Blaming “Buggy” Software.

Ever wonder about the rash of all those negative software reviews on this and that “new” software? Reviewers are quick to claim this or that software is “full of bugs”, “doesn’t act right”..”can’t get it to load”…and then they summarize by passing judgment and condemning the software as a “piece of junk”. Sound familiar? Maybe YOU wrote that review? Ever wrote one like it? Ok, then let me ask you this. Have you ever wrote a negative review about “new” software (let’s define “new” software as 3 years old or newer) when your computer had 1 GB or less of memory? If so, is it possible and even probable, that the software isn’t really to blame? Could it be a lack of memory?

Repeat after me: M-E-M-O-R-Y. Guess what? It’s dirt cheap now (Guess what? you can grab it off Ebay at 50% off retail with 3 clicks of a mouse and probably buy enough to MAX your system completely out (4 GB or so) for around a hundred bucks!). So forgo those two pricey dinners, max out your computer with memory and try that culprit software again. Who knows, this time it just might act right.

A tip to save $$$: When you purchase a NEW COMPUTER from a computer company, DO NOT PURCHASE THE upgrade memory from the company at the point of sale because they will STICK it to you pricewise! It’s called “cross-selling” and for many major corporations it’s the last bastion of squeezing every penny they can out of the customer. Don’t fall prey to this tactic! If you have time to do the upgrade yourself, then take a deep breath and elect the lowest memory amount offered by default from the company that comes standard with the Model, keeping in mind that all computers nowadays should be upgradable to AT LEAST 4 GB. If you’re thinking of buying a NEW computer that is NOT upgradable to 4GB of memory, I would suggest you reconsider your purchase and opt for a computer that is. When you get your new computer, (assuming you can perform basic tasks like turning a No.1 Phillips screwdriver or having someone skilled in that department do it for you), review your new computer manual under the heading of “Memory..upgrading, installing, etc”. The manual should specify and most of them will literally draw you a picture of where your memory expansion slots are. Once you have found out where the memory goes and how much memory your computer will handle (again, the manual should spell out the total allowable memory), simply cruise over to Ebay and put in a search string something like “(your exact computer brand name and model) + memory” then click search. Find yourself a reputable seller with reasonably high-volume sales and feedback preferably over the 95% range and buy your memory cards from them. CAUTION: Double check the auction site to make SURE your model is listed as being compatible with the memory you’re about to buy. Buying computer memory from Ebay will literally save you hundreds if not thousands of dollars and installing it yourself is a breeze. In most newer models you simply follow the instructions in your new manual for how to install new memory, which most of the time is something like – POWER DOWN the computer, REMOVE any supplemental batteries on laptops just to be on the safe side, open the memory compartment CAREFULLY, unsnap the side clips and gently remove the old memory – installation is the reverse of this process. You hold the memory with your fingers on each side of it and gently “seat” it in the proper place, then make sure the clips are snapped back in place. When you get your new memory in the mail be CAREFUL with it – do NOT touch the GOLD part, WEAR rubber-soled shoes to ground yourself and PAY ATTENTION to what you are doing. Keep the memory you remove in a relatively airtight container (a zip-lock baggie does nicely). Once you have the new memory installed and your system is now MAXED out with memory, snap the battery in (if you have an external battery on a laptop and cut the computer on. If your new memory is properly SEATED, the computer should recognize the upgrade and “adapt” itself to the change. It may send you a screen message to this effect or prompt you to hit a key to say “yes”..it’s that simple. When your computer is running with maxed out memory (like 4 GB for example) you will be amazed at the increased performance and will discover that it wasn’t the programs after all that were faulty – it was simply the lack of memory (and processor strength) to drive them. Congratulations, you’ve just saved yourself a thousand or two thousand dollars and best of all, you did it yourself! Installing memory is a SIMPLE task that every serious computer owner should BE ABLE TO DO because it takes NO SKILL at all!…Here’s to maxed out computers and happy trouble-free computing software. (Ok, let’s face it, there are a few buggy programs out there that wouldn’t give you the time of day if you had a terabyte of memory paired with the newest Dual-Core, but we won’t name names – in this post anyway.)
