  1. One thing I would like to say is before getting more pc memory, check out the machine in to which it could well be installed. When the machine is usually running Windows XP, for instance, a memory limit is 3.25GB. Applying above this would merely constitute just a waste. Make certain that one’s motherboard can handle an upgrade amount, as well. Interesting blog post.
