aaaagh. Computer woes.
So I got a shiny new printer/scanner/fax machine thinger for christmas. It's gorgeous. And it works just fine on my father's computer.
On mine it doesn't even want to install, because not enough memory. gnrghgn.
So after a hour and a half googling away, I learned:
-by memory they mean RAM and I don't have to trash my videos! great. (... well, it did prompt me to burn to CD and then trash quite a few, which can only be of the good in the end. I think.)
-I could possibly buy a stick-thing (not sure how that translates in english but I get it.) and installing it myself seems quite doable and unless I got it all wrong, it's likely it would help.
-THERE ARE THREE BAZILION KINDS AND IF YOU BUY THE WRONG ONE HAHAHA TOO BAD FOR YOU.
My computer: http://www.spirit-computers.com/fr/pri/?PibItemNr=platform_spirit_178
My question: What do I need to know when I go shopping for one? What do I need to write down on my shiny little list? And how do I find that out? ... Do I have to open my computer to see what's already in it? D: (that's gonna be an adventure seeing how the panel is dinged and it's always super hard to close it again... ~__~ but I can, if I really have to. I'd just like to be sure that i DO really have to. >_>;; I don't want to have to fight it twice.)
Also how much monies am I looking at? I have just about ZERO idea. Ten dollars, a hundred and thirty-seven, what?
