The best advice for buying computer memory is to begin by doing some research. This area of technology is fast-paced and is always improving. It is not worth it to spend a lot of money on memory that is already out of date. For example, the new computer memory is available and has advantages over older computer memory technology.

| Do not invest in memory that isn't compatible with your computer or isn't designed to interact with other forms of already installed memory (if that's the case). You can find out what types of computer memory are compatible with your PC by contacting your PC's manufacturer or by referring to your owner's manual. Also, most manufacturers' websites have detailed information about purchasing and installing additional computer memory.
If you are using your computer for video game play frequently, upgrade the V-RAM, or Video RAM. In short, regular computer memory cannot maintain enough of a charge to run video-enabled applications.
Also, pay attention to the amount of computer memory that your computer can cache (or put in its briefcase of temporary files). If you install more memory than your computer can cache, the upgrade will actually decrease performance.
Once you have bought extra computer memory, be sure to speak to your vendor (or the manufacturer, if you purchased your machine directly) for advice on how to install it. Computer memory is one of the best ways to optimize your computer.

When all else fails - see a professional. If none of the above works to improve your computer's memory performance, take your computer to a computer repair centre or consult your dealer or computer brand website for suggestions. Memory is the backbone of your computer. When you optimise your memory's performance, you'll optimise the performance of your entire machine.
