I have a DELL Dimension 3000 computer. Is it hard to install extra memory?

Don't worry about the anti static wrist strap, leave the power lead to the computer plugged in but turned off at the wall and use the computer case to earth yourself before handling the ram.

Thanks Chuck very helpful. I assume you dont remove any part but simply insert the memory?

Depends on what is already in there...

if you have already got all slot occupied then you'll have to remove some to make room to fit larger capacity RAM..

otherwise just plug in the extra.

There is a scanner here that will tell you excatly what you have in your machine and what to buy, you don't have to buy from the site but it will ensure you get the correct memory

Also don't go too mad... windows will not use more than 3.5gb of ram and to be honest much more than about 2gb is normally not worth it.
