What kind of memory do i need?

Question

What do i need to buy..apparently i need more memory on my computer so can i just go buy more memory or does it have to be by the same manufactor and the same kind that is in there? My comp has 512 MB DDR SD RAM. Do i need to buy the same size memory (512).Also when i do get another do i just put it in with the other memory stick ..sorry i know nothing about this.

Answer 1

You don't have to worry about the manufacturer and all that, pretty much any standard memory will work. Also, although I don't know too much about this, the only thing you really have to worry about it memory slots and making sure that there is enough room for the memory you bought.

When putting it in, there should be extra slots next to the memory for additional memory. Simply put the memory cards in there.

Answer 2

You can get any brand of RAM, as long as it is the correct type (in this case, DDR SD.) You can get RAM sticks that have 1024 MB (1 gigabyte) that can replace your current RAM stick that you are using, or you can get another 512 MB stick, to use in addition to the 512 MB stick you already have, which would be cheaper. For more information, refer to your computer's User Manual (if you have one), or consult a retailer of Computers and accessories.

Answer 3

na its not necessary to get of the same size
but make sure tht u get of the same frequency
difference in frequency might create a problem
i am using 2 memory one of 256 MB and another of 512 MB but they are of same frequency
and confirm that RAM is DDR or SD
it cant be both
bring the same type RAM
best to bring of the same manufacturer
different manufacturers RAM will also do but we should go for best.
ok

Judging from the question, you are not into games, etc., and maybe you need to clean up that bad boy and save your money? 512 is respectable, and all the RAM in the world will not overcome the processor speed.

Answer 5
