Upgrading RAM...

[DMXSNOW]

When upgrading ram do you need the same brand?


Because I dont know what type of brand of ram I have, so if I need the same brand how can I check mine?


Thanks.

Nope, just make sure you get the right speed and such.

How do I know what the right speed is for me?

Assuming you have a name brand PC you can go to Crucial and plug in your brand and model there. They'll show you what's compatible.

don't buy from crucial, they are often overpriced

Very true, but it's a simple way for a novice to get memory upgrade info for their store bought systems.

You should be able to look up the model on the manufacturer's website, too. That should tell you what's in the system. Buy Kingston. :thumbsup:
