[hatsumomo360]

hey dumb ass what was the trick for getting it off? that's what i want to know.

[EliasBaase]

@hatsumomo360 I'M the dumbass?

[Theshitykid]

dont buy it from best buy if u go to crucial.com u save a ton of money i think its something like 20 or 30 dollars more at best buy for a 2g ram card.

[elasticrubberband123]

an easier way is

go to crucial.com

scan your computer

it will tell you how much ram you had and what you can have..

you can purchase ram sticks from them to your specified computer.

tadah motherfucker!

[2myderbi]

haha noob!! you failed when you would open your PC!!!!

[AT25redneckin]

why dont u just touch the metal on the case which is what everyone but u does seen as how its bad that ur walking with the fabric close rubbing together so u  touching the door knob doesnt do much...

Question from a IT College Student, My Desktop already has two 512 RAM Cards for 1 Gig Operation. Can I replace the two 512 with two 1 Gig RAM Cards and still have everything work properly with better RAM Space my instructor says the motherboard can no tolerate this idea. The new cards will fit does this mean it will work or not???

[EliasBaase]

@ZAPPSOFT if your instructor says it can't handle it, it probably can't. if you google the serial number of the motherboard, you can find out the maximum RAM it can hold. once you find that out, divide that number by the number of RAM slots you have. that's how much RAM you can put into each slot. if there's enough space per slot, go for it. i'm guessing it's a max of 512 mB per slot so you probably can't upgrade. depending on what you do, it may be practical to get a new computer.

[ZAPPSOFT]

@EliasBaase It does have 2 slots for ram, As of right now only one is being used by a 512 MB. I might be able to put another one in the slot next to it to make 1024 MB (1G) I wouldn't think they would put two slots if it wasn't meant to use them both at some point. What I am doing is building a new PC, Using 750 Watts, 2 TB HDD, And the works, But I am using my original Motherboard from this PC. The Ram is really the only thing I am stuck with.

[ZAPPSOFT]

@ZAPPSOFT Plus I don't know a site to buy a motherboard from.

[raymond100100]

Why? are you touching your doornub?

[EliasBaase]

@raymond100100 to release any static charge. a little bit of static shock to the components of your computer can render them useless. usually it doesn't but it can i definitely didn't want to take the chance of breaking my computer.

[royalknightocean]

yeah i just came back to the best buy and it was 79$ cause they said its a old style so it cost more o-o....so im gonna buy it offline if i can find it ;3

[royalknightocean]

does best buy sell those types of ram? and if so how much does it cost :p

[EliasBaase]

@royalknightocean yerp. now it prolly doesn't cost that much. when i got mine it was like 30 dollars total on sale. it's prolly about the same now when not on sale. if you can find a deal somewhere, it'll prolly be like 20 to 25 dollars.

[VideoFanatic13]

i understand how to put ram in the slots i already have, but how do i add more slots 2 put in even more ram?

[EliasBaase]

you get a new motherboard.

[gta4freak666]

thank you very simple, i upraded to 4gb ram

[RyanBeckett01]

What do u type into amazon to but it :L

[EliasBaase]

just search: desktop ram

unless you have a laptop. then, find a computer repair technician around you to learn more about your specific laptop.

[RyanBeckett01]

kk thank you how do i know which one too buy ??

[EliasBaase]

find out how many gigs you can put into each slot.

[RyanBeckett01]

i currently have 2 gigs and i looked theirs only one card so can i buy another 2gigs and put it in ???

[EliasBaase]

you can get a stick that has 2 gigs on it. lucky.

yes that would be safe.

[RyanBeckett01]

ye i have 4 slots :D XD to gigs now the another two on birthday and another 2 on christmas my computer has a 1 terabyte hard drive

[EliasBaase]

you have a really good computer as long as the processor is decent.

[RyanBeckett01]

Intel(R) Core(TM) 2 Duo CPU E8500 @ 3.16GHz 3.17GHz

Good Enough ?

[RyanBeckett01]

And i'm palying to buy another 6gb so i will have 8gb Super quick :D

[EliasBaase]

once you get above 4 or 5 gigs, it doesn't really change much.

[saletrans123]

can i add ram slots? i have 2 slots filled with 2gb rams so 4gb rams in it... can i add more slots somehow? i have another 2 gb...

