More ram memory information: "Upgrading your Ram memory (Random Access Memory) is the most efficient and economical improvement you can make to your computer. Everything you do uses ram memory.
Yes, you can upgrade your own Ram memory. In most instances, it takes longer to take the case off than it does to install ram memory. It doesn't matter if your computer uses the new screaming fast DDR memory, the now dirt-cheap SDRAM memory, or the antiquated EDO or Fast Page memory, upgrading your computer's ram memory is the most efficiant, and most economical improvement you can make.
Installing Ram memory is quick and easy. Many people have the philosophy that they are very adept at operating a computer, but are fearful of opening the case. This apprehension is unfounded, and will soon be forgotten. The only two concerns are of course to unplug your computer. We also recommend that once you have the case off, the memory ready to be installed, and your feet in place� touch something nearby that is made of steel. This will discharge any static electricity that may be in your body. Once you've done this, don't move your feet as they may pick up electricity from the carpet, which discharged into the ram memory, may damage it.
Even if you're not certain of what you're doing, when you open the case of your PC, if you look at the new ram memory, and then look in your computer�within a few seconds you'll recognize your computer's existing ram memory. Next to it, you'll find one to three open slots which are where you're going to put your new ram memory. "
