Used or recycled computers will sometimes be sold without RAM, as the RAM is one of the few parts that actually retains some value.

Generally the big-name manufacturers are reluctant to offer systems with no RAM because of the warranty implications of end-users adding third-party RAM.

OEM sellers and online retailers such as tigerdirect or newegg often have bare-bones systems available without RAM, hard disk, or anything, and then will let you add what you DO want via their website.

That may be the best way for you to go.

My computer only has 480 of ram how do i get more?

If the motherboard on your computer has some spare slots in it, you can buy RAM from most electronic hardware stores and either pay them to install it or install it yourself. If your motherboard DOESN'T have any spare slots then simply replace the current RAM with higher one. Make sure your purchase RAM compatible with your computer. Most computers today use DDR2 RAM while older computers (such as mine) use DDR RAM.
