual, the official information, and reality differ. FD: What do you mean? A: He means that CF is not just for policemen or for well-trained super soldiers; no, I assure you that CF is for everyone. No matter what your age, sex, weight or religion � there is just one thing that is necessary to join the CF-team... FD: What is that? A: You should stop fearing your weaknesses!Many people won't do anything new, difficult or unpredictable because they are afraid of failing, being ridiculed by other people or wasting time in vain. When you realize that taking care of your health is in your hands, you can start doing CF with us and CF will make you faster,more flexible,more self-confident and much stronger. FD: What about you two? Have you become faster, stronger, wiser or maybe richer? R: When I started doing CF I realized one terrible thing about my past, "I have wasted so much time". I say this because normal gym-workouts and playing sports do not compare to CF, in terms of the positive influence it has had on me. Instead of doing active training for 20-30 minutes, my friends and I spent hours in gyms. We believed that our mere presence in the gym would automatically make us stronger and more handsome. It was the most immature delusion in my life (except that time in my childhood when I thought that sparrows are the offspring of doves). Now I do CF five times a week, 30 minutes per day, and it's enough to achieve the results I need. FD: What about you, Alex? A: I can't say that I have become wiser... R: He has, he has... A: But there's no doubt that I'm in the best shape that I have ever been in my entire life. I have not become richer, because we don't make money from CF, yet, but soon we will open a CFgym in Dalian and try to attract people. We believe that people will see the advantages of CF and join us, especially expats living here. FD: But how can you train people without experience, do you know what to do or do you just rely on the inexperience of trainees? R: Who said that we have no experience? Every Saturday morning and every Sunday morning we train a group of Chinese teenagers. There are more than 20 people in this group... FD: But you said that you don't make money on CF;does that mean those children don't pay money for the training? R: This training is given free of charge. Our good Chinese friend, Freddie, is the most effective SanDa coach in Dalian (SanDa is a modern Chinese form of Martial Arts). Freddie works for the Dalian government and one of his main tasks is to look for children from poor families, or orphaned children. Then, if the parents agree, Freddie takes these children to his "SanDa Center" where they live and train for free. 80 | focus on dalian | may - june 2012

Spectral analysis might be easier than you think.
Run the spectrum you wish, then look up glycin in a table of spectra. Compare them. If they match, you are ok. If they are similar, it is probably impure glycin, and if they are totally different, you will know you don't have glycin.
The ascorbic acid method looks interesting to me.

Konami Hints at Kinect Support for PES 2013
By Matthew Bennett, Associate Editor
Posted on June 14, 2012 AT 08:16am
Posted on June 14, 2012 AT 08:16am
Konami has hinted that the Xbox 360 version of Pro Evolution Soccer 2013 could include Kinect support, suggesting that players might use the hardware to substitute players.
"FIFA has implemented the option to give instructions to players by voice using a Kinect feature," PES 2013's marketing producer Manorito Hosoda told VideoGamer. "But we think it is not such an intuitive control. Kinect may be used in PES for substituting players. It is just an idea that it can be used for substituting players in the game."
Konami PR clarified its position when further questioned by stating that the game "could" have Kinect support. Considering the game is only a few months away from release, I would hope they knew for certain.

By James Slater: The way hes going, Scottish hero Ricky Burns will soon become a global boxing hero. Now the claimant of world titles at two weights, super-featherweight and lightweight, the 28-year-old has gone from strength to strength in his storybook career.
It all started for Burns back in September of last year, when the boxer from Coatbridge upset the odds in a big way by out-pointing unbeaten Puerto Rican star Roman Rocky Martinez. That win put the tall 130-pounder well and truly on the world stage, and three retentions of his WBO crown followed. Last night, in his 135-pound debut, against the most formidable opponent of his career, Burns really proved his talents. Tough, relentless Australian warrior Michael Katsidis - known as The Brit-Basher thanks to his U.K stoppage wins over Graham Earl and Kevin Mitchell - was thought by many good judges to be too strong for Burns; even a step too far. But no, Burns boxed magnificently last night, handing The Great a wide points defeat.
The sky truly is the limit for the Scot right now as a result. The new weight clearly suits Burns well, and there is even talk of him one day going up again; this time to light-welterweight. Unbeaten since way back in early 2007, when the body shots and the relentless pressure of Carl Johanneson got the better off him over 12 all-action rounds, Burns seems to be at his peak now. This is a good thing, seeing how the lightweight division Burns has invaded is a talent-rich one.
Possible dream fights against the likes of Brandon Rios, Antonio DeMarco and maybe even Juan Manuel Marquez are not entirely out of the question, and then there could be some massive fights for Burns up at 140. It may be easy to get carried away where Burns is concerned, but his recent form really does suggest he could become a great in the future. The better the guy in front of me, the better I perform, Burns says. So far, hes more than proven that.
As for 31-year-old Katsidis, now 28-5(23), he again gave his all in a fight, coming on strong in the later rounds at Wembley. Not one to make excuses, Katsidis did acknowledge how his making 135 hurt his performance somewhat. That was always going to be the question, said the warrior who had his last fight up at 140. Maybe the light-welterweight division is where further glory awaits the fan-friendly operator.
Katsidis, who says he suffered a perforated ear drum in the 1st-round last night, refused to take any credit from Burns, and he won more fans as a result. How much has Katsidis got left? With his electrifying style, Katsidis has enough left to at least challenge for one more major title I feel. The idea may seem more than a little brutal to some, but Id still pay good money to see the Toowoomba tough guy in there with either Marcos Maidana or Lucas Matthysse.

