Yeah im not the smartest when it comes to computer hardware and stuff, but i was wondering if it liek possible to clear off the memory sticks on your computer? Cause i have just put a comp. together and a used old ones out of a old computer, and the computer is really really slow and locks up sometimes. what can i do?
well RAM stands for Random Access Memory and that's for a reason,ur pc loads any data that it needs while running onto the ram,but when you switch ur pc off,all the data on the ram is deleted until you switch your pc on again...So what is it that you wanna delete? you must remeber,are you using newer hardware,a new operating system,etc...and how much ram do you have,cuz it could just be that you have to little ram for your new pc,having to little would cuase your pc to be slow,but as long as you have around 256mb your pc should work fine,but 512mb is reccomended,expecially if you have xp...
Well, you could always pretend you're an amatuer (I love doing this with other people's hardware) and grip it all over, while wearing socks, and rubbing your feet on freshly vacuumed carpet. It works even better if you do this while it's raining, or just really humid. Obviously, you know that's a joke. You don't need to clear anything, just put them in, and you should be fine, although I personally suggest that you don't mix and match different memory modules at the same time, I suggest instead using one or two modules of the same brand and size, etc. Things are most stable that way. Hopefully, the second part helps, and I'm sure you know not to try the first part. You're a self-taught techy, and that's respectable, that's how I learned at a young age, and now I understand how all this works on a better level than most 'professional' repair people. If you keep at it, you'll probably be the same way.
