When installing or handling computer memory, you need to be careful of a handful of things. Most importantly you should prepare against Electro-Static Discharge or ESD. It is extremely important to keep yourself properly grounded when working with computer memory. You can ground yourself with an Anti-Static Wrist Strap. Or you can discharge any built up static electricity in your body by touching the metal frame, or chasis, of the inside of your computer.

When installing or handling computer memory, in addition to keeping yourself grounded, you should try to handle the memory by only touching the edges of the memory module. Also, try to keep your fingers off the pins. The oil from your fingers can possible fry a pin when when the computer is booted up with the module installed.

One last tip, if you’re installing memory in a desktop, make sure the computer is powered off, but leave the power cord connected. This will help keep the entire computer grounded while you are installing the memory.

If ESD causes any damage to your memory, the effects may be immediate and the computer won’t work with the ESD damaged memory module installed, or a problem could arise at a later date, making it difficult to diagnose the source. These tips can help prevent major problems down the road.

It’s been a while since I’ve posted, and while I was running some reports this morning on search and search results with our www.upgradecomputermemory.com online store, I noticed some interesting things. This post will help you better use our internal search function to find the correct memory for your computer.

Firstly, only about 5.6% of our visitors are making use of the search function. For those of you that are using it, thank you. For those of you who haven’t, it’s located on every page of our site on the right-hand side of our header .

Second, on search terms, it’s helpful to be more specific (but not too specific). For example, a search for “presario” will return far too many results. And conversely, a search for “memory for compaq presario SR1020NX” will not return any results. The most accurate search results will be returned if you search “compaq presario SR1020NX” This search will return only one result, which will be the page that has the compatible computer memory upgrades for the Presario SR1020NX!

Sometimes people have difficulties with their model #’s. It’s often difficult to determine what your computer’s model # is. Sometimes your model # is printed on the front of your computer case, or on the keyboard on a notebook. On some computer’s, you will find your model # on a sticker on the back of a computer case, or the bottom of a laptop. And in some instances, it iss virtually impossible to find your model #. In these instances, you may have to look up your computer’s documentation or owner’s manual.

“Owner’s Manual? Hmmm, i think I tossed that years ago. . .”

Ok, so you don’t have your owner’s manual, don’t worry. We still have options. Many computer manufacturers have an Auto-Detect feature on their support sites. All you have to do is visit your computer manufacturer’s website (from the computer in question) and click the auto-detect button.

A note on Dell and Gateway computers: It is easy to determinie your model # from these support pages. For Gateway, there is a serial # printed on a sticker on the back/bottom of your computer. You can key this serial # into Gateways Serial # Search box on their support page. This will pull up specific information about your Gateway, including your model #. Dell is exactly the same, except they call their serial # a Service Tag.

As a last resort, you can always take a physical look at your memory. If you are not sure how to do this, or have found your computer memory and you don’t know what you’re looking at, give us a ring, we’ll help you out 1-888-277-5227.

Once you’ve found your model #, go back to our website and key in your model # into our search box. This should be enough to get you pointed in the right direction. For better results, please use your model # with you computer’s model name and manufacturer. Example: Dell Dimension 2400.

These tips will help you more effectively use our search function and help you find the correct memory for your computer. And as always, if you have trouble, give us a call!
