You can try going to Crucial.com and get their analysis software which will
look at your system and perhaps have memory for sale. A computer
semi-illiterate friend just took his locally made pc to Staples and they did
the memory upgrade for cheep. I upgraded my older GW and there are large
screws in the back that could be unscrewed by hand. I bought memory at Best
Buys.