[Mastermind12358]

@saletrans123

nope,

[saletrans123]

thanks :(

[lockonfighter1]

wow same computer

[finfin95]

thanks very helpful dont listen to those knobs 5/5 *subscribed*

[JigglesDaJuggalo]

can you replace your ram with any ram if not how can you find out

[EliasBaase]

find ram that's the same shape as the RAM in your comp.

[Ubuntu1user1jb]

you can go to cruical website

it will tell what ram you need

[2000daniella]

aahhahahahahah i didnt touch a piece of metal and half way through got a shock HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

[EliasBaase]

that's not good. hope it's not messed up.

[RandomDoomsday15]

i might take my PC to Staples so they can upgrade the RAM for me. Or maybe my dad.

[Byahbang]

lolz i thumbs down da hate comments lolz

[EliasBaase]

thanx.

[TkMToM1993]

yes u suk,,, very much

[cremerdude]

are you gay. taadaa yay... FUCKING FAIRY

[cremerdude]

ur fucking useless and btw funny hair

[el1te0n3]

lol yer hair looks funny

[threedayswaste]

what is the normal amount of gigabytes on a computer

[EliasBaase]

um... there's no real answer to that question. you're gonna want to add ram based on the OS you have running.

xp-1 gig

vista-2 gig

7-1.5 gig.

i personally have 3 gigs.

[deadlyhydra]

@RandomDoomsday15: you can't risk your life touching the metal things in the pc... unless you left power cord in the cord slot!

[Mastermind12358]

@RandomDoomsday15

haha risking youre life ?

[findil1]

about 2gb

[BigColton76]

Hey can you link me to were you baught yours? I have the same desktop and need the same. But i cant seem to find the ram you are talking about.

[EliasBaase]

i got mine at my local office depot. you can also get it at similar kind at walmart.

[UltraCrackerBoy]

your not funny when you make a joke(in this video)

even though im never funny

[titiestothemax]

i have 2 slots can i just exchange one of the rams

[Brandennarc]

How do you tell which RAM you have anyways?

[EliasBaase]

in the computer-manufacturers website.

the actual ram stick-the shape and number of pins. there's mainly two types: desktop and laptop.

i think laptop is called simm and desktop is called dimm. don't quote me on the last part tho.

[AcidGamez]

hey uhm i have an acer -looks just like yours- can you link me to a site to buy a 1gb ram stick it allready has 1gb built in but i want to have 2gbs of ram thanks! alsoo another note would it be safe for me to put a geforce 9400 gt in an acer mine allready has geforce 6100 in it ? and by geforce im talking video cards

[EliasBaase]

i just went to office depot and but some kingston ram. if yours is like mine, it can hold 4 gigs of ram so getting another gig of ram shouldn't be that hard. i recommend 3 gigs total or more if you're going to be doing gaming.

[EliasBaase]

i recently put a evga geforce 9600 gso in mine and there's barely enough space in that chasis for it but that's also a very large card. as for the 9400 gt, i looked it up and it should fit fine. it'll prolly cover up the pci slot next to the pcie slot which is what you'll prolly put your new card in. i personally have never used the pci slot.

hope this helps. comment or pm me with your response.

[EliasBaase]

*you'll prolly put the card in the pcie slot and your card will cover up the pci slot next to it. it'll be fine.

*your ram won't take up any room.

[AcidGamez]

thanks you helped me alot im going to be buying 4 gig's of ram total :] also i think ima upgrade to 9500 DDR3 or DDR2 1 gig im not real sure witch ones better lol im gusing the DDR3 but it only has 512mb instaead of 1gig that the ddr2 has anyway thanks again :]

[kilplayer]

i have 3 slots how do i know what kind of RAM fits in it?

[EliasBaase]

manufacturers website.

[element769]

but i cant find that kind of ram

[EliasBaase]

prolly ddrII (ddr2). i got my RAM at office depot.

[element769]

my ram is ddr11 or ddrll i cant tell

[entyceit]

the fairy dance at the end was epic. good job.

