hi
i was wondering if i could get some advice please?
i have an old Optiplex745 computer and it has 2GB of RAM in it
i want to put another 2GB of RAM in it
this is my fist time at this and i have a couple of questions
i have another old computer that would have DDR2 RAM that i could switch over. but is it as easy as putting it in? would it be compatible? does it just have to be DDR2? and then bingo it works?
and if it dosnet work and the computer dosent boot, would you render you computer broken if its not compatible? so if the RAM dosent work, is it as easy as taking it out again and booting the PC again and it would be fine?
i am aware of the risk of static electricity,
i have a couple of options, i can bring both computers to the shop and get him to switch them over, if the RAM dosent work, i can ask him if hes got some DDR2 lying around and put them in?
any advice on this would be great guys!
thankyou
