Add RAM!

Up to the limit that your motherboard can support.

Open the case, remove the old, smaller memory card, plug in a larger memory card that is compatible with the OLD memory card.

You add more RAM.

The motherboard on your computer has sockets to take RAM. There are different types of RAM so you need to get the right version. There is a limit to the size of the RAM that your Motherboard can support, and that varies from machine to machine.

If you don't know the details take it to a computer shop and get them to upgrade it for you. They'll be able to tell you what type it takes and how much you can put in.

Video memory can not be added by itself. You will need to purchase a new video card with a sufficient amount of video memory on it to replace the one you have. On some on-board video, the graphics chipset uses shared memory. If this is the case, you will need to consult your motherboard manual for details on how to modify the video memory setting in the BIOS.

The easiest way to increase the amount of RAM on a desktop computer is to reduce the number of applications running on the computer at one top. The next step is to purchase additional ram chips and install them on the desktop.

First, you need to know what kind of memory your computer uses. Then find out how much memory you already have. You need to review your manual to see what type of memory your computer supports. Then open up the computer to see how many memory slots you have available. Once you find out that information you will be able to buy more memory and install it on your computer.

How Much DDR Memory RAM Is Needed For A Computer?

The amount of RAM one needs depends on what the computer is used for and what tasks it faces. A lot of DDR Memory RAM is required for editing video or music. In fact, one requires over four gigabytes of memory and more to edit video. Consider that every change done on the video film has to be read by the computer and then filtered back into the video track combined with all other changes. For regular computer use, writing or even looking at movies, use one or two gigabytes.

What is a flash camcorder?

Flash Camcorders are camcorders which record video onto flash memory instead of a video tape. The flash memory can be a removable memory card (SDHC, Memory Stick, xD), or it can be built-in memory which is not removable. Some camcorders like the Canon HF S10 have both removable memory and built-in memory. Removable memory is generally better in a flash camcorder because when you fill the memory, you can record more by inserting an empty memory card. Whereas with built-in you have to move the videos onto a computer before recording more video. See related links for a list of flash camcorders.
