Q: My computer has 256 RAM,yet a message came up for needing more virtual memory. The geek squad desk said to bring it in cost about 300.00, and I thought that my computer guy had up-graded my computer,but I guess that he didn't. My existing space shows that I have none to spare. What to do?
A: just go to www.crucial.com and run the free memory scanner test, quick and easy and free. I bet it will cost you about $45 to buy the memory and do it yourself. then when you get the memory, ground yourself out so you do not kill the memory with statc discharge and install it into your computer. do not push to hard, if you have to push hard something is not aligned correctly or you have the memory reversed. be careful and you can do it! here is a picture showing some types of common RAM memory available. http://www.cheapestpcrepair.com/wow/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/ram-types.jpg
