Personal Computer Memory Upgrades
Most personal computers show a visible improvement in performance if you upgrade or add memory to bring the total between 64MB and 128MB. Actually, Windows XP recommends 128MB as a minimum amount of memory. For running most of today's software and operating systems, it's very reasonable to setup your computer with at least 512MB of memory.
Adding Random Access Memory (RAM) is the most cost effective way to boost your personal computer's performance. If you are running Windows 98 or newer and you have less than 64MB of memory then you will notice a performance improvement by adding more random access memory.
Many computer problems are due to the use of sub-quality random access memory. Companies such as Corsair and Kingston have good reputations. Mushkin makes the highest quality RAM for those willing to pay a top of the line kind of price, but for top quality RAM without paying extra take some time to shop around.
There are all kinds of consumer interest comparison shopping websites that will steer you in the right direction and then it's just a matter of finding the best price on the RAM that you want to upgrade your computer with. Oftentimes the best place to find the lowest prices on computer memory is at online auction websites, like http://eBay.com.
Not all computer memory is the same. For example, older computers use SIMM memory modules whereas DIMM memory modules are common today. With older SIMM memory you may be surprised to discover that you need to by two sticks for every amount of increase to memory. This can put a damper on computer memory expansion plans. But even among compatible memory modules, there are a number of manufacturer's from which to choose. It's not only important to purchase RAM that's compatible with your computer, it's important to choose top quality RAM.
That said, there are several top quality RAM products available at some very discount stores, websites and online auction marketplaces. Just be sure to check on a seller's feedback and customer service history and you'll find the best supplier of your next computer memory.
