If your computer seems to stagger under the burden of your commands,

responding slowly, freezing or timing you out; if working at your

system feels like bicycling uphill, consider adding extra memory.

operating system, programs and documents use when your computer is

running. (Don't confuse RAM with hard drive storage, which is where

your files are stashed.) For years, processors and software have been

growing increasingly RAM-hungry. A decade ago, 64MB of RAM was

considered more than enough, but today that's laughably inadequate.

Adding memory to your computer isn't so hard -- here's a step-by-step

and installing it yourself...
