I got new memory and the reason im watching this is because he still keeps on reboothing when im like playing games ore what ever! and when i remove the new memory and i play my games it just runs fine.... so could you help me?

[edgetechcorp]

@jessenl93 - If this is Edge Tech RAM, you can get assistance at 1.800.25936565. If the RAM is from a different manufacturer, I would suggest contacting them for a replacement.

i have a dell optiplex gx260 and i replaced the 256mb ram with a new 1gb ram and i saw that it has to ddr slots, can i have both the 1gb and the 256mb at the same time even though there different amount

[edgetechcorp]

@escotownkrazy - Yes, your system does not require pairing. Your system should run just fine with irregular modules installed.

please answer

i have a 2gb of ram and im thinking of adding another 2gb.

does this affect more data on my computer, if i do so would i need to reinstall my harddrive when i do this procedure.

[edgetechcorp]

No, it will not. The RAM in the system only retains information while the system is powered on. Once the machine is rebooted or powered down, the RAM loses all the information stored on it.

CPU-Z is a FREE program. GET IT !!! it tells you stuff about your computer... if you do the same as this guy in this video.... and have never run cpu-z .....

then your an idiot...

[faaker69]

why is it that all these video's are just ...'' this is how you put it in.....the end...''

none of them deal with the months of research to discover the truth about compatibility ..... what tools are their... there... to help prove beyond an unreasonable doubt that you have the right stuff .... oh oh eee ohhhh....

[shadowknight1994]

So why did you need those tools again?

[jacobgovan]

I have a problem. I bought new RAM but it does not fit in the slot because a little plastic pin is not allowing it.

[uxumaki00]

does the both ram have to be the same brand?

[450rider1991]

@rscaitlo09 The RAM has an offset notch in it. It'll only go in 1 way so put it which ever way it fits... The tabs are different colors most likely because your motherboard supports or requires dual channel memory. So the slots of the same color should be filled with identical RAM cards.

[rscaitlo09]

Question: In this video he put the memory module in the opposite way of the other one. Does that matter? Or can i make it face the other way and still install it correctly? And, the lock tabs for the extra module slots on my computer are different colors than the ones that already have modules in them. Does that mean anything? Sorry if this makes me sound like an idiot I would just really like to know before i try this and mess something up.

Wow I thought it was difficult but it's really simple hahaa
