Computer memory is one of the easier components to replace. It is a modular product, meaning that the replacement will generally snap into the slot vacated by the old memory with no modifications required. It is also one of the least expensive parts on a machine. Memory is responsible for a large part of the computer's overall "speed" and, therefore, it is generally quite worth it to replace it on a regular basis. At least every couple of years, updates to current programs are released that require machines to be upgraded, as well.

Computer memory is purchased in amounts that must match with one another when they're placed on the circuit board. One cannot, for example, install one board of 1GB in size on a PC alongside another board of 512MB. In some cases, the computer may boot but the entire available memory will not be used by the machine. One must also make certain to purchase the same type of memory in terms of it being DDR, SDRAM and so forth. Mixing and ma tching will not work on a computer motherboard.

Installing the memory is really quite easy. One starts by removing the old memory, which involves nothing more than a couple of plastic tabs. The tabs are located at the foot of the memory, alongside the socket which attaches it to the motherboard. These sockets will release in various ways, but one simply releases the memory and pulls it free of the motherboard to start. The new cards are inserted at a slight angle until it fits snugly into the socket. It is depressed straight in until the plastic tabs grasp the circuit board. Once the it is snug in the socket, it's time to boot up the computer and test it.

The computer will run a self test as it starts. The computer memory will be tested as part of this procedure. If there is a problem, the computer will usually offer an alert or simply fail to boot at all. The memory can be removed and the computer restarted to see if it is the cause of the problem. Most often, r eseating the memory in the socket will take care of the problem. If the computer memory will not work, check to make sure that it's compatible or return it.

Answer by JoelKatz
Yes. Download a CD image of memtest86+ and burn it to CD. Don't burn the file to a CD, use the image file to make a CD from that image. (For Nero, use Nero Express to burn from an image file.) Then boot from that CD. It will thoroughly test your memory.
