Step 3
Examine the first two items of the menu that opens: "Memory slots" and "Memory". The first paragraph contains information about the number of occupied and available slots for connecting RAM.
Step 4
In the second paragraph, the following parameters are important for you:
Type - DDR2;
Volume - 3072 MB;
Channels - Two;
DRAM frequency 550.0 MHz.
This means that 2 or 3 DDR2 RAM sticks are connected to the motherboard of your computer, the total volume of which is 3072 MB, and their average clock frequency is 550 MHz.
Step 5
Now read the instructions for your motherboard. To get detailed information about this device, visit the official website of its manufacturer. Find out the maximum amount of RAM with which this device works.
Step 6
Based on the information received about the maximum volume and number of free slots, purchase one or more RAM sticks. Please note that the total clock frequency of the RAM strips will be equal to the frequency of the weakest strip. Those. you shouldn't buy an expensive 1300 MHz board and connect it together with a bracket that supports only 600 MHz.
Step 7
Open the lid of the system unit and connect the new RAM sticks. Naturally, in the event that the motherboard supports the operation of RAM in dual-channel mode, it is better to install the same memory sticks in paired slots.
