I am currently using a dell desktop and it's memory is i guess 256 mb (not quite sure because I am not that knowledgeable when it comes to computers, seriously!.I just realize that it is processing so slow, and my brother said that it could be because our computer has low memory. I don't know much about this and that is why i need some advice on how to upgrade a computer's memory. Help! anyone please :)

before you go to get that memory upgrade , be sure to gather information about your computer to ensure you get the right memory for your system. You need to know what type of memory the computer uses, the memory module sizes and what already exists in the system.
In general it is best to try and buy as few modules as possible for the amount of memory that you wish to install. This will increase the potential for future upgrades on the system. Thus, if you have 3 memory slots, one of which has a 1GB module in it,it would be better to buy another 1GB module to get to 2GB of total memory than to purchase two 512MB modules.
