it's really fairly easy, without pictures though it's not easy to explain, so go to:\n\nhttp://www.ehow.com/how_895_install-ram.html\n\nthe pics at the bottom of the page really say it all.  it's a matter of opening your case, plugging in the memory, and closing your case.  note: there is ZERO software configuration for this, so it is really a 'plug and go' operation.

512mb is more than enough! If you want a little extra "OOMPH" you can free up some computer resources by doing some simple steps to increase overall performance. 1st Right click anywhere on the desktop in an open space- go to Properties - Click the Applications tab Go to "Effects" in the bottom right corner - and de-select all the options. Then go to "Settings" tab, and change your color quality to 16bit. 32 or even 24 is overkill for most computer users. And 99% of the time, you won't even be able to tell the difference. And last but not least Right click on the "My Computer" icon- go to the "Advanced Tab" -Click the "Settings" under the Performance category, and select "Adjust for best performance." These simple steps will give you the best bang for your buck with your current computer configuration. This way you can speed up your computer without having to spend a dime, or even crack open the case. Have fun!

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...

If you're not running at least 2 GB of RAM I would not suggest that you do this!  But here's how you accomplish what you've asked for.click start, then control panel.  Then performance and maintenance, then system.  On the tabs that open up click advanced.  In the box marked performance click settings.  In the new window that opens click advanced.  At the bottom of this page you will see memory settings, on the next page that opens click no cached memory.  Click OK and apply your done

i dont understand your question. Memory is hardware. so if you read into what type of slot your mother baord has you can upgrade memory with that type. If you want a performance boost  you can look into what services you have on that you don't need. After obtaining a spreadsheet of the services and there function along with weather you need it or not. You can go to services and deactivate the ones you dont need. Like the one that makes the blue windows interface, that slows your computer down so much that its rediculus. You can also increase the virtual ram?\n\nOK in order to do this. You right click the My computer Icon first. Then you select preferances. Then you select the advanced Tab. Then you hit the settings tab under performance. There select the advanced tab.\n\nyou will see the virtual memory section there. Hit change.\n Under your C drive local disk you can selct custOm size.\n\nThere is an equation to give  you the best posible size depending on your processor and hard drive. It must be a hex number meaning it is dividable by 8.

1.   Determine what kind of RAM you need, and whether your computer has enough open slots to hold it. The new RAM should match the existing RAM's specifications and configuration.  \n  \n2.   Shut down the computer and leave it plugged into the surge suppressor.  \n  \n3.   Disconnect all peripheral devices, such as the monitor, from the computer. (Image 1)  \n  \n4.   Remove the computer cover. (Image 2)  \n  \n5.   Ground yourself to the computer with professional grounding equipment like an anti-static wristband or hold a metal part of the chassis.  \n  \n6.   Remove any cards or internal components necessary to give yourself unobstructed access to RAM sockets.  \n  \n7.   Pick up your SIMM (single in-line memory module) or DIMM (dual in-line memory module) by the ends without touching pins or chips. (Image 3)  \n  \n8.   If adding a SIMM, find the notched end and turn the SIMM so that it is parallel to the existing RAM card(s). Insert the SIMM into the socket at a 30-degree angle. If adding a DIMM, insert the DIMM straight in so that it is perpendicular to the motherboard. (Image 4)  \n  \n9.   Use slight pressure to keep a SIMM from backing out while rotating the module to an upright position perpendicular to the motherboard.  \n  \n10.   Make sure the small holes on each side of a SIMM fit into holders.  \n  \n11.   Feel or hear retaining clips lock a SIMM into the socket; close the side clips on a DIMM. (Image 5)  \n  \n12.   Gently try to pull the module out to ensure it is locked in position.  \n  \n13.   Replace all internal components.  \n  \n14.   Leave the cover off and reconnect the monitor, keyboard and mouse.  \n  \n15.   Turn on the computer.  \n  \n16.   Check the amount of RAM by right-clicking the My Computer icon in Windows and choosing Properties. On a Mac, use the About this Macintosh command in the Apple menu.  \n  \n17.   If you don't see the right amount of RAM, turn off the computer and try "reseating" the SIMM or DIMM (take it out and put is back in) and reboot. If that doesn't work, call a technician.  \n  \n18.   Shut down the computer and disconnect the peripherals again.  \n  \n19.   Replace the cover and reconnect all the peripherals.

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

i dont think there is anyway to increase your video memory without changing your video card and with your current mother board i dont think you can keep a video card of higher memory say a  128mb geforce 6600

go to http://www.crucial.com and download their tool for seeing what kind of RAM you have and what is their recommendation

No there's not a way around it I'm afraid, you'll have to buy more memory. The good news is it'll be cheap for you, probably less than your monthly broadband subscription as you probably have an older system. If you post your RAM specs on here or email me I can tell you what you need and how to install it into your system
