Learn how to increase memory of your PC to the
required storage amount
Memory is a critical aspect of your PC, especially
when it is performing demanding tasks (which is
quite often). Faster and larger stores of RAM can go
a long way in making your PC perform better
consistently. Moreover, installation of some
additional RAM helps in speeding up your PC.
Memory upgradation is a type of hardware upgrade.
It involves installing additional memory(RAM) into
your PC. This is done to speed up and improve
system’s performance.
A memory upgrade is very important for your PC for the
following reasons.
 Large programs like Word and Excel need more
memory
 More RAM eliminates the need to delete programs, to
increase storage space
 A memory upgrade would prevent slowing down of
your PC
 Moreover, the OS would also require a significant
amount of space
Every PC comes with a minimum of 4GB RAM
which is not enough since a lot more is done than
just taking backup or guarding against malware. A
minimum of 8GB is required for a modern-day
desktop PC. In order to secure the future of your
PC, a 16GB RAM is recommended.
There are different types of RAM. Most PCs use
DDR3 memory, but older systems may require
DDR2 or even DDR. A small segment of high-end
PCs now use DDR4 memory, and in another few
years the industry will most likely standardize on it.
But for now, DDR3 rules the market.
 Memory type: Go for DDR3 memory or if you
can afford it, for DDR4
 Speed and Capacity: Speed of the RAM and
capacity of the memory kit
 Brand: Go for brands like Corsair, Kingston,
KLEW, PNY, Mushkin etc
 Appearance and Price: Choose a RAM that
strikes a balance between its appearance and the
price offered by the manufacturer
 Shut down your computer
 Unplug all of the cables connected to it
 Remove the side of the computer case, for
accessing the motherboard
 Look for the RAM slots adjacent to the CPU
socket
 Locate the big heat sink at the top of the
motherboard
 Look for two to four memory slots next to it
 Remove the old kit by toggling the plastic
retention clips at either end of the memory slots
 Before installing the new RAM, make sure the
memory module is correctly oriented
 Now that you have seated the RAM in the slot,
toggle the plastic retention levers to lock your new
memory modules in place
 Finally, close up your computer case, plug
everything back in, and turn on your computer
