The computer's RAM memory is an entirely different thing from the hard disk "memory". The hard disk stores information "permanently" for long term use.
Each module that is installed on your computer needs to have the same amount of memory as the others.
Getting into the tower:
To get into the tower you will have to remove the panel which is on the right hand side when viewing the tower from the back. Open this side of computer case by removing the screws at the back of the tower which are holding it in place. Then simply slide the panel off.
Where memory is located:
Memory is found directly on the motherboard and usually in one, two or four slots. The slots are identifiable by the clips at each end which are used for fastening the modules.
Install the memory:
Push the memory in to the slots. They will only fit one way, and clips should lock on to the memory module when correctly attached.
Getting going:
Once you have refitted the side panel all you have to do is switch on your computer and it should automatically detect the new memory. |
