i got my RAM upgrade from Crucial.com. they are a good brand when it comes to computer upgrades. Just put in your computer type, and they'll give you recommended upgrades when it comes to hard drives or RAM cards.

FYI, if you're not maxing out and capping your current 4gb kit, you're not going to see a performance improvement by upgrading.

it doesn't seem like he's trying to upgrade the processor, just the RAM. and that is quite a simple process. (I got to school for computer engineering)

More speed would involve a new processor which as stated before, is near impossible.
