since memory (RAM) is a physical hardware chip inside your computer, you will not be able to add more without buying it at a computer store and having someone install it for you or by installing it yourself. Installing memory is one of the easier tasks to do, but it does mean you will have to open your computer up somewhat. Step-by-step walkthroughs should are readily available and you should be able to find them by searching "installing RAM memory guide" on any search engine. If you want to just make your computer run faster without having to pay for anything, you can alternately download a program that will clear unused information from your computer: I would recommend following this link if you have Windows XP:

however, actually installing the hardware will be more effective than this. Hope this helps!

You can buy extra memory chips at any local computer dealer and install them on your own, but it might be better to have them installed by someone familiar with the inside of a computer. More memory isn't something you can download.

Do you mean site that you can download memory? If that is what you are asking, the answer is no.
Adding memory to a computer is not difficult. But you may want to take it to a shop if you do not feel confident about it.

More memory is hardware. You have to buy it at a store, it could be online, then you take off the side of your computer, and have to stick it in one of the open slots. You can buy different sizes of memory, usually 256mgs is a good one. You probably have at least that much in your computer right now. It's not hard to do, but if your not sure, call one of your friends, they probably could help you. go to this website, and they will tell you what you need .good luck..>>

if you are talking about RAM memory, you can do it by yourself, all you have to do is just buy a memory card and install it by a memory card slot..it's very easy, but you need to find out which memory card you need, so you can take your computer apart, get the memory card out and take it to the computer store and they can give you a matching card and you will have more memory in there

you should ask a pro to add memory space into your computer ...
or you can try getting USB memory sticks which gives you more storage ... thats what i do since upgrading is too much for my budget.

I would say it is best to have it done by a professional, because if something messes up you can take it to them and they can fix it. If you do it and it messes up your stuck like chuck.
