Installing memory on today’s laptop system is just as easy as installing memory on a desktop PC. The first step is to make sure you buy the correct type of memory for the laptop, check the laptop documentation before heading to the store!

Small Outline Dual Inline Memory Modules (SODIMMs) are memory modules that are smaller than normal DIMMs and are used in laptops. It comes in three different size: a 32-bit 72 pin module; a 64-bit 144 pin module; a 64-bit 200 pin module.

To install your newly purchased memory, flip the laptop over. You’ll notice a door on the bottom of the laptop that can be removed. This is where you add memory.

After the cover has been removed, you can insert the SODIMM into an empty slot by lightly placing the SODIMM into the memory slot on a slight angle and then clamping it back into place. If you are replacing memory, you will need to first remove the old memory module by pressing on the clips on the side and then lifting the memory out.

When you have the SODIMM locked in place, put the cover back on and you’re ready to use your laptop with the new memory!

The speed of the memory such as DIMM and SODIMM, is measured in MHz. If you are buying DDR or DDR2 memory, make sure you verify that you get the correct memory speed. The system documentation can help you determine the speed of memory needed. If you don’t have the documentation, be sure to look up the information on the manufacturer’s Web site.

Three reasons making the computer or the laptop runs slow:
1-   Hard drive issue: the hard drive is full or more than 80% full, this issue could slow down the computer, the hard drive seeking time to find the information on the hard drive with 50% capacity or less is faster than 80% Capacity.
2-    Memory issue: one of the most important part to make the computer fast and smooth is to increase the memory. When you have many programs run in the background like the Anti Virus, Weather, Printer, Messenger…etc, these programs consume the memory. I suggest 1 GB Ram for Windows XP and 2 GB for Windows Vista. If you add more, that will help your PC to run faster.
3-   Virus and Spyware: Viruses and Spyware one of the main reasons to slow down the Computer. When you turn on the computer, the viruses and Spyware run in the startup mode or in the background, it infects Windows files, registry values and internet connection.
