New Compaq computers come with ample memory installed, and the likelihood you'll need an upgrade any time soon is slim. Most desktop come with no less than 512 MB RAM installed, and that is plenty of memory for the casual user. People who use their computers for their livelihood, like programmers and graphic designers might want more power. This helps to handle the increased demands that multimedia places on your system.

A memory upgrade to 1 GB is usually enough to handle any user's needs, although there are 2 GB upgrades available. A 1 GB upgrade for your Presario currently costs about $200 from a number of online retailers, although you can find these cards cheaper when you shop around. You can also buy two 512 MB cards if your motherboard has space, and this can sometimes save you as much as $50 over buying one whole card. This is also good in case one card should fail. You've only got to replace half of your investment.

Installing new system memory is very easy, especially when it is for a desktop. Laptop computers require a bit more work because of the confined space you have to work in. Installing the card into your system is as easy as finding the empty port and gently but firmly inserting the card. There is no further work necessary as the system will automatically detect and implement the new RAM. If you are uncomfortable doing the upgrade yourself you can always have a technician do the work for you.
