The first guy's answer about how "if it's a laptop, you're screwed" is incorrect.  In fact, i have added a 512MB chip in mine.   RAM, or Random Access Memory can be found at any computer store for the most part. I've actually found that if you do a search online to find out EXACTLY which type of RAM to buy, then search for it on Ebay, you can generally get a pretty good deal!  Keep in mind, you want to make sure you get the right kind so it'll fit and work with your computer.  Installation is easy too!  For a desktop just take open the case and insert the RAM card, your computer should automatically recognize it. With laptops, there should be some screws on the back to take out and insert a card.  Most computers only allow 2-4 RAM cards, so if your laptop or whatever already has for instance two 128MB cards, you'd have to take one out to install your new one.

If i was you i would completely dry out everything put the new ram to one side reinstall the old ram, then if and when the PC is running go to Crucial and use there scanner to find out exactly what sort of ram you can upgrade to.

You need to leave more information.  What computer do you have, what motherboard....\n\nHow many slots in total do you have?\n\nIf you have 4 slots, then the chances are you need to insert 2 RAM modules at the same time.  Not a definite, as will need more info on your computer,  but thats probably likely. You could buy 2 sticks on 1GB, and insert them into the currently filled slots, and put the 2 512Mb in the other slots (if you have 4 slots)  That way you will have 3Gb RAM, should run quite will with that!!!

Check the BIOS, maybe 128MB is used as Video RAM.  If that's the case, you are really OK.  But you might be looking at getting more RAM.   Visit http://www.coastmemory.com and look up your system. \n\nGood luck

no need for another 1gb ram, is that brand new one if yes go back to the store and return it and if you have an old one installed and trying to add a new one maybe your memory old and new are not compatible to each other pls  check if is the  same brand , model and frequency, any of these indefference can cause you malfunction in your pc.

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.\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.\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.\nIf you need more help or if you want instructions on how to install more memory, then contact me in my profile.

It sounds as if you need more Memory=RAM which you didn't mention how much the machine has..\ngo to http://www.crucial.com put the name and model number in the search place and they will show you the excat amount  and kind  the pc uses

Are you using windows XP? If so, forgive the caps, GET SOME F'ING MORE RAM! Windows XP REQUIRES at least 256 MB of Ram, you should have at least 1 gig If you want to run anything serious. \n\nAlso, you can try doing this through Safe Mode, or in the dos prompt, and it should have no problem completing in that case. But for the love of God, get more ram.

Make sure you check that your computer can be upgraded  that much.check the stats on your make and model.Ebay would be a good place to check for ram though

If your motherboard can handle the ram. Some motherboards have a limit and sometimes the only way is to change the mb.

improve what?\nIf you are talking about adding memory, then you add memory. Find out how many memory slots you have, what the max they can each hold is, buy as much as you can afford, and add the new memory.

Simple i found out your problem.\n\n1. just find the jumpers for activate or deactivate ram slots on your mother board or on users manual.\nby changing these  jumper settings you can activate your ram slots

Another good place for RAM is at http://www.18004memory.com You can run an applet on their site that will tell you how many slots you have, if you have any available, and exactly what RAM you can have as a total, along with prices.  For the Hard Drive I would like to recommend either http://www.geeks.com or http://www.pricewatch.com Both are very reputable.  Hope this helps
