[xXRcadezXx]

i opened my pc and saw 3 cards where i put my rams, are all those 3 ram cards or is only 1 of them the ram card? :)

[Benyognaugt]

Well done JetSkier that was an excellent guide, mentioning the manufacturers stickers on your existing memory was a great tip to ensure my upgrades would be compatible, not being computer savvy this gave me the confidence that I was buying the right stuff!

[DrumJunkie1963]

.Make sure your machine uses rather EEC or non EEC memory. EEC memory should be installed in pairs. The Non EEC type can be done one at a time. Look in manual or online to see what speed memory and how much your board can support. If you don't know what speed memory is installed there are programs that can tell you. I like Sandra.

my friend has 240 mb of ram but no internet access...can she just take the old ram chip to the PC store & buy more?  will they know how much ram her PC is capable of handling?

[z0mger999]

i had already installed 512 mb ram then i bought 1 gb ram but pc shows that theres only 1gb of ram what i need to do???

[xAPC1wolfguy]

this people person just installed ram memory to their pc computer

[TheWhiplash01]

btw u can get 8 ram slots :D (just saying)

[TheBrye88]

can u upgrade any type of desktop brand? if anybody could reply that would be coool.

[iMSoHigh420ritenow]

can i mix up my ram with different brands??

[PivotDanman]

@iMSoHigh420ritenow I don't think that would be safe to do. You know, there's this amazing website that can help you find information for anything, it's called Google. Open 24/7

[MrVincentGoldman]

Could you wear rubber gloves to do this? Say gloves to do dishes?

[lukab96]

khm,khm....Integrated Circuits,i please! :)

[Skaterdude123]

where can i check if my motherboard can support the upgrade

[Blademaster582]

I didn't know you had to push the locks and ram simultaneously! You're more helpful than those other how to videos :3

[TyrantGames]

Thank you a lot a lot a lot a loooooot for this video, it was just what I needed. I had problems with my PC since ages ago, needed to change the faulty RAM, this video explained it perfectly and now my PC works perfectly well. Thanks a lot!!

[solidenix]

Hi,do you have 6 slots or 2 ?

[michellereneexx0]

So I'm considering adding more ram to my system, but I have a question, does the computer automatically detect the new ram and life goes on? Or do you have to do do some configurations after the computer is turned on?

[jayrod2]

@michellereneexx0 Auto detects

[louiscoollol]

look like an armonica

[ovidiu9412]

thx , the best video , the direction is very important , if u dont do it right the ram will be totaled

[15935715935788224466]

@FatZiggyFiddleCrumbs If it helps you can search the manual for my motherboard.Its an ASUS M4A78-AM

[15935715935788224466]

@FatZiggyFiddleCrumbs yea i have it checked and my motherboard supports upto 8Gb ram DDR2 but for some reason on of the slots can't read more than 1.So in order to get a 4 gb ram i need 4 gb chip on one slot.Now i have 3Gb ram.Everything is back to normal.Thanks for the answer btw.

[maxxbad17]

@Jetskier1616 i want to uprgrade my memory to 1 gb(actually i have 512)...but on the motherboard its written "dont not install 3.3v card...can cause damage", what does that mean???

[AfterStory182]

best tutorial right here. I love supporting youtubers instead of HowTo channels and ExpertVillage.

[Jetskier1616]

@AfterStory182

Thank You!

[Sonyman1215]

@Jetskier1616 Hey what kind of pc are you using. And does the RAM have a specific color??? Im changing the RAM on a dell desktop. I also wanted to know is there any software install that needs to be done after you install the RAM

[jamesbondaygee]

@AfterStory182 Exactly! And Expert Village has horrible resolution and stupid commercials! 

[NEILARMENSTRONG]

i have a gigabyte MB and bought 2 * ddr ram 2 GB each

when i add both of them the pc would give me the BSOD and if i remove any of them the pc will run fine. i have W7 32 bit coz i know XP wont support over 3 GB ram .but now i can use only 2 GB ram with W7 and its killing me........any ideas

[4tt1]

I have bought myself a new DDR2 1GB RAM card and I can't install it, there are 4 slots , 2 of them are yellow, the next two which were always unused are black. On the second slot there was always a DDR2 1GB RAM card and the thing is that it seems to have a wider appearance than the one I bought today which is quite shorter, and they're both DDR2 1GB. It looks something like this : the old one : ______ | | | | | | |_____| the new one: | | | | | | |__

[nedimhalilovic1]

is there any limit when i put more RAM

i have Windows 7 ultimate(32 bit)

1.5 GB RAM

and i want to put 3 GB RAM

[nikos3112]

is there any software update that is needed to be done when plugging in a new ram? thanks

[Jetskier1616]

@nikos3112

probably not, but you might need to update the BIOS on the motherboard.

[nicecool26]

i have a old pc can i use still this. my mohterboard is a asus and the gb ram is 448 mb ram and i will do 2 gb ram can my pc still works plz help

[Jetskier1616]

@nicecool26

It should, just make sure your motherboard supports the amount and type of RAM u want to use. Refer to the manual.

[pantus6]

you have to install it or somting after add it? ^^

[Jetskier1616]

@pantus6

like a program or driver? No.

[mefirez66]

I know the 32-bit windows xp is limited to 4 gb of ram. Does that mean when I upgrade it, I put in four ddr(x) cards with 1 gb each? Right now I have 4 of these cards with a total of 2 gb of ram, so each card is 500mb? plz help

[Jetskier1616]

@mefirez66

So ya, you could replace all of your RAM moduales with four 1 gb rams or you could replace them with two 2 gb rams, either is fine.

[jerinxd]

is that OCZ Vista upgrade edition or platinum series?

how do you install dual channel DDR2?. my mobo has 4 ddr2 slots ( color: blue+ black and blue+black) if i'm using 2 ddr2, should i install them in the same color slots? (like... use that 2 black slots? ) i just bought a pair of OCZ Reaper PC8500.

[Jetskier1616]

This is using the Vista upgrade edition.

This video shows me installing DDR2 memory.

Generally, you will install 2 duel channel DIMMs in the same color slots, but every motherboard is a little different in different ways so i would highly suggest referring to your mobo's documentation (if you don't have it then go online to the makers website.)

[jerinxd]

Thx!

i installed 'em in the same color slots, and it is running in dual channel. FSB:DRAM is 3:4.

i got that OCZ reaper 2gb (1024X 2) for $25 after mail in rebate (better than generic memory...lol)

i have a small pc and the reaper is 2X height than normal memory, so i had to relocate dvd drive.

[mp4central]

hi can you plz tell me how to look at the motherboard and know if it uses a ddr,ddr2 or ddr3? what is the differents plz,wld appreciate it alot.

[Jetskier1616]

sometimes it will say on your motherboard which is is. if not, just go to the maker of your motherboard's site and look up your motherboard model and it will tell you there.

[jepax321]

@Jetskier1616

what type is your processor?

[Jetskier1616]

@jepax321

In this video I have an AMD Athlon 64 x2 @ 2.7 ghz.
