Due to the fact that the requirements for personal computers are constantly increasing, the devices inside the system unit have to be updated more often than once every 2 years. Fortunately, hardware becomes cheaper over time. This is due to the fact that there are constant updates in the IT industry.
Necessary
- - Everest Ultimate Edition software;
- - RAM strips.
Instructions
Step 1
A few years ago, it was considered quite normal to increase virtual memory in order to unload its virtual counterpart. Today it is more rational to make an upgrade and buy a couple of RAM sticks. Every day the price for this product decreases sharply. Now you will not surprise anyone with 4 Gb memory, at the moment it is like a standard.
Step 2
Before you buy RAM, you need to determine its type. To do this, you need to use the documentation for your computer. If there is no documentation, for sure, there is a price list of prefabricated components of your system unit. If this is not the case, there is only one way out - to install special software that will scan the entire computer in order to determine its components.
Step 3
There are many programs of this kind, but we should be interested in a program that can, firstly, be quickly downloaded from the Internet, and, secondly, which will give a complete list of installed devices with an indication of their configurations. Only one program meets these two conditions - Everest Ultimate Edition (a program of small size and with the ability to generate a full report at the end of the scan).
Step 4
This utility can be downloaded from the official website lavalys.com. After downloading the program, run it by double-clicking the left mouse button on the installation file. After starting the program, a system scan will begin and, after a few seconds (the scanning speed is directly proportional to the computer's speed), you can examine the configuration of your computer.
Step 5
To determine the type of memory and the number of slots in which you can install the brackets, you must click on the "Computer" section in the left part of the program window and select the "Summary information" item. On the right side of the window, go to the "Motherboard" block and pay attention to the "System memory" item (here you can see the total amount of system memory, its type and the number of occupied slots).
Step 6
The information received must be recorded and with this data you can go to any computer store. To avoid an error, as a result of which you can pick up the wrong strap of RAM, it is advisable to print the data from the "Summary Information" page.
