[SOLVED] How do you download more RAM and CPU?

[Marcus12093]

My computer is so slow, and I asked microsoft support and they asked for my ram, and they told me where to find it, and it said 4GB. And the lady said that it was the bare minimum for windows. Any website to download RAM?

Cringe, cause I looked online and you can't download RAM. I guess I'll have to deal with this slow PC smh

Just to put an end to this...
You cannot "download RAM".

It is a physical object.
You pay money to a retailer, they send you the physical RAM sticks.
If you've done a teeny bit of homework, these will be compatible with your system.

You cannot 'download RAM'.
This is like downloading a pair of Air Jordans. Doesn't work like that.

Any questions?

Dare I ask...what are the specs of your system?

This is all that came from Task Manager

well glad you figured it out. just never actually seen this question and could not resist the link

with the pc model or motherboard model we can point you to some ram that will work for you. you can post the full pc model if you have a pre-built or you can post your motherboard model and we can look up what it can hold and point you in the right direction.

F0AW0035US P9002GH5, that's what it says on the back of the PC.

 

[Math Geek]

that can hold up to 16gb ddr3 ram. not sure of max speed as still looking for that spec but should be pretty cheap.

ok so it takes ddr3L-1600 ram. so the max would be a set of 2 x 8gb.

here is what newegg offers in 2 x 8gb kits.

https://www.newegg.com/p/pl?N=100007609 601190332 601342186&Order=1

not bad starting at $45.

Thank you so much! Do you have any info on CPU?

If you're looking at changing the CPU as well, that is pointing to a whole new system.

 

[Math Geek]

that's what i was thinking. with such an old pentium, i doubt you will be able to change it to anything worth spending the money on.

i'd look into a new system that is a bit newer if you need a faster cpu. nothing you can drop into that system will make much of a difference.

 

[TerryLaze]

Check your OS first, if you are running an 32bit version you are actually only using 3 out of the 4gb and you can't use more.
If task manager shows you 4Gb it should be ok to use more.
If you got the 4Gb number from something that just looks at hardware you will have to double check.

Edit: nevermind just saw your task manager output.

Adding RAM isn't going to be particularly helpful, because your CPU is certainly not strong enough to translate the addition of more RAM into something meaningful in terms of any kind of performance increase.

Upgrading the CPU on that old of a platform, not to mention the fact that it's an all in one type system, is usually a NO-GO as the baseboards in them are generally not broadly capable of that sort of upgrade. Many of them are in fact not even given the ability to be upgraded due to very limited BIOSes, and many have soldered in place CPUs anyhow. Those systems are not intended to ever really be upgraded. They are for people who simply want to be able to run light office or productivity applications or browse the web. They aren't meant for gaming or running heavy applications.

If that system is not capable of doing what you need it to do, then it's time to look at a newer prebuilt device of some kind or a custom desktop system.

I think you have a lenovo all in one.
I do not know if it can be updated or not.
Try this crucial ram upgrade app which should check your pc and offer options:
