Upgrading RAM

Entrity · 31 May 2015 at 17:55

Hello everyone,

If I want to upgrade my ram, Is it just as simple as taking out what I have now and putting the new ones in? Would I need to change anything in the Bios or is it more of just plug and play.

Also would you be able to recommend a good 2x8GB RAM to get?

Thanks.

Changing it is very simple provided;

You are putting in compatible Dimm's of the same spec RAM

Which isn't "so" straight forwards, what type of ram are you upgrading DDR3 ? and what CPU and Mobo u have can influence the choice too.....

I'm sure there will someone who really knows their stuff to drop you a line and help you :-)

I do use my computer primarily for gaming. Would you be able to recommend a good 2x8GB RAM?
