Hold the phone.

How much memory can your motherboard accept? 256 MB sounds like half the 
capacity that a Pentium-3 motherboard ought to have.

The first thing--the /very/ first thing--that I do when acquiring a new 
system is to equip the motherboard with as much memory as it will accept 
and recognize. 512 MB /minimum/ is what I would recommend.
