  1. Interesting blog post. A few things i would like to add is that laptop memory should be purchased in case your computer still can’t cope with anything you do along with it. One can deploy two RAM boards having 1GB each, for instance, but not one of 1GB and one of 2GB. One should always check the maker’s documentation for the PC to make sure what type of memory space it can take.
