There are 2 basically different types of computer memory.  One type is known as RAM which stands for Random Access Memory.  RAM is "volatile" meaning that the information in RAM disappears when you shut down your computer.  RAM is on a little computer "chip".  Current versions of Microsoft Windows can access and make use of up to 4 gigabytes (gig).  Buying and installing more than 4 gig is a waste; your system cannot use it AND it may pose problems with the system managing the memory for you.

The 2nd type of memory is a "reserved" area on your hard drive.  This is usually referred to as a "page file".  The more RAM you have the less your system will be reading and writing to your hard drive.  Your computer will run faster with more RAM and it will also save wear and tear on your hard drive by reducing the necessary reading and writing.  More RAM, up to 4 Gig, will help your hard drive last longer.

More is coming soon...you are keeping me very busy!
