Hi,

I have found the more stuff I put in my computer, the slower it is going. I was told to buy more memory, as this will speed it up. Are these boxes that plug in? And what are they called? Looked in Argos, but didn't have a clue what I should be buying!

Now AOL is upgrading, it using loads more memory, so I want to speed up my computer!

Thank You

Jayne :D
 
That really helps :lol: (scary picture)

I will have to look into this more, so I don't get it wrong,

Thanks Tony

Replacing the ram in a pc is very simple to do - the only difficult part is ensuring that you buy the correct ram.

The manual for your PC (or motherboard if it is a custom build) should tell you what types of ram it will take.

Hi Jayne,

I've had a bit of experience with specifying all sorts of wierd an wonderful memory for all sorts of machines.

If you like, supply details of the machine spec. (make / model) and I'll look it up for you / provide some suggested contacts.

Hi Jayne,

Before you perform any hardware upgrade, visit the PC manufacturer website, look at the Hardware specification for your PC there you should find the type of memory your system support , Part number and also information about the maximum Memory your system support.

To be on the safe side always use the recommended Part number from the manufacturer.

I didn't really knew what I bought, just thought it looked the nicest with the flat screen telly :lol: Now I'm getting more techy, i'd have gone for a bigger one, to get more in it.

Thanks

Hi Jayne,

To find out your Machine Type and Model simply follow this step:

1. Click Start

2. Click Run

3. Type msinfo32 and click ok

You will be able to see the MT-M

I always use this web site http://www.memoryx.net as you can search for your exact computer make and model and it tells you what memory you can put in and how many - although they are in the US it's not that expensive to buy from them either.

Hi All

There is a little freeware prog called CPU-Z which is simple to use and will give info on:

CPU
Memory
Mainboard
System

This will then determine which compatible hardware can be used for replacement or upgrading.
