more memory. (Random Access Memory). Possibly better to get it done professionally if you don't know much about it but it should be a simple enough thing to arrange.

Increase the memory. Key in your PC details here:

can't Lambaste me for it though Butt

[douglas9401]

I'm sure it means that you need more memory. I've used a company called Crucial in the past. You input the details of your computer in the appropriate section of their website, it then recommends upgraded chips which you buy and install. It's surprisingly easyPC.

Go somewhere reputable to purchase it.

Don't get fleeced !!

RAM stands for Random Access Memory, and it's also known as your computer's Short Term memory. If you don't mind fiddling about with your computer's innards, it's a straightforward job, but, if you don't fancy doing that, ask a local computer expert to do it for you. Tell him to install more memory. He will find out exactly how much extra memory your computer can take, and he'll do the job for you. I got a local PC expert to do it for me, plus a repair job, and everything now is running fine.

So many purls of wisdom, this thread's for the chop.

With all due respect, if you don't know what RAM is, I would advise you take it to a professional rather than attempting this yourself.

[jackthehat]

I dunno............some of the answers are mint !! :o)

[squarebear]

Not sure why it's in the law section though.

[douglas9401]

I have to agree with squarebear, no point in going at it like a bull at a gate.

[squarebear]

Don't let them pull the wool over your eyes.

[NazNomad]

Don't get yourself in a stew about it, even though the computer expert might try to pull the wool over your eyes.

[squarebear]

EWE won't appear SHEEPISH as they will MEAT plenty of people without FLEECing them too BAAAAAAAdly.

Get yourself some more RAM whilst you're at it- it might help you to remember to post in the correct Topic forum!!!
