btw, has anyone even tried this?...

I have. And actually, people, this won't keep it from crashing, but it will cause less freezes. The computer has more memory, so it's less likely to run out. And in many cases, freezes cause crashes, or at least make you have to restart your computer, etc, etc.

No, it just increases the boot up speed of Windows.

To get more memory:

1)Go to your local computer store.
2)Ask the guy for "Extra REM". The price differs from store to store, but the average is around $10.
3)He will hand you a disk with REM marked in large block letters on it.
4)Put it into your computer. Make sure your current OS is selected.
5)A prompt will appear asking you what program you want to run the disk with. Select "cmd.exe". It stands for "Command Prompt.exe".
6)A second prompt will appear, asking you where you want to save "REM[cmd].exe". Select "My Computer", then "OS_Install[C:]".
7)It will ask you to confirm. Do so.
8)If you're not on an administrator account, you will be asked to enter an administrator account's password.
9)Wait a while, then click "Eject" when it finishes.
10)The disk will pop out and you can do whatever you want with it. Some stores will give you back a deposit amount of money if you return it to them. Have fun!

i don't know what u r talking about... r u sure u don't mean RAM? coz RAM doesn't come on a disc... it is a card thing that u insert into ur RAM slot inside ur computer... oh and this tutorial actually made my whole computer go faster... before i did it, it was going so slow i couldn't even type!

The reason it is in the Boot tab is because you have to select an OS

Nonsense. Technologically Impaired Penguin said you could buy RAM so IT MUST BE TRUE BECAUSE IT HEARD IT ON THE INTERNET AND [ahem - ease up, please. Even if you are kidding, there's too much potential for confusion.  ]

Stop trolling

How to make sure your computer (almost) never crash: get a Mac. 

I have had Macs crash on multiple occasions.

So shut up and stop acting so uppity.

Me too.  And the new Mac OS X 10.7 (Lion) is SOOOOO buggy.  My icons get rearranged, weird files show up on my Desktop randomly that can't be deleted, and it randomly says that I can't open apps, and to give myself access on an Admin user (there's only the original user on the computer).

cool!!!
