Introduction

A computer has RAM (random access memory) as a place to hold the information it is computing. This is important because it takes longer to pull the information from the hard drive. Upgrading to a higher RAM capacity will increase computing speeds because it won't have to take information from the hard drive as often.

    • When both spring clips are pressed open, RAM stick should pop up. If it doesn't pop up on its own, you can pull it up. If spring clips are properly removed, you shouldn't encounter any resistance.

    • Lift RAM stick away from plug.
