You can use higher, it will slow down to 2700. Can't use lower. The test is does it boot, and does the computer recognize the ram, If that is yes, you are ok. Any combination will not harm the pc, it will only not work or complain.

Yes you can, that is if your mainboard is a newer kind.  I have a 256 mb DDR before and i recently purchased 512mb DDR additional ram for my pc to work well.  \n\nJust install the new ram in the memory slot in your mainboard, make sure that you put it properly to prevent boot-up errors.  When you restart your computer, you will see if it is recognized since there will be more ram in the boot-up details.\n\nIn my case, i even have a DDR 333 256mb ram and the latest one i purchased is 512mb DDR 400 ram.. So far so good it has been working perfectly and i have not encountered problems (like my pc rebooting constantly and such). But i know that my 512mb ram is not performing as DDR400 like it should coz it matches the clock speed 333 of my 256 RAM. But still i got 768mb of memory which is far more better than my 256mb before.

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!!!

you should get a memory upgrade.\n\nwith ram prices so low, you should probably go for 1Gb ram =)

easy...\n\ngo to kingston.com and use their ram wizard...  No guess work.\n\nAnoosh's suggestion just uses the system info in the registry.  It can be inaccurate.

Well it depends on what type of RAM you have, not what OS you have.  Check out www.shopper.com or www.pricewatch.com for the latest RAM prices for your type of memory.

Your RAM is already fine. I suggest you buy a video card (also known as a graphics accelerator card). That was what I did, and it worked really well. Now I can play high-end games and the graphics really improved a lot. Try Sparkle.

You need to buy more memory - 256MB is chump change as far as RAM is concerned nowadays. You pretty much need at least 1GB.

a few systems will not allow you to use faster RAM\nalso ram will only operate at the slowest of Ram or BUSS speed

The virtual memory is the what is used when your RAM is full, or otherwise used. The data stored there is already processed, but not in use. It's actually inefficient, compared to more RAM. \n\n   If you have quite a bit free space, but the message still appears, follow these instructions:\n\n1. Go to the Control Panel. On the Start Menu for Windows XP, or Start Menu/Settings for Windows 95/95, ME and 2000 users. \n\n2. Click on the System icon. \n\n3. Change to the Advanced tab, and then click the Settings button under Performance. \n\n4. Click on the Advanced tab on the window that opens, then click on the Change buttong in the Virtual Memory section. \n\n5. From there, you can increase the numbers to a reasonable amount, such as 750 on Initial and 1150 on Maximum.

Simply add more ram.\n256 less than adequate.\n512 adequate\n1gig plus is ideal

The RAM modules' speed must at least match the memory controller on the motherboard. You can always use faster RAM modules than required, but not slower.

just open your laptop and bring it to frys or best buy and ask for the ram you want and show them your system...just plug it in where the long boards on the main board are plugged in...it's that easy really...
