Well... tats somehow meaning that the ram is sensitive... if u wish to buy ram, make sure u check which type of MHz u were using now , n buy bac the same to add more unto it! For example: DDR PC3200 , it is advicable that u use bac PC 3200. But if u use other kind of MHz, somehow sensitive n sometime might cause the ram malfunction or the motherboard cannot detect the full speed of it ! Well... if u dun wanna damage with your hand ... what u gonna handle with !? What it means that is u are not adviceable to touch the sensitive part like chip memory or the slot interface! coz... sometime hand content charges and static which can bring faulty to your ram !

To test the ram, start by only using one RAM module at a time and test it that way.\nAlso try a program called "MEMTEST"\nhttp://www.memtest86.com/

Upgrading your computer's memory (RAM) is one of the quickest, most efficient and most cost-effective ways to boost performance. Many new computers come with only a bare minimum of memory installed. Adding more RAM can add more zip to your system. And installation is not that complicated. Sometimes getting the case off takes more time than installing the actual RAM itself. \n\nMemory upgrade provides:\n  Smoother multitasking\n  Faster Web surfing\n  Enhanced printing\n  More efficient video editing\n  Optimized Windows XP processing\n  Spectacular gaming\n  Enhanced multimedia presentations\n  Efficient networking

add more RAM. that or you can open it up and mess with the jumpers or switches. Doing that will cause the processor to become hotter and it may overheat, ruining you notebook.

U can put the ram in as long as it has room for it. Normally computers have 2 slots. Just make sure that u have and empty slot and the new RAM is on the same frequency. Not having the same frequency will lead to a lot of system crashes. \nThere should be no trouble in putting the new one in, u will have a better performance no doubt.

properties on my computer\nadvanced\nperformance>settings button\nadvanced tab. at the bottom it says virtual memory click change\nset to custom size that is at minimum double your ram. \nif you have more than one hard drive add the same page file to that drive too. Windows will pick the least busy.\nclick ok a bunch and reboot\n\nThe problem is that you have too many programs or one with a memory leak causing problems. The easiest is to install new ram and not wait for your machine. RAM is cheap.

You go to Start Menu.\nControl Panel.\nSystem.\nAnd then click on the Advanced Tab.\nUnder Performance there is a settings tab.\n\nYou can increase your virtual memory there, but I wouldnt touch it because it usually allocates it the best way possible so that your computer and your graphics card gets the most from your memory.\n\nIt usually means you might need to upgrade your memory. Go to control panel again, then system, and then check your computer information and see how much memory you have. If you only have 128MB RAM, which is the standard that new computers come in, then you might need to add more RAM.\n\nThe more the RAM, the better performance of your computer. If you only have 128MB RAM then that basically means that you cant have much more than maybe 3 or 4 programs opened at the same time.\n\nIf you need more help or if you want instructions on how to install more memory, then contact me in my profile.

You have this listed under laptop, notebooks...\n\nAll you have to do is install more RAM... I assume this is what you are looking to do.  Go to Crucial Technologies... I wouldn't buy from there though, just use the system scan, they will tell you what you already have, and what is available to add.  Then either go to Tiger Direct or Comp USA.. and get some.  I just slapped some pny in mine, and it's working so much better!  Make sure you let them know it's for a laptop or notebook as well, as they are differant

You have two options. Install more memory are get rid of XP. Microsucks has no comprehension about what the meaning of the word efficient means.
