When spinning hourglasses and unresponsive apps cripple your computer (and your productivity), your hands spend more time covering your face in frustration than using your keyboard or mouse. Stop waiting! In a matter of minutes, you can make a slow computer fast by simply installing more memory.

Invest a few minutes now and reap the long-term performance reward.
