Alternative methods to increase your PC’s RAM:

• Purchase and install additional RAM modules: This is the most common method to increase your PC’s RAM. You can purchase additional RAM modules that match the specifications of your computer and install them into the available memory slots.
• Use a ReadyBoost compatible USB flash drive: If your computer supports ReadyBoost, you can use a USB flash drive as an additional source of memory. ReadyBoost uses the flash drive’s storage space as a cache to improve system performance.
• Increase virtual memory: Virtual memory is a space on your hard drive that is used as temporary memory when your RAM is full. You can increase the size of your virtual memory to compensate for the lack of RAM. However, increasing virtual memory can slow down your computer’s performance.

These methods can increase your PC’s memory, they have their limitations. Adding more RAM can only increase your computer’s performance up to a certain point, after which other hardware upgrades or optimization methods may be necessary to further improve performance.
