If your computer has 256mb ram only, you can add another 256mb ram in it..just go to your nearest computer store and buy another 256mb ram stick. once you have that, open you PC housing and put it in Dimm1 or Dimm 2.
No lol
If I was to purchase a computer that is a average desktop computer how much RAM and Rom should I have?
There is two types. There is DDR notebook RAM and there is DDR desktop ram. They can't be used vin each other (notebook RAM can't be used in a desktop) unless (in rare circumstances) you happen to have a notebook ram port on your desktop's motherboard. But no, DDR is a technology. Both desktops and notebooks support this technology because there is notebook DDR and desktop DDR. but notebook DDR can't be put in desktop DDR and vice versa.
The type of RAM that a desktop computer uses depends upon the design of the specific motherboard that is installed in the computer. Refer to the specifications of the motherboard or of the computer manufacturer (i.e. Dell, HP) to determine the proper type of RAM for your computer.
Ram upgrades are easy to do if the the computer is a desktop. If your computer is a laptop then it will be a lot harder to switch out your ram. However desktop computers are much easy and can be done at home.
A desktop computer with no ram is nothing more than a very expensive paperweight.AnswerNothing will happen until you turn it on, when the BIOS generates an error message.
Add more RAM?...?
No, not usually. Check with your motherboard specifications to see what RAM is needed and the maximum RAM your motherboard can handle.
The cost of 8GB of RAM depends on the speed of the ram, the vintage of the computer it will go into and of course whether it is for a laptop or desktop computer.
That depends on the speed of the processor that is installed in the computer. It can be different speeds. It also depends on how much ram is in the computer as well.
The computer itself uses RAM or random access memory to do so. If you want to temp save info... You probably can on the desktop or hard drive then delete it when done.