[KingSamLopez]

you think you dont have a good computer but you do i have a gaming pc and i cant do anythink i cant play any games that where for single core and apps like windows 95 stick with that computer it is going to be a god send when people find out muit core processer is a cheap way of processering

[rockandroses4u]

wow, You're such a nerd.

[TheVideoGuy77]

my comouter has 256mb of ddr2 memory and i want 1 gig so does that mean i need to 512mg memory sticks?

[gunudown498]

no it means you need to get a 1gig memory stick

[EliasBaase]

only if your slots can hold it.

if they can, go for it.

[jet512345]

my computer does a continuasly beeeep sound... but before i installed a graphic card it never did that..

[EliasBaase]

that means your graphics card may not be compatible with your operating system or your motherboard. look at the manufacturers website and see if it's compatible with your motherboard. if it is, look at the windows hardware compatibility list. if they're both compatible, seek official help.

[skimp241]

im eather geting 4 or 8 gigs of ram lol im building a gameing rig i all redy know how to put it to geter just like waching vids nice vid =p

[EliasBaase]

yep

[alenor3]

i checked how much RAM my computer had. it had 958 MB RAM is that ok or should i realy get more?

[EliasBaase]

that's not bad. if you have vista i recommend getting like half a gig or a whole gig more. if you have xp there's no need to upgrade. if you're comp is slow and you have xp, try getting a better processor. whichever one is lower than average, update it. glad to help.

[alenor3]

ok thx=) i have vista and my computer realy is slow sometimes. i should get some more then. about how much does 1 gig cost?

[EliasBaase]

mine was on sale sale for like 18 bucks but you can get some for about 25-30 dollars. i think it's a little pricey.

[TAKHAR5000]

my pc only has 192mb of ram. :(. and i wanna ask, is it possible to install a graphics card in ur pc if it has a motherboard only??

[EliasBaase]

yea. there should be a slot on the motherboard for a video card. if there isn't then i don't know what to tell you. good luck

[TAKHAR5000]

if possible can u make a vid of how to do it plz.

thnx in advanced

[EliasBaase]

i'll see what i can do. i'm not upgrading my vieo anytime soon but i can show you where it goes. it might be a while before i can make the video though.

[TAKHAR5000]

ok, thanks. : )

[torrespimp510]

why you have to touch a door nob

[07megaram]

to relieve any static electricity

[ultradragonlordofwow]

(\_/)

( '-' )

(..)(..)

ya dude if you dont touch metal like you know when u get shocked by someone fingers sometimes well if you touch ur computer it will frie it

[aref666]

LOL

[xxxxThatRogersboyxxx]

lucky for me theres a bunch of wires in the yaaay lulz

[anastaciadreams]

for christmas**

[anastaciadreams]

you have the same acer as me! i hate it. i have the Hp pavillion elite m9400 with the w2280h monitor :)

[EliasBaase]

i kno wow sucks and wutever anti-virus program you had was very good. i bet it was free. get norton or something. people may say it sux but i've tried downloading many things that turned out to be viruses and norton blocked them right away. not even porn can break it's defenses. plus, windows has so much more functionality. it's useless to try and use a mac for anything but spreadsheets and java writing. go get a good comp with vista premium or ultimate. it's so much better.

[EliasBaase]

wasn't very good ^

[fiishface17]

haha PC's SUCK!!

[EliasBaase]

so do mac.

[fiishface17]

nahh macs are better

i had a pc and had troubles with it

switched.

[EliasBaase]

you just needed an anti-virus program. macs don't do anything but business stuff and world of warcraft.

[fiishface17]

i did have an anti-virus program. I still got viruses anyways.

Must of been the porn. lol

nahh but still i have almost every program i had on my pc on my mac

BTW world of warcraft sucks!!

[EliasBaase]

i kno wow sucks and wutever anti-virus program you had was very good. i bet it was free. get norton or something. people may say it sux but i've tried downloading many things that turned out to be viruses and norton blocked them right away. not even porn can break it's defenses. plus, windows has so much more functionality. it's useless to try and use a mac for anything but spreadsheets and java writing. go get a good comp with vista premium or ultimate. it's so much better.

[streetking1337]

i think its to complicated to find out what kind of ram i have T_T

[Slovenec10]

oh my god

[mariologoin]

[EliasBaase]

[ProjectAris]

[EliasBaase]
