- We recommend you visit Crucial or Kingston to purchase your memory.
- You can check what RAM your motherboard takes using Crucial's Memory Advisor.
- For more information on installing memory visit, How To Add Ram FAQ at Cyberwalker.
- Remember that the new drive will be blank - you will need to reinstall your OS and software.
- If you have an enclosure you can image your old drive to the new drive before you swap drives.
- At the very least be sure to backup your important documents prior to swaping drives.
- On a perpendicular drive drive, the bits stand upright, allowing eight times the density of a standard drive.
