@GraceyManor lol I understand. You need to make sure any RAM stick you buy is compatible with your motherboard. That info isn't in the dxdiag. To find out what Motherboard you have, you can do the following:
Hit Windows Key+R. In the text box that comes up, type "cmd" and hit ok. This will open the command prompt. Here, type the following exactly as it is typed here:
Hit enter and your Motherboard manufacturer and product will be shown. Jot that info down somewhere.
Then, go here:

Click "+Choose A Motherboard", type yours into the search bar and find it in the list and click "add" on the far right. Then, if you click "+Choose Memory" it will show you products compatible with your Motherboard. Pick whichever you want, find somewhere to buy it, buy it, and then find someone to put it in your computer for you. Though, I will say, installing RAM sticks is one of the easier things to do so I think if you look up a Youtube tutorial you and your husband should be able to figure it out. If not, or if you're afraid of trying it yourself I'm sure someone like Geek Squad would install them for you for a fee.
