The types of computer memory now available are somewhat mindboggling.Years ago, consumers had very few options but in today’s market, the numbers have increased. Just a few examples of what you will find include HP memory, Kayak Memory, QuickTake memory, Power Desktop memory, CTI memory, 8400 memory, and the list goes on and on. The thing to keep in mind that you need to purchase only memory designed for the type of computer you use. Unfortunately, some companies will advertise “universal” memory, supposedly to work on any system. While the concept is good, major operational problems would develop. Therefore, talk to the manufacturer of your computer to get a list of the acceptable memory options you have.

If you are unsure as to the amount of memory currently on your computer, there is a simple way you can tell. If you use Windows, all you need to do is right click on the My Computer icon. From the drop down list, choose Properties. Within this box you will find all the information needed so you know if more memory is even needed, and if so, how much. Now, if you work off a Macintosh, you would choose the “About this Computer” or “About this Mac” from the main Apple menu. Again, all of the computer’s memory information is there. Finally, we strongly recommend you buy any memory, whether, Jornada memory or Media memory from a reputable source. This will ensure you are purchasing a quality product, one backed by a warranty.
