Summary: A brief guide to finding and installing more memory (RAM)
Review: Getting more memory is one of the best ways to speed up your computer without buying a new one entirely. If you have 32 megabytes of memory (RAM - Random Access Memory) or less, then you should really consider getting this 256 megabyte memory upgrade. Among other things, your web-browsing experience will be better as you'll find that your computer is more responsive.

To find the right memory, make sure that you know what type of memory you can use. Find this out by either checking your computer manual, calling your manufacturer's customer support line, or checking on your manufacturer's web site. You should especially note whether your machine takes 133MHz RAM (PC133). If it doesn't, then you'll need to get RAM with another speed (usually 66MHz for machines made before 1999, or 100MHz from 1999 to 2000). Note that the number for RAM memory speed is different from your CPU speed (though they are both measured in 'MHz')

Once you have found that out, get the memory you need. 256 megabytes will do great! (Note that Microsoft's new operating system, Windows XP, requires at least 64 megabytes of RAM for itself, so you probably shouldn't consider less than 64 if you are shopping around)

Then, once you have the memory, follow the simple instructions on the box. Basically, you'll need to 1) open up your computer and 2) plug the memory into a 'slot'.

Opening up your computer is usually described in your computer manual. Plugging the memory into the slot is usually pretty easy as it's easy to find the right slot (make sure it clicks into place).

Turn your computer on and presto! You'll have a much more responsive experience. To check that it works, right-click on the 'My Computer' icon and select 'Properties'. A dialog box will appear with the amount of RAM listed on the bottom.

Enjoy your upgraded computer!

Review: I had nothing but trouble with my system for months, I finally decided to swap out the RAM (tried everything else) and I haven't had a single problem since. I'm sold on Viking forever!

Summary: great memory upgrade
Review: I installed this 256MB DIMM in a new Sony 1.8 GB VAIO desktop, which came with 256MB RAM - which should have given me 512MB, but when I started the machine up... I started getting an error sound-code, so I shut down the system. I had tried installing the Viking DIMM in the #2 slot ... since this failed I tried removing the original DIMM from the #1 slot and installing the new DIMM in it's place. I moved the Sony DIMM to #2 and re-booted. This time the Sony came to life and registered 512MB.
The Viking DIMM is a great product and has vastly improved the Sony's performance.
