Go to www.crucial.com to check memory.I believe you can do
512MB maximum.

You have a AGP slot so you can use 128MB video card.Make sure
you get the right one yours could use Low Form Factor.

That model has 3 slots with a maximum of 512 meg. in each.

http://www.crucial.com/store/listparts.aspx?model=NetVista+Type+6790+All+Models

Unless it is the small form factor which is 2 slots with a maximum of 1 gig. RAM.

There is only a 160-185 watt PSU so that is a major limitation. You do however have a 4x AGP slot.

What are you trying to accomplish? This will never be a gaming machine, but with 512 RAM it should be quite usable for normal XP tasks, although Win2000 would fly on it. (You didn't state your O/S.)

Not the RAM. I am not sure what type of RAM it has but, I'm pretty sure it uses PC-2100.
