Any other information? If the computer factory built? Do you know what the motherboard model number is?

Well, since it's factory built, what is the brand and model number of that. I assume you have very little knowledge of computers so I want to make upgrading ram easy. Also, what do you use it for? Why do you want to upgrade?

No no no. What does it say on the computer itself?

lol, it's a 0 not an O.
Anyways.
For that computer the max ram is:
512MB which is two sticks of 256MB 133 MHz SDRAM
Here is a ram to consider: Newegg.com - mushkin 256MB 168-Pin SDRAM PC 133 Desktop Memory - Retail
In all actuality, there is no point in upgrading. That computer is very old and you should just save up and buy a new one.
