The following is an example shot from this PC I'm currently writing on: Example Speccy 'RAM" Results

It is ultra important to ensure that you only install the correct type of memory card. You can see clearly in the Speccy RAM results above that the memory type is 'DDR'. You must be sure to match this with a new Card update. The type is always printed on the Card itself. In this case its: Memory > Type DDR

If it says that you have a free memory slot well you can buy and install a memory card. The difference when you add a card and upgrade here is really noticeable and well worth the effort. Can't recommend that enough.

Memory Cards are not difficult to install but you need to be competent in PC servicing or else hire someone to do it. It is not a big job in 'computer repair terms' and so well worth the relatively small effort to gain the positive speed and reliability benefits. Your computer will be well glad you did so and so will you!
