You may have experienced whilst using your computer a pop up window appearing and advising you that your computer was running out of memory.

This tends to happen when the computer is running more than one application or a memory hungry program.

So what exactly is this memory or RAM and what can you do to solve the problem. Your computer contains memory sticks or cards which provide the processor with an added bit of assistance when running programs whether it be an office program, a game or an accounts program. 

As programs and applications have got bigger and more sophisticated , and operating systems for that matter, so computers have had to have bigger and bigger memories.

My first PC in 1998 with windows 98 had 512 megabytes of memory, the XP machine which my wife uses has 1.5 gigabytes of memory or 3 times the memory of my original computer.  My 18 month old windows vista machine has 3 gigabytes of memory or 6 times more than my original computer and new computers and laptops now have 4 or more gigabytes of memory.

The simple fact is that to take the strain off the computers hard drive and central processing unit, you cannot have too much memory.  Of course there are limits to what you can put in your machine but for less than 12 euros for a gigabyte of memory, the difference it will make to your machine will amaze you.

It will run faster, more applications can be open at the same time without the pop up memory running out advise.

Not only that it is very easy to find out what memory you have and how much more you can add, and because computers are designed to be upgraded, adding the memory stick is easy too as long as you know what you are doing.

Adding extra memory is probably the easiest and most cost effective way of improving your computer.  If you are having problems running out of memory or you would just like a faster machine then contact me for more details and how much it might cost to have some more memory installed on your computer.
