RAM chips

Postby Susie Hamilton » January 7th, 2009, 2:48 pm

I need to change 2 256 chips for 2 512 chips. I have the new chips. Do I need to do anything to dump memory before I change out the chips? My doing this is like a plumber working on the space shuttle. I need step by step instructions. I am doing this because my puter is slow loading. Thanks.

I have swapped out RAM a lot in different machines. It should be zero problem. Shut down, open it up, carefully switch the modules, and reboot.

Since RAM is designed to be temporary memory, you should lose nothing of importance, and the new RAM will reload when you restart.

Thank you. That sounds simple. I will try that tomorrow evening.

Be sure to ground yourself with an anti-static strap or that you are not charged with any static electricity etc. ( skip the process if you zap a door knob etc) Just to be safe.

Rahab , turn the power off and remove the old chips and replace with new chips. You will not lose any data.

Do be aware of static electricityas Macuser suggest..

and one more thing. Dont Force. They snap in one way only. look
at the tabs/notches at the ends.
