LOL bro, we can only tell you what you need, we can't buy it for you. Is there a store around that you can get to order it for you?

Also, you need to increase your pagefile, defrag, and clear out that HDD in the meantime.

Dang, i just re read your first post. No wonder you don't have a credit card, you are 15. At 15 it's not like you can hop into your car and drive to the store to order a part either. Sorry about that last comment.

Are you familiar with how paypal works? Do you have a bank account? I know I didn't when I was 15. Maybe we can help you around some of these problems. Also do what Carbon suggested with the pagefile, and defrag. If you don't know how to do that, let us know and we will walk you through that. NONE of us knew any of that when we started. Hell, I barely know more than that now...........

I had a joint bank account at 13 and a debit card at 16. It's not that hard. :p

Agreed, this may be a software issue, but 240MB is nowhere near enough to run XP well and stable. I would highly recommend getting more RAM, then looking at other options if need be. As it is it will probably crash in it's current state running any software to defrag, remove spyware, clean-up etc.

I had Debit card at 13..

V. Useful for Paypal etc. Would reccommend setting yourself up with current account and debit card, even if not in time for this purchase, it comes in handy.

For now though can you not just ask your mum to order it for you and you pay her cash or whatever?

EDIT*
Sorry, you're US, ask your MOM, rather than your mum, and not too sure about rules for debit cards etc. over there, you might have to go in and ask.
