Random Access Memory. When you use a program, it is run in your computers memory. The more memory, the faster your computer works and the more programs you can run without slowing it down.

You buy RAM cards and install them inside your laptop.

WR, just go buy a new computer! Problem solved


PS
You'll have to buy a new one anyone once you DIY

I'm calling your husband to warn him. I'm afraid you'll electrocute him when he turns it on the first time afterwards

Any electronics place... Best Buy, hh gregg, newegg.com, tigerdirect.com etc.

Go here---> Use the Crucial System Scanner software to find out what type of memory is in your computer

This will do everything except install it.

How to Install Memory (RAM) in a Laptop / Notebook - YouTube


For what looks like a Dell D630. Youtube search "install RAM in" and add your laptops model number in there, and you should be fine.
