real simple for the most part. Find out what type of memory you have and how many DIMM slots you are using. Most are two and four, but there are some three slots out there. Most new memory, except RDRAM, will allow you to add in single sticks. There can be some issues with mixing and matching different types, but with RAM so cheap now, it might be better to remove what you have and add brand new RAM. Do you know how much you have and what type?

Head over to crucial.com
Provide them with the model and they'll tell you what type of memory you can buy, plus they're fairly cheap.
Installation instructions included...

Ordered my memory from Crucial yesterday, received it this morning, and installed it. Thanks for the help.

Another problem.
The last week my computer has been shutting itself down, usually when it has been idle for awhile. A screen appears and tells me to check all newly added software and hardware. The next screen tells me to insert system disk and press enter. I did not get a system disk when I bought this thing. HP is sending me one, but it will take a week.If I wait about an hour, then it will come up, and I have no problems when I am using it.
The only software change was an upgrade of AOL, But I have removed AOL completely. Can the stick of memory I added cause this. Any Ideas?
