I wanna upgrade my dell pc from a 1gb to a 2 or 4gb. Can I upgrade just by buying 1or 3 more 1gb mem sticks?

Yes.  Just plug them in.  When you boot up, your system should see the new mem.

Changing the RAM is simple you just pull it out and push the new one in.The main problem is deciding what type of RAM you need. Try crucial.com. They can scan your PC and tell you which to buy, or if you know your motherboard type they can advise you, or look at the RAM itself for the info on it and give that to them.

The straight forward answer is you may be able to use two different sizes of DIMMs (256MB, 512MB or 1GB), but you can't mix different types or speeds of DIMMS (such as 266MHz, 333MHz, or DDR-2100, DDR-2700, etc.).  You will need to always match the memory type or speed in "MHz" for them to work.\n\nSome motherboards require you to install two identical RAM modules at a time.  The best thing to do is ask a RAM distributor online such as www.buymemory.com.  They will tell you exactly what RAM type you need and can save you quite a bit on memory versus any retail store.

OOH, No stickers?!!?  There I dunno how you will.  Best way is to ask a computer dealer to try the RAM for you and give you the specs.\n\nOr better, try it at a friend's who's willing to help u out.

The difference is one will not fit in the other. You need to find out what your motherboard takes and that is what you want to get. If you own a Dell or a store bought computer like that then their web page should get you straght as to what to get. Yes it does matter what you put in the damn slot and can mean improving your computers speed or slowing it down, even if you are adding more RAM. Just a little note, 2 gigs of Ram is a good idea espically if you plan to upgrade to Vista after it is released.

Most Dell computers use proprietary RAM, but there are several 3rd party vendors that sell it.  Google "Dell RAM", and a large list will come up.

If you have the mother board on an intel chipset then it will take a percentage of ram by itself.\nYou cannot change that Neither is it required

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

Whenever you upgrade your memory, you should take into consideration the number of slots you have,\nwhether you plan to upgrade again in the future, and the current prices for memory modules. Because\nthe memory market can fluctuate quite a bit, it is sometimes less expensive to purchase a higher\ndensity part, like a 128MB module, while at other times it is less expensive to purchase two lower\ndensity parts, like two 64MB modules. If you are planning to keep your system for several more years\nand think you might want to add more memory later, look at how many open slots are left in your\nsystem. If you have quite a few open slots, it probably doesn't matter whether you buy the low- or\nhigh-density modules. However, if you only have one or two open slots left, you may want to purchase\nthe higher density module now.

No you cannot. RAM sticks inside the PC are 'lightning fast' compared to USB sticks. USB are horribly slow.\nAlso, RAM memory is made so that it forgets everything when the power is taken away. USB sticks are the opposite. They are 2 completely different types of memory.

Is your pc mem full ? if not no you dont need more

upgrading the ram doesn't speed up your internet connection. with dial-up you stuck on the lousy 56kbps (and mostly it's even lower). upgrading to dsl or cable is costly but far more effective.\n\nif you want to upgrade the memory to 1GB you have to get 2x512MB DDR2 PC3200 non-ECC unbuffered RAM, due to the dual channel support (one single 1GB stick would not do it). i think it's still worth to do that, because the Pentium M735 is not that old.

You can buy 3 different popular memory chip sizes...\n\n1) ($34) 256 MB - DDR PC2700 • CL=2.5 • UNBUFFERED • Non-parity • DDR333 • 2.5V • 32Meg x 64 \n\n2) ($69) 512 MB -  DDR PC2700 • CL=2.5 • UNBUFFERED • NON-ECC • DDR333 • 2.5V • 64Meg x 64 \n\n3) ($140) 1 GB -  DDR PC2700 • CL=2.5 • UNBUFFERED • NON-ECC • DDR333 • 2.5V • 128Meg x 64 \n\n\n\nGood luck!

I think you answered your question without even realizing it.  You can install pc2700 ddr memory.  It is also known as DDR333.  The link is to Newegg, 512mb starts at $45 shipped.  Much cheaper than  Best Buy, Circuit City etc...\n\nSome people will tell you to only buy the expensive brands, but I have never noticed a problem with the lesser known brands.  Look for lots of reviews, it is usually a good indication of a well liked product.\n\nI would suggest checking to see if you computer will support 1gb (probably) and purchase that.  512mb is fine for WinXP but 1gb makes it hum right along.\n\nHope this helps.\n\nJust a note, you cannot use DDR2.  It is not physically the same, the slots the memory installs in are different configurations.

The ram which I assume is what you are talking about, can be upgraded from 256 to 512 yes... You will need to find out what type of ram you need...\n\nto find out what ram you need use this http://www.crucial.com\n\nit will ask you for your make and model, then tell you what type of ram you need. It will also give you prices, but dont buy from them, just write down the type of ram, and search your local stores for it...\n\nIf you wish to buy it online, try http://www.tigerdirect.com or http://www.newegg.com

Your mother board's very old, you won't see a large boost in performance by putting in new RAM I wouldn't think.  It can only up to 1.55 GB at a slower speed.\n\nFrom the source website:\n\nSYSTEM MEMORY: \n3 X  DIMM sockets \nMax. 1.55GB   PC133/VC133 non-ECC SDRAM
