Upgrade instead of replacing
Adding memory is often the cheapest way to speed up an older computer, especially together with an SSD. If your machine is too old to upgrade, a refurbished laptop or desktop may be better value. See all computer parts.
Memory (RAM): frequently asked questions
How do I know which RAM my computer needs?
It depends on the generation of your computer. Most PCs from about 2011 to 2015 use DDR3, and most from 2016 onwards use DDR4. Laptops use smaller SO-DIMM modules and desktops use full-size DIMMs. Send us your model and we will confirm.
How much RAM do I need?
8GB is enough for Office, browsing and email. 16GB helps with heavy multitasking, large spreadsheets and design software.
Can you install the memory for me?
If you are buying a refurbished laptop or desktop from us, we can fit extra memory before it ships. Ask when you order.
