Installing more RAM on a computer

**sadio8** · 08-24-2005, 03:58 PM

I'm interested in installing some more RAM onto my computer. However, I'm totally clueless as to how about I should go with the process. I know there are many different types of RAM. I just took a browse through a computer store and there was like dual channel ram, ddr ram, ddr2 ram, and whatnot. This is all pretty confusing for me. So can anyone give me some advice on where I should start in regards to adding more RAM on my computer? Not so much with the actual installation, but in the sense of how do I know what kind/type of RAM to get for my computer since there are so many choices out there. Like what information do I need to know about my computer and the ram currently exsisting on my computer, before i can decide on what kind of ram to purchase to add-on to my computer?
