How Can I Be Sure to Get the Apartment I am Looking For?

In order to make sure you find the apartment in Philadelphia you are looking for, you need to have a clear idea of what you are looking for when you approach the leasing agent. This includes the following
  • Knowing how much you are willing to pay.
  • The size of the apartment you are looking to rent or lease or purchase.
  • Where you prefer the apartment to be located,
  • Any other amenities you want to be included.
  • Whether the pets are allowed
  • If you are a pet owner, you will also need to bring this to the attention of the leasing agent.
By putting together a comprehensive list of what you are looking for in an apartment, you can simply submit this to the leasing agent and ask that the agent contact you with a list of apartment options that fit your criteria. Once the leasing agent supplies you with a list, you can select the ones that are of the most interest to you.
In some cases, the agent will only provide you with the apartment information and you will be left to look into the apartments in houston on your own. In other cases, the leasing agent will actually take you to view the various apartment rentals on the list. If this is important to you, be sure to deal with an agent that will take this extra step for you."

How to Choose and Install Memory on Your Computer

In general, upgrading memory is a simple task—assuming you purchase the proper type of memory for the upgrade. Factors that affect the proper type of memory are:
The following sections discuss each of the factors that affect the purchase of memory for your system.
Speed: When purchasing memory, you need to first take into account the speed of the memory, which is typically measured in nanoseconds (ns). SIMMs usually runs between 60ns and 80ns. Make sure you don’t mix and match these speeds. The speed of the module is usually indicated on the chips themselves (by displaying either a numeric value or a simple minus sign with a number). For example, a memory module running at 70ns would show either a “70” or a “–7” on the chips.
Connectors: Another important issue with regard to memory installation is that you need to purchase the proper metal used for the pins on the memory modules. The metal used is either silver or gold. If the SIMM socket uses silver-plated connectors, the memory module you purchase must use silver-plated pins.
Parity/non-parity: The final issue with regard to memory upgrades is whether the system uses parity or non-parity memory. This information can be determined by checking the documentation that came with the system, or by trying to find the information on the Internet at the vendor’s Web site.
Installing memory: Now that you have purchased either parity or non-parity memory at the correct speed and with the proper metal-plated pins, you are ready to install the memory.
