Upgrading computer RAM?

Question

my Computer has 3gb of RAM and is upgradeable to 8GB, it is a quad-core also. My question is when I upgrade do I just put in the new RAM cards and I'm done or will I need to install a program? Thanks any help is much appreciated

Answer 1

You should turn off and unplug your computer first.  Install the new memory card, then restart your computer.  It should  recognize the additional memory and that's it!

Good Luck,

Answer 2

Put the new RAM in and your done. Just make sure your operating system is running in a 64 bit environment, otherwise you will not be able to take advantage of the additional RAM.

Answer 3

that's but as the first guy said. less you have a 64 bit OS, the unit will only see 3.2 gigs of memory.

therego the term 32 bit os.  

Answer 4

Just put the new ram sticks in and turn your computer back on. But you probably want to use a static guard when working with a computers internal parts because if you shock it with static electricity it's done.

Your computer is a beast. Can I have it?? I have an intel celeron 2.4gHz and 512 mb of ram, upgradable to 2gb
