This is fucking bullshit. Why the hell would you not unplug your computer when you switch out RAM? You're supposed to unplug it, then hold the power button down to discharge any excess static.

>"memory card"

Honestly it's on them for using such vague terminology

There's no way they meant SD card. It's a fucking RAM quiz.

>Memory Card.
>Flash Cards

Nigga u srs?

>>51288243
No one refers to ram as a memory card nigga.

PCs haven't had a hard power switch since the mid 90s.

What the fuck? Do you have any concept of how electricity works at all? How are you doing to discharge anything when it has nowhere to go seeing you unplugged it?
>>
>>51288296
Memory card is still not ram nigger.
Ready boost only uses Flash Memory on USB's to cache shit up.

Leave it plugged in, but flip the power switch on the back so you can't accidentally turn it on. Anything else is pleb tier.

I want to say "surfing the internet" but why is Firefox using 3GB of RAM?
>>
>>51288416
Something you're not connected to once you unplug the computer.
>>
>>51288186
the correct answer is: unplug the pc when removing and replacing RAM
if they mean memory card as in SD Card or so, then yes leaving it plugged in is fine
>>
>>51288186
You're supposed to switch off the power supply but never unplug it.
If you unplug it, you can't conveniently ground yourself by touching the case.
>>
>>51288463
weebsurfing.
Photo editing is loaded straight to ram for caching.
>>
>>51288463
Idk, why don't you ask my gchrome using ~4gb.
