One of the easiest ways to improve the performance of your laptop is to install more memory (RAM). Most laptops have two memory slots (DIMM) and memory using a smaller and denser than desktop RAM.
Always turn off the laptop to perform this procedure and make sure you use a non-magnetic screwdriver to remove screws to access the memory slots. Check your manual to determine where the memory slots. There are two main areas in the memory slots are located behind a cover on the bottom of the laptop or behind the keyboard.

Do not use tools to remove or install memory modules. Then take the introduction of new module of its anti-static bag and hold it by the ends. If you have more than one open slot, fill the lowest numbered slot first. Align the notch in the row of metal pins on the bottom of the module with the key in the DIMM slot on the motherboard. (If the notch does not line up right away, turn around his form and prove otherwise. No matter which side of the module has the token black or stickers on it. The important thing is to align the notch.) Hold the module at an angle of 45 degrees to the slot and slide it into place. Not more than 1 / 16 “of gold contacts is displayed when the module is correctly inserted into the slot. Hold the module at an angle of 45 degrees to the slot and press firmly in place. It may take 20 to 30 pounds of pressure to install a module. Press the top of the module until it is flat against the motherboard and you hear a click. Never try to force the memory into the slot to do could corrupt memory or laptop. If it is not installed with minimal pressure, to take the memory chip and try to install the new memory chip.
