Do you have a slow computer? DDR memory is an easy upgrade that will speed your system up!
If
your computer is running slowly, there may be any number of
contributing factors to this; you may have an outdated processor, you
may need a faster hard drive, or you may simply need more memory for your computer.
DDR memory and SDR memory are popular upgrades that can add a quick
boost to your lagging system. But how do you know whether my system
takes DDR or SDR memory? There are a few easy ways to find out.
First, you can navigate to the MemoryGiant.com homepage
and click on the “Check My System” utility, found in the
center of the homepage under option “1.” Run this utility
to see if we can help you identify what your system is. When the
utility is finished analyzing your system, it should tell you whether
you what you need for your computer: DDR memory or SDR memory.
The other, less technical, way to find out what type of
memory is in your system is to pop open the hood and take a look
inside. Simply remove the cover for your system’s tower (where
the motherboard is located), and remove one of the existing memory
modules. DDR memory will have one notch along the gold pins of the
module, while SDR memory will have two.
Once you have determined what you have, you can go to MemoryGiant.com and get what you need!
Hhow to install memory on computer systems
As
we have said above, adding memory to your computer can be easy, but you
need to first identify what type of memory you need. If you have
completed that step, you are ready to move on to the buying process,
and then the installation process
The installation process is the last—by not least important—step in the “How to: Install memory on computer systems”
checklist. After all, you have received your purchased memory, you will
probably want to know how to get it into your system!
In the case of a laptop, first try flipping the computer
on the cover, removing the battery, and investigating the panels on the
bottom of the computer for a memory slot. If you can not find one
located on the bottom of the computer, try removing the keyboard and
searching for the slot on the motherboard, located under the keyboard.
In the case of a desktop, open up the side of the tower
and look for the memory slots. The slots are typically easy to
recognize because of their black or blue color with white clips located
on both ends. The slots may also be easy to find by looking for the
existing memory modules, which will be occupying one of the slots.
Simply install the new module right alongside the old one, reboot the
system, and your “How to: Install memory on computer
systems” checklist is complete!
