Introduction
Go to step 1 ↓Has your eMachine been running slow lately? Ready to upgrade to a higher memory size? This guide will show you how to remove the built-in Samsung random access memory (RAM) disks and install two DDR4 SDRAM memory disks.
Note that the size of your memory disks will need to be in DDR4 SDRAM bandwidth.
I will be using the Phillips #1 Screwdriver from my iFixit Pro Tech Toolkit.
