putting in extra ram

Matt3989 · 02-04-2007, 01:52 AM

OK so my sister is getting rid of her old computer, and i needed the cd drive from it so while i was taking that I decided I would take her memory as well, it fits into the extra slot that I have.

now my question is does adding that second peice of ram make my computer faster? both the original and the other are DDR and I believe they are the same size.

Sorry if this is a dumb question or if it isn't clear, but Im new to the whole working on computers thing, just tell me if you have any question about what I am saying

Yes in most cases it should make it go faster. Always make sure that the RAM slots are identical before attempting to put it in.

How many slots do you have? How many are full, and what do they have in them. Also what are you planning on adding?
