Replacing/Upgrading your RAM is very easy.
For Desktops,
1. Open up your case and locate the RAM slots.
2. Plug-in you module (make sure it fits first) in an open slot next to the one you already have.
3. Close the case and check if it has been installed correctly. (F2 on when your computer boots or System Properties)
[Note: make sure you unplug your computer first]
It shouldn't be very different for laptops
Upgrading your CPU is harder. It is riskier and could damage your system if you are not careful

Call a local computer business, make sure you have all the compatibility issues figured out. The RAM isn't so bad but processors are really touchy.

Look up your motherboard to see what it is compatible with. Then decide what you want. I have no idea what type board you have so I can't suggest anything. Just don't buy the parts in a store like BestBuy. They will charge you double or triple the price you'll pay online. Go to newegg.com for your parts

every new ram stick you get must be the same like pc 2700 333mhz something like that you cant put pc2700 and pc 4000 together, and as for the processor go to bestbuy or something they would hook you up.

to upgrade ram, u have to buy a RAM card
then if u have a laptop, just flip it over and unscrew it where the ram card is
then, just take out the card with the least memory then stick in the new one

check your motherboard specifications. If you don't you will end up getting parts that won't fit, or are not compatible.
