HOW TO UPGRADE RAM ON YOUR PC ?

• Learn how to increase memory of your PC to the
  required storage amount

A BRIEF OVERVIEW

• 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.

WHAT IS MEMORY UPGRADATION?

• 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 systems performance.

IMPORTANCE OF MEMORY UPGRADATION

• 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

5
HOW MUCH MEMORY IS NEEDED?

• 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.

6
DIFFERENT TYPES OF RAM

• 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.

THINGS TO CONSIDER WHEN BUYING RAM

• 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

INSTALLING RAM IN YOUR PC (contd.)

• Remove the old kit by toggling the plastic
  retention clips at either end of the memory slots

  memory module is correctly oriented
• Now that you have seated the RAM in the slot,
