How to Install RAM on Your Computer

Installing Random Access Memory (RAM) in your computer is a fairly simple upgrade that provides immediate benefits in terms of system speed and response, and adding enough RAM can even allow you to run new apps and games that require more memory than you have right now.

This is an upgrade that just about anyone can carry out successfully, but it's important to buy the right components and follow the correct installation procedure to avoid damaging anything. If you're ready to take that on, here's how to install RAM on your computer.

How Much RAM Do You Need?


Just like with a CPU and hard drive, the amount of memory you need for your computer depends entirely on what you use, or plan to use, your computer for.

For example, if you're buying a computer for heavy gaming, then you'll want enough RAM to support smooth gameplay. Having just 2 GB of RAM available for a game that recommends at least 4 GB is going to result in very slow performance if not total inability to play your games (especially if the recommendation is 8 GB or more).

On the other end of the spectrum, if you use your computer for light internet browsing and no video streaming, games, memory-intensive applications, etc., you could easily get away with less memory.

The same goes for video editing applications, programs that are heavy on 3D graphics, etc. You can normally find out before you buy a computer just how much RAM a specific program or game requires, often listed in a "system requirements" area of the website or product box.

It would be hard to find a new desktop, laptop, or even tablet that comes with less than 2 to 4 GB of RAM pre-installed. Unless you have a specific purpose for your computer apart from regular video streaming, internet browsing, and normal application use, you probably don't need to buy a computer that has any more RAM than that.

our Computer Needs RAM to Use Data Quickly


Put simply, the purpose of RAM is to provide quick read and write access to a storage device. Your computer uses RAM to load data because it's much quicker than running that same data directly off of a hard drive.

Think of RAM like an office desk. A desk is used for quick access to important documents, writing tools, and other items that you need right now. Without a desk, you'd keep everything stored in drawers and filing cabinets, meaning it would take much longer to do your everyday tasks since you would have to constantly reach into these storage compartments to get what you need, and then spend additional time putting them away.

Similarly, all the data you're actively using on your computer (or smartphone, tablet, etc.) is temporarily stored in RAM. This type of memory, like a desk in the analogy, provides much faster read/write times than using a hard drive. Most hard drives are considerably slower than RAM due to physical limitations like rotation speed.

RAM Works With Your Hard Drive (But They're Different Things)

RAM is typically referred to simply as "memory" even though other types of memory may exist inside a computer. RAM, which is the focus of this article, has nothing at all to do with the amount of file storage a hard drive has, even though the two are often incorrectly interchanged with each other in conversation. For example, 1 GB of memory (RAM) isn't the same thing as 1 GB of hard drive space.

Unlike a hard drive, which can be powered down and then back on without losing its data, the contents of RAM are always erased when the computer shuts down. This is why none of your programs or files are still open when you turn your computer back on.

Each motherboard supports only a certain range of memory types in certain combinations, so always check with your motherboard manufacturer before making a purchase.

How to Tell if You Can Install New RAM
Whether you have an off the shelf desktop PC, a custom-built desktop rig, or a laptop, your computer already has RAM in it. In some cases, that existing memory may take up all of the available RAM slots, in which case you can't simply install new RAM, you will have to replace the RAM in your computer with modules that contain more memory.

The easiest way to tell if you can install new RAM is to simply look. Open up the case, look for the RAM slots that are typically located adjacent to the central processing unit (CPU), and check to see if there are open slots. If you see open slots, you can add more RAM.

If you have an off the shelf desktop PC or laptop, you can also find out how much RAM it can accept, and the type and configuration of the existing RAM modules, by checking with the manufacturer.


What Kind of RAM Do You Need?

When installing new RAM, it's important to make sure that you buy RAM modules that are compatible with your computer. If you have a custom rig, you can check with your motherboard manufacturer to learn what type of RAM you need, while owners of off the shelf PCs and laptops can check with the manufacturer of their computer.

