Adding RAM

Hi,
When you add RAM, do you just have to add it, and then you will have the effect of this added RAM, or is there anything to install etc. Same with the video card. Does anything else need to be done, or is it nice and simple Rolling Eyes

Thanks a lot Very Happy

Fitting extra ram is easy,just pop it in and just start the PC (you have to make sure that you are fitting compatable ram for your mobo)
Fitting a graphics card is a little different,as you will have drivers to install

Well there are a couple of ways to check,the easy way is to go in to the bios(reboot your PC and press F2) and it will tell you what speed and type
It should also tell you how many memory modules you have

The other way is to pop the side of the PC off and remove one and check any labels for numbers(put them into Google and it will tell you more)
This way you can instantly see how many memory modules you have,and how many you can put in

Dell make a lot of their own components and use a strange way numbering items

Video cards are a different animal. They too just plug in but you will have to follow the instructions on how to install the drivers. Different video cards may install the software differently.
