RAM
I have a laptop - wanna add more RAM. It is 2.0 Ghz, excellent video card and screen resolution lets me 4 table. but to be honest I want to play some games that require 256mb of ram, but should use 512.
What is the best type to buy? are there any restrictions? is adding it a complicated procedure? It is a Dell - should i buy the RAM directly from them? Thanks in advance |

Re: RAM
don't buy from them directly, you will most likely over pay. As I recommended to someone else about a week ago, buying from crucial direct (www.crucial.com) is a good bet. They will match your ram to your computer model, you can't really screw it up, and installation is typically a breeze.

Thanks in advance [/ QUOTE ] you can install it yourself in 10 mins. don't be scared about opening up your computer -- once it's open, it's literally as easy as popping out an old chip, and clicking the new one into place. don't buy from dell. get 512MB at a minimum. make sure you know what type your computer needs (it's in the computer's tech specs). shouldn't cost you more than $50 |
