Is there certain brand of RAM to buy for the brand of your computer? I play The Sims 3 and it uses so much RAM that it crashes. I have a widget of 2 gauges: 1 for my CPU and other for RAM (in percentages) on my desktop. My game crashed today and I seen the RAM gauge was at 100%, so I'm thinking I need more RAM. Well, my mom has an old Acer computer, so I was wondering if I can take out the RAM out of that computer and put it in mine (Toshiba Satellite c655) to bump up memory instead of buying RAM.
P.s—I'm a computer noob. I have 100 GB free of 200 GB free space on hard drive, and 1.87 GB usable of 2.00 GB RAM. The Sims 3 uses a lot of memory already, PLUS I have lots of custom content that I want to keep. Thanks!
