How do I add RAM ?

hello,
i am a tech freak and have a simple question here:
any one has any clue on how I can go about "adding RAM" and what that means ? i got a printer, Brothers HL 2040 recently and it prints fine from my ibook G4 OS 10.3, but I was also advised to "add RAM" "to it" ? What does that mean and how do i go about doing that.
xx

Hey Mr,
How on earth am I supposed to know, as a novice, ( and I DID QUALIFY THAT) that there is adding of RAM to a :
1. Printer
2. Computer ???
The question was unprecise for exactly that reason !! I didn't know, and needed consultation on whether in the context of having bought a particular model of printer, should one add RAM ?? I didn't know there is such a thing called adding RAM to a printer and adding RAM to a computer !
If that phrase is self explanatory from your perspective, then perhaps you needn't have answered my question. I don't think the sarcastic reply was helpful or is warranted.

  • How do you add RAM to a Macbook 2.1

    I have a Macbook 2.1 thats about a 2006 model. It's running MAC OS X 10.5.8 and has 512mb of memory 667 MHz DDR2 SD Ram. I  want to install Mac OS X Snow Leopard 10.6.3 but it says that I require at least 1GB of RAM.
    Can anyone tell me how to do this, what i need to buy? I recently bought a new ipod nano and it won't work because i cannot update to the next level of itunes.
    I'm not that computer savvy, so please keep it simple.
    Thank you. TDM.

    You can put two 2gb RAM sticks in your model 2,1 but it can only use 3,3gb. This is a hardware limitation and cannot be changed.

    How do I Add second monitor to my ALL in One ENVY23 that has a HDMI port the computer has Win 8  Model #: 23se-d494

    Serial #: [edited Serial Number by Moderator]
    Software Build #: 14AM1HRA601#SABA#DABA

    Here are the specs for your HP ENVY TouchSmart 23se-d494 All-in-One Desktop Computer. Based the specs, the HDMI port on the side of your computer is an INPUT only. This model doesn't have a video output of any kind.

    You will need to purchase and use a USB-to-video adapter such as the EVGA UV Plus+ UV39 (or any of the many other adapters on the market) to connect an external display to your computer. I personally use and recommend the EVGA UV Plus+ UV39.

  • How do I add memory to a MacBook Pro?

    How do I add memory to my MacBook Pro?

    You have to open the bottom cover of the MBP to get to the memory slots.  There are about 10 very small screws around the perimeter, some of which are longer than others so you have to be very careful not to mix them up when you take the cover off.  You will need a very small phillips-head screwdriver (small jewelers size).   Once you have removed the screws you may have to gently pry the cover off (there is some sticky stuff inside).  You will then see the RAM slots more or less in the middle of the computer.
    The booklet that came with your MBP has instructions about how to insert/remove the RAM SODIMMs ... there is a plastic tab on each side of the SODIMMs that you push outward and the RAM will pop up slightly ... you can then gently pull it out.   Note there is a slot cut in the pin edge of the SODIMMs ... remember it's orientation so you put the new RAM in the same way.  It only goes in one way.
    It's wise to use the crucial.com Memory Advisor first so you get the exact kind & amount of RAM that is compatible with your MBP.

  • How do you add more memory to a macbook circa 2007

    how do you add memory to a macbook mid-2007?

    >If you have a Mid 2007 MacBook, that can use up to 3GB RAM.
    Since that model can use an odd number RAM capacity upgrade, with
    a total of 3GB between two memory slot locations, you could put one
    piece of RAM of 1-GB in a slot, and in the other, a 2-GB RAM chip...

    Memory Slots:    2 - 200-pin PC2-5300 (667MHz) DDR2 SO-DIMM
    Recommendations have been to check the spec and model computer
    against the on-site parts suggestions for the computer model identifier
    at OWC macsales.com, or check into Crucial.com for specific match
    based on their information. OWC tends to be an easier way if you know
    the MacBook model identifier, and if yours actually is the Mid-2007 vs
    another different one. The Late-2007 can use up to 6GB RAM.

