Computer Memory Upgrade

Executive summary By : Matthew Richard Kerridge

The time has finally come and you have decided to get a memory upgrade for your computer. A computer memory upgrade is very easy for everyone. The first step in a memory upgrade is to determine what memory you have on your computer and what memory you are going to purchase. The first way to determine what type of memory you have in your computer is to ask the computer itself. It will scan your system and tell you what memory you have and exactly what memory to order.

The third way to determine what type of memory upgrades you need is to turn off the computer, unplug everything, open the tower and actually look at the memory module. If you do this you will see that the memory modules have one or two memory sticks in them. You just have to wait for the new memory to arrive. Push the bar gently away from the memory stick. Take the new memory sticks and put them into the slots where you just removed the old memory. Push the bars back into position, locking the memory into location. Close the tower, plug the computer in and reboot your system.

Executive summary By: Mac Jones

Perhaps the most persistent rumour was that of a PlayStation 3 price cut and a new PSP handheld gaming device. Sony unveiled a new PSP handheld console called the PSP Go. This new sliding screen allows the device to be a claimed 50% smaller and around 40% lighter than the original PSP. Built in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth communication technologies also feature. The second big announcement from Sony was a motion controller for the PS3 games console. The control system works in conjunction with the PlayStation Eye motion-sensing webcam which tracks the motion of the player around the room. Other news surrounded new and upcoming games. Some notable highlights were a live demo run of Uncharted 2, a live demo of the war game M.A.G showing a staggering 256 live network players playing in real time through the internet. A new game from the Metal Gear Solid stable called Peace Walker was also announced, along with a little trailer to accompany it.
