- 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.
