Adding hardware.

[snaxs]

thanks.

well, believe it or not all you have to do is remove the old memory (Simply unclick it from the motherboard) and insert the new memory (push down, it should clip in.) It takes about 30 seconds and you don't have to pay best buy $30 and lose your computer for a week. :thumb:
I don't know of any tutorials, but seriously, you just have to unclip the old stuff, and slide the new stuff in.

Like the others said, you just unclip the old and put in the new :)

Here's where the memory is:

THat's a small pc... But yes, next to the prosesor You see a space where you can instert it. Just shut down your pc. Make sure there is no power going throw your pc. THe set it in there. And run your pc. And it works. HuurrrRaayyyy!

Make sure you put it in the right way. It is v bad to RAM the wrong way up

Quick guide:

1) Shut down the computer and disconnect all devices (keyboard, mouse, power cable, monitor, printer, lan cable ...) Basically make it so that there is nothing connected to the computer anymore.

2) Pick up the computer case and place it on a table that is large anough and stable enough. Make sure there's enough light so you can work comfortable.

3) Make sure you don't have any static electricity on you. Static elelctricity is highly dangerous for computer hardware: always make sure you're un-static electricity'd. Do this by grabbing a grounded object (I don't now if the word is grounded in English), such as the radiator. Grab it with both hands.

4) Now, you can open up your computer case. When opened, look for the RAM slots on the motherboard (njs's picture). Take it out, and look closely at the way it was in the slot. In the same way, now slide your memory card in one of the open slots.

Note: If you have a Pentium 4, it is possible that your motherboard requires all RAM slots to be occupied. For this reason it might be possible that there are dummy RAM cards inserted in some of the slots. If so, take one out and place the new one in. Just make sure all slots are occupied.

It might take a little power to place the memcard into the slot. When you hear a click, and the white caps are in their place at the sides of the memcard, you've done it correctly. If the card doesn't seem to slide in very well, don't force it ! Take it out and try again until it fits in nicely.

5) That's it, close your computer, connect all devices and boot ! :thumb:

This is RAMBUS tech. All the slots muct have a CRIMM or a RIMM in the slot. The system board reads data from both "ends" of the bus which is why there has to be a chip in each slot. :)

Remember to use E.S.D. though, ya dont wanna fux ya comp.

I got a bunch of 64 MB memory module from a friend of mine who doesn't even have a computer. They're brand new and I was wondering if I could add them to my motherboard. I've got a pretty high speed computer but sadly I don't know the specs on anything.

I opened it up just out of curiousity and I've got 3 empty slots into which they'll fit. Can I stick'em in there. I only ask 'cause I've heard the 128 something can't mix with 64 or something like that.

Any ideas?

First you must see what type of memory you got from your friend, and which type your motherboard uses. If it is a different sort, you can't use it. If it's the same however, you can just plug it in.
