Things to know before memory upgrade
One of the best ways to boost performance for any computer system is memory upgrade. But before one goes to get the memory upgrade, he must be sure to gather information about his computer to ensure he gets the right memory for your system. Besides, he needs to know what type of memory his computer uses, the memory module sizes as well as what already exists in his system.
First, find out how much memory is in the computer by examining the BIOS or operating system. For Windows, it can be located by opening up the System properties from the Control Panel or by opening up the case while the computer is off and find the memory slots to determine how many modules are installed and how many slots are available. If all the slots are full, you have to take some out to put more in, only if the system can use larger modules.
You should check your operating system and application programs as well. Often they will have a printed “Minimum” and “Recommended” memory listing on the package or in the manual. Thirdly, look through the manuals, which came with your computer, where the documentation should be a listing of the specifications for the memory supported. This is important to know the type, size and number of memory modules that are supported by your system. Generally, it is best to buy as few modules as possible for the amount of memory upgrades, which you are to install.
