Here’s a quick guide for novice computer users wishing to upgrade their Gateway computer memory.

1. Determine if you’ll be upgrading desktop or notebook Gateway computer memory. That’s right, they’re of different form factors, or in other words, different physical sizes.
2. Determine the speed of memory that you’ll need. You can’t just buy the latest and fastest memory modules and expect to slot them in and benefit from the upgrade, because if your motherboard is of an older type it won’t be compatible, or at best the new memory modules will run at a slower speed.
3. Choose your module. This is determined by how many free slots you have, how much total memory you want and whether you want to use your existing modules or not.

If all of this sounds like too much trouble, then why not visit 4allmemory.com and run our computer memory check. It’s a completely free service, and in less than 20 seconds all of your upgrade options will be listed.