As young men start to parade in their underwear in front of old guys with notepads, here are ten things that all the NFL types are talking about before the fun and merriment of the Combine in Indianapolis kicks in this weekend.
Everyone will be talking about the workout of …
Pitt WR Jonathan Baldwin, North Carolina WR Greg Little and Maryland WR Torrey Smith. Georgia's A.J. Green and Alabama's Julio Jones are the franchise receivers in the draft, and there will be plenty of discussion about where Boise State's Titus Young, Kentucky's Randall Cobb, Troy's Jerrel Jernigan and Indiana's Tandon Doss will go in the pecking order in a mediocre draft for receivers, but Baldwin, Little, and Smith are about to help themselves immeasurably.
Little, a former running back, has fallen off the map a bit after not being on the field since the 2009 season, but he has been working for this week and should come out roaring. He has 6-3, 220-pound size, good enough speed to be considered more than just a possession receiver, and the leaping ability to make him an even bigger target. After already owning up to his mistakes off the field, he should be more than ready to answer all the character questions without an issue in the interviews, while he'll be strong enough and quick enough in the drills to make some team think hard about what he can do as a big, tough No. 2 target.
Maryland players always seem to rock the Combine, and Smith will be the next in line. He has good 6-0, 200-pound size and should be phenomenal in the 40. He can move well enough to be a threat to rip off a sub-4.4, and he should blow the doors off the shuttle and cone drills. Known as a strong blocker, if he runs well, is fluid in ball drills, and comes up with a good lift in the weight room, he could be a must-have pick in the second round.
6-5, 225-pound Baldwin needs a bit of work and has to become a better route runner, but his workout will be enough to make scouts going back to the film to give him an even longer look. Even at his size, he's quick, should hover around a 4.4 40, and has the length, the vertical and the arms to make any jump ball grab over a defender. He's a deep threat who should be great around the goal line, and he'll show off all the tools this week.

Course celebrates 15th anniversary as spot where golfers have fun and avoid frustration
To combat the problem, the course recently purchased a $60,000 drill-and-fill machine, which can remove the poor soil and replace it with more nutrient-rich organic material. It's a technique that will address the low-lying areas on the back nine, specifically Nos. 15 and 16, where it's tough to grow grass.
This turf rejuvenation initiative is just one piece of a larger $1 million renovation project the course is set to embark on in the coming months.
The project will also include reshaping bunkers, upgrading the driving range, and improving the clubhouse. Bickler, the original architect, will return to head up the course improvements.
"As with wine, I think this place is getting better with age, but we want to make sure it goes into this next evolution gracefully," Johnson said.
Mason knows it will. He has been at the course since the beginning and has seen the joy it has brought to people who tee it up here. Having started the junior program, he has worked over the years with thousands of kids, many of whom still play the course regularly.
He's a regular, too, and probably will be for the next 15 years.
"It's my second home," Mason said.

No need to check for your wallet or clutch your purse; the only thing Thief is gonna be stealing from you this morning is your heart. OK, I apologize—that was corny as f**k. Atrocious puns aside, on new single (and EP title track) Closer the Australian singer/songwriter showcases a sound that adventurous R&B fans will likely be powerless to resist. Here, a bouncy arpeggiated-synth beat by Thief and Matt Redlich sets the stage for incongruously caustic verses dedicated to a soon-to-be-ex girl. Though lines like "I'm tired of watching you f**k me over." are delivered with the appropriate bile, the artist's ear-pleasing falsetto ensures that the overall cut is more sweet than bitter. Closer is scheduled for a UK single release March 25. The EP of the same name will follow on Tuesday, May 12.
Update: We have added the Robert Wallace-directed visuals for Thief's Closer single.

