How do check how much ram you have on your computer.And how do u increase it??????

Answer 1

Click on the following ... Start button, Settings, Control Panel, System. You should get a pop up screen that gives you that information. To increase it, you will have to buy more memory and install it into your computer.

Here is a site that will tell you what type of memory you need.

FOR XP:
1. GO to My computer.
2. Right click on MY Computer
3. Click on properties.
4. Click on General Tab
5. At the bottom it should say Computer below it , it should say something like 3GHZ XXX mb of RAM. That XXX should be your RAM

NOTE: this information isn't listed on the 'General Tab' then click on the Performance Tab. The amount of RAM is also listed there.

FOR VISTA:

Open System by clicking the Start button , clicking Control Panel, clicking System and Maintenance, and then clicking System.

Another option:

Verify the current RAM usage. If you have Windows OS, open the Taskbar or press "Ctrl + Alt + Del." This will lead you to Task Manager. Click on it first and then press the "Performance" button. In the physical memory section (TOTAL) you can see how much RAM you have. So if total memory is 515280 then its 512mb, 3136560 then its 3gb and so on.

First find out what is the maximum RAM your system can upgrade to. If the max is 2gb, your current RAM is 512mb and you have four slots, you can either buy one 512mb to make it 1gb or 3 512mbs to make it 2gb.

Buy the memory from the same manafacturer, so its stable. Make sure you power off the PC before you do the upgrade or you will be part of our memory.
