Upgrading your memory

The easiest way that I have found to upgrade your memory is to go to crucial memory website and let them scan your computer and then show you the memory you have installed and what you can upgrade to. See first screen shot, (click screen shots to enlarge) click system scanner, then click scan my computer as in second screen shot then click download scanner as in third screen shot make sure box is checked agreeing to terms. When the download box appears click run. In a few moments a page will come up with your results something like the fourth screen shot. On the left that I have circled are the results telling you what is installed and what is the max memory you can have installed on your computer. As you can see I have 8 Gig installed which is max amount for my computer. On the right side shows compatible memory for your computer. One thing to remember is that if you are running a 32 bit windows operating system then 3 Gig of memory is all it will reconize reguardless of how much you put in, in other words if you are running a 32 bit windows operating system then there is no use putting in more memory than 3 Gig. If you do not know how to tell what bit you are using click here.
