Increasing memory capacity is an effective way to make programs run faster. You can increase memory
capacity by replacing or adding a memory module.
Note: The operating speed of the memory module has dependency on the system configuration. In some
conditions, the memory module in your computer might not be able to operate at the maximum speed.
