I did a search on "CPU family 15 Model 79 Stepping 2" and this is what I
found.
http://www.cpu-world.com/CPUs/K8/AMD-Sempron%2064%203400%2B%20-%20SDA3400IAA3CN%20%28SDA3400CNBOX%29.html
And here is the benchmark I found
http://www.cpubenchmark.net/cpu.php?cpu=AMD+Sempron+3400%2B
I would say at least in part the cause of your computer being slow is
the CPU.
I'd be interested to hear if more RAM makes a difference. Of course RAM
might effect performance if you are doing something that requires a lot
of RAM. I assume more RAM will effect compile speed.
This is a testament to Linux breathing life into old iron.

Michael,
It seems the max memory is 4GB for that system - 4 banks of 1 GB
sticks.
RAM memory Capacity - 4 GB
Memory Type - DDR2 SDRAM - DIMM 240-pin
Data Integrity Check - Non-ECC
Speed - 667 MHz ( PC2-5300 )
Features - Dual rank , unbuffered
You already have 2 1GB sticks in the machines - what speed are
they?
You should match the speed for all four sticks.
The second set you mentioned are only 533 MHz, whereas your bus is
667
MHz. If your system is slow, get the fastest memory you can afford.

Yes, 1024 is one gig, but often some memory is stolen by the
motherboard – for example if you have an on-board graphics card
that uses main memory for its RAM.
Personally, if you can afford it and the 4G is less than 2x the 2G
I’d get 4G – but if you could find 2x2G sticks then you could
have 6G total – not bad IMHO.

SUBJECT: memory
I know this is a stupid question but...
I got a Dell dimension c521. It is slow so I figure I should add
memory. There are 4 memory slots with 2 being used. How much memory
is that? Well, the cards that are in there say it they are two
cards with 1024 mb apiece. 'free -h' reports
free -h
total used free
shared buffers cached
Mem: 1.9G 1.4G 489M 18M
59M 535M
isn't 1024 one gig? Where is the rest?
SHould I buy this?
NEW 4GB 4X1GB DDR2 PC2-5300 667MHZ RAM MEMORY FOR DELL DIMENSION
C521 [1]
or should I get this?
