Download that, extract it to a folder on the desktop and double click on Aida32, the one with a computer and an i in it.

Click on Computer on the left and click on Summary.

Paste back here the following details from the screen:

Operating System

CPU Type
Motherboard Name
Motherboard Chipset
System Memory
Video Adaptor (you may have more than one)
3D Accelerator

Scroll down a bit, look for Disk Drive and also look for Partitions.

Once you have the details needed, you can remove the folder with AIDA in it.

Consider a memory upgrade. Any decent computer shop will be able to supply more memory.

You're very borderline there, so you're going to have problems.
