Upgrading Memory (RAM)

Earlier this year. The time came: it was time to add another RAM into my old and slow PC Desktop! AHHH. And to make matters worse…my dad was not even there to help me >.< So with my A+ skills and my great research skills, me and my dad were able to speed up our PC when he was back in February. So for future references, here are my research based on my HP Pavilion 735n desktop^^: Upgrading RAM: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=bph03886&lc=en&dlc=en&cc=ca&lang=en&rule=5759&product=308352
