RAM UPGRADE

[Jeff2017]

I have an opportunity to work from home using this computer but would have to increase the RAM to 4 GB. My system properties page shows I only have 3 GB with 2.75 GB usable.  I am seeing videos on YouTube that states this can be done by going to your system properties and increasing your virtual memory.  I tried it but my system properties still show 3GB.  Will I have to physically do this inside the hard drive?

Hi,

Your machine ONLY has 3GB of RAM now:

If you wish to insrease RAM, you have to buy more RAM using the following information

Memory upgrade information

• Dual channel memory architecture
• Two DDR2 DIMM (240-pin) sockets
• Supported DIMM types:
  • PC2-5300 (667 MHz)
  • PC2-6400 (800 MHz)
• Non-ECC memory only, unbuffered
• Supports 2GB DDR2 DIMMs
• Supports up to 4 GB* on 32 bit PCs

Note: Currently it has 2GB+1GB, please note the specs of the 2GB stick, go out and buy a same one then replace the 1GB stick.

The video has nothing to do with this case.

Regards.
