These innovative formulations integrate cutting-edge ingredients, delivery systems, and scientific research to enhance skin health. Here are ten noteworthy skin technology formulas that have gained prominence in the skincare industry: 1. Retinoids (Retinol, Retinaldehyde): Retinoids are derivatives of vitamin A known for their notable ability to improve skin texture, reduce fine lines, and enhance collagen production. Advanced retinoid formulations, like encapsulated retinol or retinaldehyde, offer improved stability and reduced irritation compared to traditional retinoids. 2. Peptides: Peptides are small chains of amino acids that help stimulate collagen production, thereby improving skin firmness and elasticity. Advanced peptide formulations target specific skin concerns, such as wrinkles, pigmentation, and hydration, providing more...
Taking a look at your computer, a friend told you that you could probably make better use of it by increasing the amount of RAM installed inside it. You would like to follow his advice, however, not being particularly knowledgeable in the technological field, you don't have the faintest idea how to do this, do you? If that's the case, fear not: I'm here, ready to tell you how to increase PC RAM .
RAM memory is one of the most important components to
determine the performance of a computer: the more there is available, the more
the number of applications that can be used simultaneously increases without
the system experiencing particularly evident slowdowns. Furthermore, the
availability of a good amount of RAM is of fundamental importance when very
"heavy" software are used, such as those for photo editing or audio /
video editing, or games (in which, however, the card is even more important
video ).
Having said that, if it is your intention to find out how to
increase the RAM of your computer, I suggest you take a few minutes of free
time and read the following lines carefully, so that you can find out
everything that needs to be done to succeed in the goal that you you are fixed.
I wish you happy reading and I wish you good luck for everything!

Preliminary information
Before going into the heart of the tutorial and seeing in
detail how to increase PC RAM , it seems only right to provide you with some
preliminary information that will be useful for you to proceed without any
difficulty.
First of all, I want to tell you that, to carry out the
operation in question, you don't need to have who knows what computer and / or
technical skills: you simply need to know how to identify the type of RAM to
buy and then install it correctly in the PC in your possession.
Be aware, however, that RAM swapping cannot be done on all
computers: on some laptops that have RAM soldered to the motherboard, such as
most recently made MacBooks, this is impossible. Clear? Well then let's take action!
Identify the type of RAM to buy
The first step you have to take is to identify the type of
memory to buy : let me explain how to do this with the help of some utilities
suitable for the purpose.
On Windows , you can use the free CPU-Z program , which
allows you to identify various characteristics of the hardware components on
your PC. As for the RAM, it offers the possibility to see the characteristics
of the one already installed and also allows you to know how many slots are
available on the motherboard.
To download CPU-Z , go to the official website of the
program and click first on the ZIP - English button (located on the left) and
then on Download now! . Once the
download is complete, extract the contents of the ZIP archive you obtained into
any folder and start the cpuz_x32.exe or cpuz_x64.exe program , depending on
the version of Windows in use. Then grant the software the necessary
permissions to work properly by clicking on the Yes button .
In the main window of CPU-Z, select the Memory tab at the top, in order to view all the
information concerning the RAM: the items you need to pay particular attention
to are Type , which indicates the type
of RAM installed (eg DDR2 ), and Size
which, on the other hand, indicates the amount of memory currently
installed.
Also, pay attention to the value of the frequency band (
DRAM Frequency ), which will be halved compared to the commercial value
indicated by the manufacturer of the RAM. To give you an example, if a
frequency of 166 Mhz is indicated for your computer's RAM , it is actually 332
MHz , which means that you will have to buy modules that have this latter
frequency.
During the purchase phase, in addition to the type of RAM
and the frequency (which must be the same as the memory already installed on
the computer), it also checks the compatibility with the access time values (
CAS ), which are shown in the Timings table always present in the Memory tab .
Once you have checked these values, if they match the RAM you intend to buy,
you can rest easy about its compatibility with your PC.
If you have a Mac to which it is possible to change the RAM,
you can check the above values in a rather simple way. Open the Apple menu by
clicking on the bitten apple icon at the top left, select the About this Mac
item and then click on the Memory tab .
Don't see the "Memory" tab? If it is not present
in the window that summarizes the characteristics of your Mac, obviously on the
model in your possession it is not possible to change the RAM. I am sorry.
Which RAM to buy
Having taken note of the data in question, you can finally
proceed with the purchase of the memory . The RAM to be purchased must have the
same characteristics as the one already present in your computer and which you
have just taken note of.
To buy RAM, you can refer to the electronics stores in your
area, or you can go to the main online stores, such as Amazon
and eBay . Also know that RAM is sold at fairly low prices and that you
will hardly go to spend more than 50-60 euros (this obviously depends on the
characteristics of each memory bank you buy).
If you want some specific advice regarding the purchase to
be made, I suggest you read the guide in which I explain in detail which RAM to buy . I'm sure this reading will
help you make wise purchases.
How to increase fixed PC RAM
If you have a desktop PC and want to increase the amount of
RAM available, I have good, indeed, excellent news to give you: adding or
replacing memory banks on this type of computer is very easy.
Once you have purchased the most suitable RAM for your
computer, you can proceed with the installation in a very simple way. To do
this, in fact, simply turn off the computer , remove the power cable , unscrew
all the screws on the sides of the PC case and open the latter by removing the
side panels .
At this point, try to identify the bank of RAM already
present in the machine and check if there are any free slots next to it: if
they are present, proceed by placing the new RAM banks just purchased in the
latter . Be careful to perfectly match the new RAM banks with the contacts and
with the white tabs on the sides. To do this, just apply a little pressure . If
you hear a "click", it means that the RAM has been inserted
correctly.
If, on the other hand, there are no free slots or in any
case if you need to replace the RAM bank already in use on the PC with the one
you just purchased , all you have to do is remove the first by gently widening
the white tabs on the sides and then proceed to insert the new memory , as seen
before.
Once all the procedure is complete, close the computer case
by putting all the screws back in place, then connect the computer power cable
and turn it on.
To test the success of the operation and, therefore, to
verify that you have actually managed to increase RAM to the PC, access the
Windows Explorer / File Explorer, right-click on the Computer / This PC
link and select the item Properties from
the menu that appears. In the window that opens you will be shown all the
information on the PC in use, including the amount of RAM recognized by the
system in the System section .
On Mac, you can act through the About This Mac panel , as I
explained to you in the previous steps of the guide.
How to increase laptop RAM
If you intend to increase the RAM of a portable PC , know
that this is a slightly more delicate operation than that described in the
previous lines for fixed computers, because in most cases it involves the
removal of various hardware components.
Basically, the procedure by which to increase PC RAM for
notebooks and laptops is the same as for desktop computers. The only difference
and real difficulty lies in the fact that each laptop must be disassembled in a
different way and it is therefore necessary to try to understand how to access
the compartment through which to insert the new RAM banks.
To find out how to disassemble your laptop, I therefore
suggest you find the user manual of the same, which should contain all the
necessary information to understand which steps to take to increase the RAM of the
PC. You can get a general idea of the operations to be carried out, also
reading the guide I dedicated to the topic .
If you do not have the paper user manual of your laptop
available, you can search for it on Google by trying to type "user manual
[laptop model]" , taking care to substitute the model of the notebook or
laptop in your possession for "portable model" .
