Answer 1

You can get a free scan at http://www.crucial.com/ it will tell you if you can buy more RAM.

Answer 2

You have to find out from the manufacturer how much RAM your motherboard can hold. If it can hold 2 GB of RAM most desktops have slots for the chips and you just pop them into the motherboard. Make sure they tell you which ones fit your motherboard too.There are many different kinds. If your 'puter is a laptop you can't put any more RAM in. What's in there is all there is. It's hardwired into the motherboard. You can only add RAM chips to desktops.  512 MB isn't much at all if you plan on playing Sims. You'll need at least 2 GB of RAM for 3 or 4 games. Each game is 512 MB!  

Answer 3

Ok first of all you have to know what type of memory your pc uses and you can find out by typing the make and model of the pc in google and do a search for ex: Dell latitude d610 and specs. it should come up with the specs of your pc and what type of memory it uses and that should also tell you how much more memory you can add to it depending how old it is, some can go up to 512mb but some new ones you can add a lot of memory, so once you know then you can buy the ram and it is very easy to install. if you tell me the make model of your pc, i can tell you how to do it.
