Answer 2

It is usually possible to add more RAM to one's computer. To do this, one will have to insert a memory module into the motherboard. The exact specifications can be found in the system documentation or online.

Answer 3

Open the computer, remove the RAM, take it to a store that sells ram and ask for replacement memory that's larger, take it home, plug it in and you're done.

Just be careful with the RAM, they tend to be a little sensitive to static electrical charges. One tiny little spark can destroy the ram. It doesn't even need to be a big enough spark for you to notice.

Ground yourself to the computer chassis while you're working on it, and don't do the work on a carpeted floor. Damp concrete is best, set up a table just for the project

Answer 4

To get more RAM for your computer you will need to buy a RAM expansion card from a store. You should be able to find a RAM card from your local computer store or possibly an office supply store depending on what they carry. You can also find RAM cards on Newegg, which is a computer supply website. After getting the card you will then need to open your computer case and find what looks like a long rectangle shaped expansion slot. There will be several of these side by side. You then insert the RAM card in one of the expansion slots( it doesn't matter which one you place it in it does not have to be placed in a specific slot as long as it fits in one of the slots) and you make sure that it is securely seated in the slot. That is how you get more RAM for your computer. If you don't have the money here is another method. If you are running any version of windows, follow these steps.

1. Click start.

2. Right click computer then select properties.

3.Click advanced system settings.

4. Go to advanced.

5. Under performance, click settings.

6. On Visual effects, select let windows choose what's best for my computer then click apply.

7. Go to advanced.

8. Under virtual memory, click change.

9. Select drive C.

10. Select custom size .

11. Under total paging file size for all drives, look for recommended then put that number as your initial and maximum size.

Answer 5

You have to buy more.

Most comps have 2 slots for memory cards but use only one. Buy new cards on Ebay at 1 gig each and you just plug them in. Most can only handle 2, but do some research, if it will take more, add even more ram with different cards. All you need is to get a pair for your model with the right in count, speed, etc.

Answer 6

You need to be careful of static electricity ,but you can look below the laptop and unscrew the screws on it, then look for two cards that will say RAM, most laptops show alldetails on the card itself. This is just so you can see it. The next step is to call your computer company and ask them if your specific model's motherboard is capable of more RAM than the original. He will then guide you through what type of ram your computer has, and what the capability is. The computer company will probably charge a lot for a new and better RAM card, so just get all the details you can about your laptops capability and RAM type and you could probably find a cheaper one online. PS If your trying to make games run that usually fail RAM will not help. You will need a gaming/video card to run bigger games.

Answer 7

To put more RAM onto a laptop you will need to remove the cover underneath the laptop using a regular screwdriver, after you remove the cover it is fairly straight forward regarding increasing the RAM capacity. (You will also need another RAM module that is compatible with your laptop.)

Answer 8

RAM on a computer is a physical component. You would have to buy RAM on a website or a store that sells computer parts and have someone replace your old RAM with the new one.
