Crucial Memory Sweepstakes!

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Crucial.com for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.

I personally still have a six year old desktop computer that is still going strong thanks to the fact that I’ve maxed out the RAM.

Your computer relies on RAM, or Random Access Memory, for temporary high-speed storage to operate from. RAM is much more expensive per gigabyte than hard drive space, because it is so much faster. RAM is also volatile, meaning its contents are lost after the computer is powered off. Sooner or later, your computer's performance may slow down as large programs are loaded onto the computer. Unless you're maxed out on RAM, you can increase your computer's memory by installing new RAM modules. But wait, your not a computer guru.  You can’t change your memory, can you?  Well now you can because Crucial.com has easy solutions for the average Joe.

Testing your computer's memory is important, especially for PC users. I recently used a system scanner that detects computer performance identifying the existing RAM that your computer has and provides a listing of recommendations how much memory is applicable to you. The scanner came from Crucial.com. Simply visit Crucial’s website and scan your computer.  It is easy as clicking a button and they will determine what RAM upgrades would improve the performance of your system. This is easy and affordable and you will wonder why you didn’t do it earlier.

Now you don’t need to buy a new computer since this upgrade has brought your old system back to life.

Here’s a good news! You could WIN big! By entering Crucial Memory Sweepstakes. Simply take a quick Apple computers survey and be entered to win $10,000 worth of Apple gift cards. Also, Crucial.com announced that it will match the grand prize with a $10,000 Apple gift card to TechSoup Global, a nonprofit organization that provides other nonprofits and libraries with the technology needed to fulfill their missions and serve their communities.

In addition to the Grand Prize, one 1st Prize winner will receive a Crucial® SSD upgrade & one runner-up will receive a Crucial memory upgrade.

The contest ends: “June 30^th”

So, what are you waiting for? Your entry is just a quick survey away.
