Buying The Right RAM (New Computer Users MUST WATCH)

[smithdawgydawg]

heheheh...you bought a ram.. :D

[BrendanRoganArts]

sorry, wasn't much help. It did not discuss speed + latency or ECC, unbuffered/buffered,etc. This doesn't tell you all you need to know about getting the most out of your memory/system. When you go to the My Computer properties you show that you can only use up to 2 GB of memory, this is misleading because the My Computer panel does NOT tell you the max supported, only what is currently installed.I know this because my panel also says 2 GBs, but I know the motherboard I installed supports 4.

[dave3321xxxx]

I recently upgraded my Dell laptop from 4GB to 8GB. The crucial memory advisor tool @crucial.com was invaluable to me. It made choosing my sticks painless. The entire process, including installation, could not have been easier.

[BrendanRoganArts]

@dave3321xxxx I used the same tool. It tells you what the motherboard is compatible with, but does that mean that the computer fully supports the higher memory speeds or just that the memory is compatible? (ie. maybe the memory is 800 but the computer only uses/supports 500, so 300 is wasted?)

[yourmortalenemy167]

yay, my PC can handle 4GB :D

[xXiMPACTHDXx]

It is perfectly OK to mix ram as long it is from the same company and is close to the same year it was created

[xxmatthewii]

[fifa07fanitic]

I have 4 memoery slots and 2 are used, the computer came with 2 256MB Ram sticks , so i have 2 slots. I bought 2 corsair 1 gig ram sticks. But i didnt know which type of ram manufacturer i already had. I never knew u couldnt mix and match. what should i do?

[DivineIcez]

can you please make a video on buying the right video card?

[Morganhesketh]

my pc is custom built so i dont have brand name or anything

[rapsac200]

same

[ZinodinhoProductions]

hey i can only install 512 mb ram and i want 2 gig can it hurt my pc/ do i need a other motherboard?

[fifa07fanitic]

you need another motherboard that can support more ram

[ShadowRealmX]

You can use a 512mb and a gig of ram together they just need to run at the same speed. For exemple, the 512mb kingston and the 1 gig are both 333MHz.

[pokemontraid]

[nin9121]

[lukebob1]

I got my computer a month or 2 ago and it only supports 8 gigs. There isn't a limit on most desktop computers, but there are on laptops and mini/small desktop computers.

[lostproput]

there is a limit on every computer it's limited by the kind oh motherboard you have

[rohans11s]

[MainTutorials]

Your allowed to mix memory especially from the same company like a 512mb and a 1 gb. But you can mix manufactures.

[VvCompHelpvV]

Then try crucial  link in the description. 8)

[TechSmurfMedia]

Just do dv6800

[liljon15cp]

I'm getting 2, 1 GB ram's that only cost $15.00

[xReaClay38x]

[dlouis95]

i can support 32gb but the only ram garente to work is like 100 dollars per gb

[jrodwwe94]

oh and btw there is a problem with this tutorial

you went to tigerdirect

not newegg

[fogle6]

jerry i need help u know any other sites for ram on that site they dont have toshiba satellite l305-s5945 :'( help?

[SmiJa]

You don't have to match the brand of the sticks of RAM. Although you do have to match the speed.

For example if you buy one stick of PC5400, you would have to buy one that matches the speed, not the brand.

[trinsko]

Um.. Wrong. You dont have to match the speed.

[SmiJa]

it's best that you do match the speed. Because if you buy two sticks of RAM and one is slower then the other, it will only run at the speed of the slowest one.

[trinsko]

Yes, thats true, i thougt you ment if you buy new RAM and replace them with the old ones.. But if you use the old one too, then its smart to match the speed :)

[lorik1641]

My laptop can hold upto 2GB

[MrSolid95]

I am getting either a hp pavillion or a dell inspiron sunday...the hp has 3GB RAM and 320MB Memory. The dell has 4GB RAM and 250MD memory.Which should i get????

ps-they are both same price.

[FedorMP96]

I would choose the dell probabbly

[iSKiTTLeZxx]

nice upload

[xWiZxKiDx]

iam buying a computer with 4gb of ram vista...super video Vv

make some more ipod touch videos cause i got mine 2 days ago and its the coolest thing ever!

[tf2godlikespy]

but i have a gaming pc custom made as in i have a random case motherboard ect so this doesnt work for me

[UnholyMist]

You guys can also try using Crucial(.com). They have a scanner that scans your computer, so you don't even have to know the model name. The scanner will send you directly to the RAM your computer can use. They have great service, just used them to get RAM for my Mac.

[FinalFrontier0]

My notebook can hold 4GB of RAM LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL

[SidkaProduction]

BAD BAD BAD !, never by used, no go for you're pc

[tnhdz]

I bought my RAM at Fry's from Patriot Memory

[YourXPHelp]

Cool 5/5

[sabaths1fan]

What about buying used ram?

[comphelpwithsam]

don't buy used ram.  used ram will NEVER work.

[thadaran]

well if you got 2 ram sticks, one 1 GB and one half of a GB then it should still work. my computers allready at the max sadley

[cusinndzl]

Nice video.

[coijoi]

nice vid

[FavoriteDesigns]

5 Stars for TigerDirect :D Nice to see someone else using it as well as myself :D

[breakandstuff]

yea u can

[jckskeltonHACK]

newegg owns but i have 4 gigs of ram running 64bit vista so im good :]

[pinkie748]

Mrmemory is alot cheaper! but great video.

[quesomanrulz]

Tiger Direct=SUXORZ. Newegg=WIN!

[meekoman25]

... The shipping is a lot higher then Tiger Direct...

[PersonalComputerHelp]

32 bit version of windows support up to 3 gb of RAM. If you have 4 or more, you need 64 bit version of windows.

[CpmvBigeyes506]

Im getting a new mac and I might get 8 GB

[meekoman25]

why do you need 8GB of RAM?

[CpmvBigeyes506]

because i will be sharing it with my dad and he has a business so he needs the ram

[PapersPersons]

so your computer goes faster. You need 64 bit for 8 gigs to work tho.

[iAdUrMuMClan]

I personally use Crucial. It works pretty good and you can order your RAM there.

[BKiggin]

This video is awful and that way is slow and some people might not have DELL, HP, IBM or Acer computer it might be a custom build but Crucial does a free Memory Scanner that scans your motherboard

[TheUnforgiven211]

Thats True im using a Custom Built Computer right now...

[spinydelta1]

Yea, Me to

[spinydelta1]

Very true

[Phailyur]

get off his nuts dude he is just trying to help.

[lostproput]

if your smart you would know what u put in a custom pc or dell hp or ibm be smart, idiot