Installing more RAM on my PC
Likes # 0
Posted February 10, 2011 at 10:41PM
As I am increasingly getting Windows "low virtual memory" warnings, I have been advised to install more memory on my PC – a Dell Dimension C521.
A system scan by Crucial.com reveals that I have 1GB of RAM installed and three empty slots. They recommend installing up to three extra 1GB in matched pairs and offer to sell me "guaranteed compatible" RAM for £14.39 per GB.
Presumably adding 3GB will be beneficial? However, Crucial's advice includes two things I don't understand.
1. It says "Your PC can handle 4096 MB". I get confused over MB and GB. Can I have a total of 4GB RAM on my PC?
2. In saying each memory slot can take 1GB, it says "Not to exceed manufacturer supported memory". I don't understand that.
Also, you will probably have realised that my knowledge is limited, albeit I am fairly intelligent (!). Is it easy for someone inexperienced to install extra RAM?
Any advice will be greatly appreciated.

"Not to exceed manufacturer supported memory". I don't understand that."
It means that you can't just install any old RAM.
Do exactly what the Crucial scanner has recommended - it can be trusted.
"Is it easy for someone inexperienced to install extra RAM?"
Yes, it is.
1. Open the case.
2. fit the new RAM modules into the slots provided, and ensure that the retaining clips click into place.
The RAM modules can only be inserted one way, and you'll easily see which way that is by studying the modules and slots - there is a notch on the module that correspinds to a lug on the slot.
Replace the case, and turn the computer on - the BIOS will detect the new RAM as it does its Power On Self Test (POST), which is the bit that happens in white text on a black background before Windows loads.
You should find that upgrading the RAM makes a big difference.

1Gb = 1024Mb
2Gb = 2048Mb
3Gb = 3072Mb
4Gb = 4096Mb
Maximum memory for your pc is 4 GB (4096Mb)
Have a look at the Specifications in the Service Manual it tells you all about what you've got.
Your manuals homepage click here
service manual click here
click on: Removing and installing parts >click on : Memory
and you get full instructions with pictures.
"low virtual memory" = page file (amount of harddrive space that the OS (XP) can 'pretend' is RAM and use it as extra)
This should be set to 1and a half times the actual RAM. You have 1GB so it should be set at 1 and half Gb (1536Mb)
If you add more ram then increase the page file to match.
rightclick on: My Computer > Properties > Advanced tab > Settings button > Advanced tab > and look at Virtual memory and click on Change if it is not the right size for the amount of ram you have got.
If you look at the bottom it will tell you how much is 'Recommended' so you can't really get it wrong :)
You could just put green dot in 'System managed size' if you wanted or you can enter it yourself if you choose 'Custom size'
Any problems post back on here and we'll try to help :)

If you are using Win XP then your system will only use about 3.5Gb. What OS do you have ? It is VERY easy to install your own Ram modules.

Just a word of caution.
When working on ANY internal or your computer make sure the power plug is Unplugged and you are using an Anti-static strap on your wrist.

These are quite cheap and will prevent accidental damage to your computer from static that may be stored in your body or carpets etc.

I have XP. If RAM should ideally be in matched pairs, presumably my options are either 2GB or 4GB total. Therefore, if XP uses 3.5, it is best to install total 4GB - yes?

Personally, I'd say that unless you're a very heavy duty user, 4GB is overkill for XP. In most cases, it runs fine on 512MB, very well on 1GB and fairly hums along on 2GB. After that, I think the difference you'll notice would be marginal. On the other hand, at £14 a stick from Crucial - who cares? :-)
And yes, as FE said, upgrading RAM is one of the more straightforward things you can do in the case. No jumpers to set, no cables to connect, not even any screws to undo/do - it just plugs/clips in, and it won't go in the wrong way round.

2Gb would be fine but if you can afford 4gb, go for it as Ian says !

Thanks for all this great advice, which is very reassuring.
Just one more worry: Having now studied my PC User Manual, I find the following advice about installing additional memory -
"If possible, do not pair an original memory module with a new memory module. Otherwise, your computer may not start properly."
Well, I hope to install an extra 3GB to get a total of 4GB as seems to be the consensus on this post. Obviously I intend to pair a new module with the existing one, rather than buying four new ones. Should I follow the above advice, or is it OK to pair the new with the old?

You have not said what speed the existing stick is so remember that if you install mixed pairs of DDR2 533-MHz (PC2-4300) and DDR2 667-MHz (PC2-5400) memory, the modules function at the slower installed speed.
If you want to install 4 x 1Gb sticks then if it was me I would buy 4 new 1Gb sticks if the existing one is at the slower speed.
(Although my Dell is currently running on 3Gb total. I have 2 of 512Mb sticks and 2 of 1Gb,
originally it came with 2 of 512Mb sticks and I added the extra 2Gb last year)

IF your M/B is capable of 2g per slot I would go for 2x2gbs into 2 slots. They come as matched pairs and much cheaper. Crucial is very good but tenbds to be more expensive. If you know the specs of your Ram buy from say eBuyer or Novatech.