  • How can I add more memory to my iPad?

    How can I add more memory to my iPad?

    Memory refers to RAM, and can't be increased.
    I asume you mean storege space (like 16GB, 32GB, etc). It also can't be increased.
    There are some wireless external hard drives that can be used with the iPad.
    The Kingston Wi-Drive, which costs $50 for the 16 Gigabyte, and then $30 more for every 16 gigs more. It works by you turning it on and then accessing the files on it from an app that you download on your iDevice. You can access music, movies, and other stuff. No connections or anything, it works like a WiFi connection, you connect to it from the setting on the iPad under wireless networks.
    Then there is the Seagate GoFlex, which some would recommend over the Wi-Drive. But this one costs $199 and had 500 Gigabytes of storage. It works the sameway as the Kingston: no wires, runs over its wireless connection. You can actually fit up to 300 HD movies on it.
    Another option:
    Expand your iPad's storage capacity with HyperDrive

  • How do I add more Memory to the 2 open slots in my iMac - it is 4GB now

    How do I add more Memory to the 2 open slots in my iMac ???  It is 4GB now and I get the spinning beach ball often when several Apps are running.
    Does the Apple Store sell and install???
    Please advise if you have upgraded your iMac memory

    Go to a website such as OWC or Crucial's, determine which type of RAM your computer needs, and buy it from that site. They provide installation instructions on the site.

  • How do I add more memory to my Imac, I only have 1GB of memory and need 2GB to download Yosemite!

    How do I add more memory to my Imac, I only have 1GB of memory and need 2GB to download Yosemite?

    Janet,
    This is why the question rkaufmann87 asked about your model is so important:
    [click chart to enlarge if needed]
    The list covers the early iMacs with Intel processors that shipped with either OS 10.4 or 10.5 and have only two RAM slots. As you can see, some have limits to what version of OSX you can install. If the step rkaufmann requests does not narrow down your model, you can do one more thing.
    While the "About this Mac" window is open, click the "More Info..." button at the bottom of that window to get this (assuming you are really running OS 10.5.8 as shown in your profile):
    The code I've indicated with the red arrow corresponds to the codes in the second column on the chart. Post the code your computer reports--again don't post a serial number.
    If your iMac shipped with only 1GB RAM, I fear it is one of the earliest models that cannot be upgraded all the way to Yosemite.

  • How do i add a second display desktop to my macbok

    How do I add a second display (desktop) to my macbook pro so when I swipe, there are three screen options, the one for widgets, the main one and then another desktop?

    Here are the specs for your Compaq Presario CQ5300F Desktop Computer. According to the specs, this model supports one VGA output via nVidia GeForce 6150SE onboard integrated graphics. This model also has a PCIe x16 graphics card expansion slot which will accept a PCIe x16 graphics card. According to the specs, installing a discrete graphics card in the PCIe x16 slot will disable the onboard integrated graphics.
    The graphics card you purchase must support both monitors you wish to use with your computer. Additionally, most retail graphics cards require a 300 watt or greater system power supply. Currently , your computer has a 250 watt power supply and it will need to be replaced. Please consider the Corsair CX430, CX500, or CX600 series of power supplies to meet the new graphics card power requirements.
    Alternatively, if this is mostly for word docs, spreadsheets, day trading and light video, you may wish to consider a USB-to-video adapter such as the eVGA UV Plus+ UV39 or one of the many other adapters on the market.
    If you have any further questions, please don't hesitate to ask.

  • Can you add ram to a Macbook5,2

    Can I add ram to this macbook to be able to make it more compatible and be able to open applications that I can't without upgrading my software?
    Is It worth it? How much Ram would I have to add for Lion software? Is that possible?
    I am not in the position for a new computer and this one is good, it is just frustrating that some application that friends send to me do not open.
    Thanks for you help and support.

    The Model 5,2 (Early 2009, 2.0GHz Model Only) can use 6gb of 667mhz PC2-5300 RAM. The model 5,2 (Mid 2009, 2.13GHz Model Only) can use 6gb of 800mhz PC2-6400 RAM
