If you’re unsure of what type of memory you need, you can either call our sales team at 800-662-7466 for extensive help or follow some of these simple guidelines if you know the type and speed of the memory your computer requires.

If you are running on Windows XP, we would recommend at least 512MB-1GB of memory as a minimum. Generally, the more memory you can get the better.

If you’re running Vista or Windows 7, try to get at least 1GB of memory if you’re a light user and 2GB if you’re a frequent user. Both these systems come with additional services and bigger footprints than normal, so the more you can get the better as the performance is enhanced by miles.

For Apple memory, we would recommend 1GB for basic use, for example if you just use your Mac for word processing, email, etc. 2GB is the suggested if you use your Mac for advanced graphics or games, or if you do a lot of photo editing. Anything more than this, such as multimedia editing or 3D modeling needs at least 4GB of memory, which you can get from us.
