RAM Upgrade: How Much Is The Best For Your Computer

The gainful process for upgrading the computer is addition of RAM that will speed up the running of the slothful computer. The computers will be purchased with more than sufficient RAM. But after some years this will become insufficient due to the new programmers that crop up. More memory power is required for the latest operating systems. When a computer has insufficient RAM, it changes the spill over data very often from the hard drive and thus reduces the performance of the computer.


There may be various reasons for the slow performance of a computer. One among them is the RAM capacity. It is advised to check up the RAM immediately when the computer breaks down. How can the requirement of RAM be verified? It is very simple. Just go to the windows task manager and then press Ctrl+Alt+Del to go to the performance tab. The vista users should just click start task manager. If the figure indication is zero next to Available in the case of windows and Free in the case of Vista, then it is a must that the RAM has to be upgraded.

In general, 1 GB RAM is quite sufficient for the users of average Windows XP. The computer that is utilized for running programs like functioning with images and burning of CD’s with Nero Express programme will have a better speed with 1 GB RAM than the 512 MB RAM. But a minimum of 2 GB RAM is required for those users who utilize the computer with the programmers to work with the huge graphic files or digital video. Here again, it is recommended to have 2 GB RAM for a better performance for those computers which are to be upgraded to windows vista.

There are various types of RAM available in the market. Some of them are DDR, DDR2 and DDR3. Those RAM which are produced with the new technology will definitely have a fast performance. But, in general almost many mother boards do accept only one kind of RAM. Hence, it is a must for the user to check up the manual of the computer regarding the type of the RAM that can be installed and its procedure before finalizing the capacity of the RAM and its type. There are also various online equipment available to get the information handy regarding the usage of the type of the RAM in the computer.

Many of the computers that are upgraded now use mostly the dual channel memory. This is mainly due to its extreme good performance. Thus the preference now goes to install two numbers of 512 MB RAM than one number of 1 GB RAM. Here again, the documentation has to be checked before taking up the installation work of RAM. It is also safe to buy quality product without minding paying of a little higher cost rather than going for an inferior quality.
