Components
Random access memory
(RAM) is the working space
of your computer. Data and
instructions are stored there
temporarily in memory. The
most powerful processor and
the fastest hard drive will not
perform well without the
workroom to keep the data
and program close at hand.
There are several different
types of memory modules.
You must install the same
type of memory currently in
your computer. Go to the
following Web site to find
out exactly what type of
memory is in your computer:

Did you know ...
If a blank screen is displayed
after replacing the memory
module, the memory is installed
incorrectly. Repeat the
procedure to ensure that the
memory module is properly
positioned.
Tip
Upgrade the memory in your
computer with modules of the
type and speed that are identical
to the memory originally
installed in your computer.
