He's talking about RAM, not the SSD. Completely separate subject.Is this the type of SSD I need ?

You can use the system scanner on the crucial.com site to find out what SSD options there are for your PC.Can you recommend one ? My computer is just used for browsing .
Do you know of any good videos on how to install an SSD on to a desktop with ubuntu ? It looks like I need to buy a SATA cable toHe's talking about RAM, not the SSD. Completely separate subject.
Kingston was selling "kits" for a while that had a 3.5" bay adapter, cable, and USB housing for cloning your old drive onto the new one using Acronis (which it came with a license for). Let me see if I can find if the kit is still around.Do you know of any good videos on how to install an SSD on to a desktop with ubuntu ? It looks like I need to buy a SATA cable to
OK, found it:Kingston was selling "kits" for a while that had a 3.5" bay adapter, cable, and USB housing for cloning your old drive onto the new one using Acronis (which it came with a license for). Let me see if I can find if the kit is still around.
Linux is a different world now. Redhat Linux is fully maintained and supports enterprise use. There are offshoots that favor the home user. Ubuntu is pretty popular. i like fedora, a lot, as they package different versions you can select based on interests, like writing, drawing, A/V editing, photography, etc.. most come with an office-like program for word processing, email, and the like. Good stuff!I messed around with Linux in my Junior year at High School (circa 2010) , but kind of drifted away and forgot about it. May have to revisit. Hopefully its more friendly now to us the average users.
Man I shoulda jumped on that when you posted it. I think it was $70 at the time then they ran out. Back in stock price is $101. May have to buy from different seller.OK, found it:

Like Overkill said, "NO".Are these the specs for an SSD based on the amount of RAM I have ? Also is there a way to find out the amount of RAM I have without opening the computer ? I'm also running Ubuntu.
We're looking for a new desktop as well. Our Dell desktop is at least 10 years old and it's getting really really slow.Get 16GB of RAM to future proof the computer and an SSD drive. Graphics card, CPU and video won’t really matter much for you.
still can connect things to laptop directly or through dockPrefer desk top with larger monitor, not a lap top. Plug in mouse and keyboard. I'm okay buying online but i dont know where to buy. A lot of refurbished stuff comes up on amazon. I'd prefer new.
There is a best buy near me. I'd like to stay under $700 as its only used for internet , simple taxes, and some picture storage. But for no more than i use it, do i even need to spend that much? No kids will use it, no gaming.
Thanks.
That and do yourself a favor go with a 27 inch monitor, you will be glad you did and cost not much more than a 24.Your better off going to Dell.com and picking one out. I prefer a desktop to.
Depends on the computer. Some are NVMe (looks like a big stick of gum, mounts to the motherboard, sometimes called PCIe) and some are SATA (looks like a laptop hard drive, has a cable). Some real low end models will still have a HDD only, and some have both.We're looking for a new desktop as well. Our Dell desktop is at least 10 years old and it's getting really really slow.
I'm confused about hard drives. Do today's computers have both a SSD and a disc drive or just an SSD? (My laptop has only an SSD). If only an SSD, how big should we get? Can you add capacity later?
We're fairly light users and are not interested in games. We do have a lot of photos however. I'd like to stick with Windows 10 (we have an Office 2010 disc that I think I can install). We'd prefer a tower and separate monitor rather than an all in one. So far a single monitor has met our needs. Future proofing and reliability are obviously important. Budget is say $1500 Cdn ($1,000 US) but could go higher.
Thoughts?
