Upgrading Your Laptop Memory

For most of us, our laptops are not portable substitutes for home desktop computers but are the primary tools we use to conduct business on a daily basis. Without our laptops, many of us would have very different lives and very different livelihoods. We cram them full of video downloads, favorite pictures and plenty of applications that demand more and more memory. When they slow down, it can be particularly frustrating and we want an instant fix.

Usually, laptop slowdowns are caused by insufficient memory (RAM). If you increase the amount of memory in your laptop, you’ll most likely see its speed increase and performance improve. But for some of us, the idea of ferreting around inside our laptops to upgrade the memory ourselves is more than a little daunting. So, here’s a simple guide to help you with the process.  Do it once, and you’ll be a pro!

1.    Check the owner’s manual. It will tell you what type of memory your laptop requires and how much room you’ll have for memory expansion. It’s also good to know how many memory cards are already in your laptop and how many slots there are altogether. To check how much memory is already installed, you can open the laptop up and take a look into it or you can run one of the free downloads available online to run on your computer to do the sleuthing for you.
2.    If you open your computer and find an empty memory slot, you’re in luck! You can just go to the store and get a memory card that fits into that slot and, voila, you’re done. Be careful not to exceed memory limits.
3.    However, if both slots on your computer or full, you’ll need to remove one of the cards to make your upgrade. You’ll most likely want to take out the one with less memory so you’ll have to buy less to make your upgrade. Again, do the math to ensure you don’t exceed the memory limit. And remember that 1GB – 1024MB, not 1000MB as one would assume.
4.    Remember, if you’re really unsure, enlist someone else who’s a bit more tech savvy for this trial run. Next time, you’ll know exactly what to do and will feel more confident in your ability.

With the affordability and ease of do-it-yourself laptop memoryupgrades, it’s not a bad idea to learn how to master the process because you may need more than just one memory upgrade.

How To Optimize Memory?

When there are some applications running simultaneously, they definitely acquire extra memory space which will lead to slow processing of the applications and other programs. Because the applications take up more memory space and reduce the working, the computer system will become slower and slower.

Memory Optimizer of Registry Winner software (<a rel=”nofollow” onclick=”javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview(‘/outgoing/article_exit_link’);” href=”http://www.registrywinner.com/regwinner.asp?mk=qj” target=”_blank”>RegistryWinner.com</a>) is designed to optimize your computer’s memory usages and make it work fast by recovering the unused memory of your system. It is a comprehensive and easy-to-use Windows utility to free up physical memory in order to speed up program access, which can easily let system run faster, smoother and more efficiently.

 The simple procedure to optimize memory is as following:

Click the Optimize PC icon in the Main interface of Registry Winner. Click the Memory Optimizer icon. Click the Fast Defrag icon to release physical memory in a fast speed without affecting the system speed. Or click the Deep Defrag icon to release the most physical memory.

Recommendation:

Fast Defrag can release physical memory in a fast speed without affecting the system speed. After the memory release, the running speed of applications will be improved because the memory has been arranged more scientifically. However, after using the Deep Defrag feature, it can lower the overall performance of the system. Because it causes the running application to re-exchange data between physical memory and virtual memory.

If you are not familiar with computer system, we recommend you choose Fast Defrag feature to optimize memory.

After using the Memory Optimizer tool, you will soon find that Registry Winner has already made your PC in a fantastic state. This leads to best system performance and a stable computing environment. Besides, there are many other additional tools in Registry Winner (<a rel=”nofollow” onclick=”javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview(‘/outgoing/article_exit_link’);” href=”http://www.registrywinner.com/regwinner.asp?mk=qj” target=”_blank”>RegistryWinner.com</a>), such as: Evidence Cleaner, Junks Cleaner, Files Shredder, BHO Manager, IE Recover, etc.
