Increase Your Laptop's Performance

There are a large number of people who throw away their resources every year by buying brand new computers and discarding off the old ones at negligible prices. This is because that after a duration of 6 or 8 months their system's speed steadily declines and after every fresh installation of either a program or a game the condition worsens and ultimately it starts taking a lot of time even on the easiest of processes. But little do they know that despite the recommendations of their system manufacturers, who will always suggest purchasing a new computer, you can greatly improve the speed of your computer just by upgrading its memory or RAM (Random Access Memory)

Upgrading your RAM will help improve the performance of your system and your computer will be able to handle more games with greater ease. Fortunately, the part that is responsible for your computer's speed can be simply upgraded and also at a very reasonable price. Before upgrading your system memory or RAM you must know what type of RAM the computer utilizes? How it is configured, and how many RAM slots do you have in your motherboard, also if the computer memory is parity or non-parity. All these questions can be answered by studying the manual that came with your computer or by visiting your computer manufacturers' website. But more easily, RAM sites such as ramvalley.com offers online services such as RAM seekers, which will automatically scan your system and suggest the most optimal RAM upgrade for you thus simplifying our work.

People are usually surprised at how much difference a small RAM upgrade can make to their computer's efficiency. Normally a RAM upgrade can extend the usable life of your computer by another 2 to 3 years, at the fraction of the cost of purchasing a new one.

What normally comes to mind when thinking of a memory upgrade is, "How much RAM do I need?"
The answer to that greatly depends on what do you use your computer for, but as a rough estimate 512MB will be more than enough for majority of users, 512MB gives you enough room for Windows XP to run, and enough left over for a couple of internet applications, chat programs, antivirus and malware applications, and an excel spreadsheet or word processor all working simultaneously at acceptable speeds.

As for games, if you play moderate games and also do some photo editing on your computer such as using Photoshop tools, then you should consider getting 1 GB of RAM.
And if you use your system as a powerhouse and use it for editing photos, love editing and uploading videos to youtube and enjoy extreme level gaming then in that case you should think of purchasing 2 GB of RAM.

You can purchase your system RAM from various sources, made by various manufacturers. Before buying any RAM be sure to find out if the RAM is guaranteed to be compatible with your system or notebook (This is usually taken care of by the online memory analyzer tool explained earlier), ask for a return policy, and always make sure that the RAM device you are buying is backed by a lifetime warranty.
