Introduction

Of course, you will need a new RAM card to expand your computer’s memory. In this case, we’re using a DDR3 4GB RAM card, the preferred model for this particular laptop, a Samsung 14’’ Essential Notebook (NP300E4Z). Always use the correct RAM model for your computer. If you have any doubts, check your manufacturer’s website and check which RAM your computer supports.

Before beginning, unplug your laptop and remove the battery as a precaution.

Step 3

• Make sure that your laptop has at least one memory slot available. In this case, the available slot is the top one. This is the slot in which we will insert our new memory.
• RAM cards for laptops are different than RAM cards for PC. They are smaller, and not all of them will work for your laptop. For example, DDR4 RAMs won’t work if your laptop supports DDR3 components. In this case, we’re using a DDR3 4GB RAM card.

• Go to “System> About,” and look for the “Device Specifications” section.
• In the “Installed RAM” section, make sure it displays the correct amount of RAM.
• In this case, we originally had 4GB RAM on our computer. By adding a new 4GB RAM card, we now have 8GB installed, improving the performance of our computer.
