Hb_Kai Posted January 9, 2009 Report Share Posted January 9, 2009 Rong, you stole my idea. :PRAM can be quite cheap, depending on where you go. Buying RAM off trusted internet sites or companies that specialise in selling RAM is probably a better option of alll though. I've seen 1GB RAM cards being sold for £10 before off websites, but that was a Christmas offer, and I doubt you'll find them anywhere anymore for another 11 months or so.

Amy Posted January 9, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2009 Yes Comodo is very good.As I do not know what country you are from, put Crucial RAM scanner into Google and use the system scan button to see what RAM is compatable with your Dell, it will then take you to a page with all the different ones and there prices.system scan button??

Hb_Kai Posted January 9, 2009 Report Share Posted January 9, 2009 Have you installed it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amy Posted January 9, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2009 oh ok i have to install the ram thing ok will do lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hb_Kai Posted January 9, 2009 Report Share Posted January 9, 2009 I think so, I've only used it once. But if it downloads an install.exe, then yes, do install it. After it has been installed, run the scanner and await for its heroic return. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hb_Kai Posted January 9, 2009 Report Share Posted January 9, 2009 OK. Another thing you said in the first page I think. Disk Cleanup usually goes slow if it has a lot of files and stuff to go through. When I had a computer which was absolutely packed with stuff it took like the best part of an hour to even give me the options to clean the disc. (temp files, etc..)
