Installing more memory
I just installed more memory on my Dell Dimension 2400. I had 126 MB and installed 512 more.
If I remove the old 126 memory card and replace it with a new 512 MB to get 1024 MB, will I lose information?
I mean, where are my computer's brains stored, in the hard drive, but not the memory cards? Or what?
I'm gonna' get that Sims game working if it's the last thing I do!!!

FYI The Dimension 2400 does not support dual channel memory.

You will be a-ok replacing that old 126MB card. Actually it is wise to replace it with a 512MB card -- that way assuming you buy the same module as the other 512MB card -- you will have a matching memory pair and will be runnind dual-channel memory mode VS single-channel memory mode.
There is no information stored on the memory long-term. Every time you turn the computer off, the memory loses all of its information. SDRAM needs power applied to it to store its information.
