need ram advice

i need more ram and i hav 2 spare ram slots on my motherboard. i was wondering if i just put the new ram in one of the slots and the comp will do the rest. i also wanted to now if i should get the same brand of ram as my other one. and if this
"RAM 256MB SD

256MB PC133 Hyundai Chipset, Non ECC, $89 Electronic Product Warehouse," is alright (its $89 australian).

tnx for any help.

 

Yes, once you add the new RAM and turn on the computer it should recognise it. As for getting the same brand, if you're happy with it then do it.

 

thanks for ur help LadyLisa.

 

You're welcome and be careful putting it in, if you push too hard you could damage it.

 

Wow $89.00 for 256 sdram module, kind of high. Check out www.tigerdirect.com or www.pricewatch.com, I beleive the price for that module is around $34.00 there.

 

He said $89 Australian, which would be around $45US

 

and our ram is soooo cheap here.........256meg strip is around £45
thats $90 australian and about $70 US.............this is rip-off britain for ya.

you ever go to any of those computer shows they have in Trafford Park? You can get it a lot cheaper at a place like that.

im just having a ***** fit.........maybe theres someone looking in and is thinking "he`s right,lets bring the prices down"
slap me,i need to wake up

 

and ............just so`s you know......the ***** spelled b i t c h

$teve, I wasn't thinking anything of the sort.......... LOL

And cheaper prices is always nice
