Use this guide to replace the DDR3 RAM (Random Access Memory) Cards within the four different locations in your Dell Precision M4800 computer.

The RAM on a computer stores information and allows for this memory to be received and read instantaneously. It is imperative to know the correct type and size of the RAM Cards used within the computer. The DDR3 Ram cards may need to be replaced or upgraded within your computer due to excessive heat exposure, manufacturing defects, electrostatic exposure, or needing more memory to improve performance.

Before beginning, make sure to shut down your computer entirely and disconnect it from any power source.
