 Ram

Is the physical hardware inside a computer that temporarily stores data

[1]
 1. Consult your motherboard's manual 

As easy as it is to pop RAM sticks into your motherboard, You

want to make sure you're putting the RAM into the correct slots to
get the full performance out of them. Which slots you go with will
also depend on how many RAM sticks you have.

[2]
 2 - Open your RAM slots

Once you know where your RAM needs to go,

you're ready to start installing. Each RAM slot will
have two small clips at either side. Press these
down to open them. They don't need to move very
far, so don't use too much force.

Choosing Your New RAM

As with most things about upgrading your PC, figuring

out what you need and then doing some comparison
shopping is the hard part. After that, physically
installing your new memory is a breeze by
comparison. Here are some of the things you’ll need
to figure out when making your decision.

How Much RAM Do You Need?

Generally speaking, more RAM is better. That

said, the law of diminishing returns applies.
Moving from 4 GB to 8 GB of RAM is likely to
make a huge difference. Moving from 8 GB to 16
GB still shows some good gains in performance,
but not as much. And moving beyond 16 GB is
[5]
going to be a smaller boost still. Of course,
some of that depends on what you use your PC
for.

RAM buying considerations

There are different types of RAM. Most PCs use

DDR3 memory, but older system may require DDR2
or even DDR. A small segment of high-end PCs now
use DDR4 memory, and in another few years the
[6]
industry will likely standardize on it. But for now,
DDR3 is king.

How to install RAM in your PC

With the buying considerations out of the way and

8GB of DDR3 1866MHz memory freshly delivered to
your door step, it’s time to install your new RAM. It's a
quick and rather painless task—assuming you’ve
done all your homework.
[7]
First, shut down your computer and unplug all of the
cables connected to it. Then remove the side of the
computer case so you can access the motherboard.
The RAM slots are adjacent to the CPU socket. Look
for the big heat sink at the top of the motherboard,
and you'll see either two or four memory slots next to
it.
