HP Compaq dx2000MT RAM Replacement

소개

RAM, or random access memory, is short-term storage for your Compaq dx2000MT. RAM is used by your processor for immediate use as-needed, unlike long-term files written to a hard disk drive. If your computer has slowed considerably or you’re looking for a boost, replacing/upgrading the RAM is a fairly simple and inexpensive first step. The Compaq dx2000MT laptop comes standard with 4GB of RAM and can be upgraded to a maximum of 8GB with its two (DDRSD) slots.