The other way to figure out what type of RAM you need is to use a tool like the Crucial System Advisor. This tool allows you to input the make and model of your motherboard or computer to learn what type of RAM you need, the type of storage that's supported, and even your chipset.

For example, the tool outputs the following information for a MSI H270 PC Mate motherboard:


From that information, you can tell the MSI H270 PC Mate requires 288-pin DDR4 modules, that it has four RAM slots, and that it can accept up to 64GB of memory. You can take that information to any PC parts retailer, online or brick and mortar, and be sure that you're buying the right RAM modules.



How to Install RAM on Your Computer

Once you've verified that your computer can accept new RAM, and you've purchased the correct chips, you're ready to install them. The specific steps will vary slightly depending on how your computer is set up, but the general process is very similar across the board.


  • Shut your computer down.
  • Turn the computer off, if it has a physical power switch.
  • Unplug your computer from power.
  • If possible, unplug all of the components, wires, and cables from your computer so that you can move the computer to a clean, sturdy work surface.
  • Open the computer case. Most tower and mid-tower cases have side panels that are held in place by screws or latches, but some cases require you to remove additional screws or activate a latch to slide the entire cowling off the case as a single part.
  • With the case open, examine the motherboard to locate the existing RAM. You will install your new RAM alongside the existing modules.
  • Prior to handling your new RAM modules, ground yourself with an anti-static wrist strap.
  • Examine your new RAM modules, paying special attention to the side with the visible gold contacts. That's the edge that you will need to seat into the sockets on the motherboard. The edge with the contacts will typically be keyed with a notch that matches a notch in the socket. This makes it so that you can't install the RAM backward, and it also shows you which way to install it.




  • If the RAM sockets on your motherboard have latched on the ends, gently pull them back to allow the insertion of your modules.
  • Line up the notch on your new RAM module with the notch in the socket, and carefully set the module in place. If latches are present, they will automatically close as you push the module in.
  • Apply even force to the edge of the RAM module to gently click it into place. Be careful not to bend it back and forth, and don't force it. If it doesn't go in easily, pull it out and make sure you've lined up the notches correctly.
  • Verify that the RAM modules are seated properly, and close the computer back up. While you're closing the computer up, make sure that you didn't accidentally unplug anything while you were installing the RAM.
  • Hook your computer back up, turn it on, and verify that it can read the new memory.

Troubleshooting RAM Issues

The first thing you should do if you suspect an issue with one or more RAM sticks is to reseat the memory modules. If one of the RAM sticks hasn't been securely inserted into its slot on the motherboard, it's possible that even a small bump could knock it out of place and cause memory problems that you didn't have before.

If reseating the memory doesn't improve the symptoms, we recommend using one of these free memory test programs. Since they work from outside the operating system, they work with any kind of PC — Windows, Mac, Linux, etc.

Your best option is to replace the memory in your computer if one of these tools identifies a problem, no matter how small.

Advanced Information on RAM

Though RAM is explained as a volatile memory in the context of this website (with regard to internal computer memory), RAM also exists in a non-volatile, non-alterable form called read-only memory (ROM). Flash drives and solid-state drives, for example, are variants of ROM that retain their data even without power but can be altered.

There are many types of RAM, but the two main types are static RAM (SRAM) and dynamic RAM (DRAM). Both types are volatile. SRAM is faster but more expensive to produce than DRAM, which is why DRAM is more prevalent in today's devices. However, SRAM is sometimes seen in small doses in various internal computer parts, like with the CPU and as hard drive cache memory.

Some software, like SoftPerfect RAM Disk, can create what's called a RAM disk, which is essentially a hard drive that exists inside RAM. Data can be saved to, and opened from, this new disk as if it were any other, but read/write times are much quicker than using a regular hard disk because RAM is much faster.

Some operating systems can utilize what's called virtual memory, which is the opposite of a RAM disk. This is a feature that sets aside hard disk space for use as RAM. While doing so can increase the overall available memory for applications and other uses, it may negatively affect system performance due to the fact that hard drives are slower than RAM sticks.
