How to enlarge the operational memory of the computer

RAM contains all data on current processes running in the computer system. Its volume is an important parameter in the configuration of any computer or gadget.

Of course, the more memory, the better, but do not forget about some nuances. First, unlike tablets, in stationary computers and laptops there is an opportunity to expand the amount of RAM - this will allow you to save a little when buying, and through time to raise performance. Secondly, if RAM on board portable gadgets is enough to fulfill their tasks, then everything is more complicated with laptops. Sometimes even a simple set of browser, Skype and office applications occupies a lion's share of the scope of "RAM", not to mention new games demanding on PC resources. That is why an increase in the volume of RAM is one of the components of the "right" upgrade of your computer.

It will not be too much to spend time checking the system both with software and hardware point of view. Beaming work can be both unnecessary processes (unused background services and programs, viruses) and insufficient performance of "iron" due to low performance characteristics or overheating. The speed test in different applications will help to understand whether RAM really needs upgrade.

Finding out the current volume of RAM, it is possible to estimate the cost of the upgrade and its feasibility. Do not forget that due to the features of memory addressing to work in Windows XP, no more than 3 GB will be available. It is also necessary to make sure that there are enough free slots on the motherboard for new slats.

By defining the type of supported RAM, it is necessary to learn not only the number of memory chips and the stated standard speed standard, but also sizes of planks. To date, DDR3 is a relevant format, but in older computers it can be DDR or DDR2. You can clarify the size and speed mode on the marking of the memory schedules themselves or referred to information on the manufacturer's website.

If you decide to purchase several slats, it is better to give preference to the kit, in which the planks belong to the same production series and excellent "work". In the event of a complete replacement of the planks, the manufacturer's new selection will not be the main criterion, but if you decide to add new fees to the already available, do not be lazy to make sure that products of different manufacturers will not conflict among themselves.

The dismantling of RAM layers is extremely simple: it is necessary to remove the cover cover and put it horizontally. Large fingers dilute the locksters - they push the bar up, after which it can be pulled out with a slight movement of the hand. Installing a new line is as simple. Making sure that the clamps are divorced to the parties, orient the board in the connector (it is divided into two unequal parts) and, easily clicking on the bar, twist the clamps. They should get into the grooves and set the bar in the regular position.

Before replacing the RAM module, do not forget to remove the static voltage from the computer housing to avoid the ignition of the items. To do this, it is enough to touch the radiator, and then to the system unit.
