The development of computer technology is moving forward by leaps and bounds. A PC system unit a year ago, being a completely modern machine, can become slow quite soon with the development and complexity of software. The computer's RAM is the module that can increase the speed of work many times over. When deciding to replace a memory slot, you need to understand its main parameters, find out what kind of memory it is and whether it is compatible with other PC components.
Characteristics of RAM
RAM is an operational storage device that stores the data being processed. This memory has its own program code, and it also processes and stores the current data being processed by the processor.
The main parameters of RAM:
- volume,
- type,
- frequency,
- timing.
The amount and size of the device's memory: the larger it is, the better. When choosing a board, you should find out what the maximum amount of memory the motherboard can support.
Memory types are consistent with generations: DDR, DDR2, DDR3, DDR3L, DDR4. The first two generations are already outdated. The third generation is compatible with each other, differing only in power consumption. The fourth generation is the latest, with a frequency of up to 2400 MHz.
Frequency is a parameter responsible for the speed of a computer. It is measured in megahertz. The higher it is, the faster programs load. The frequency must match the characteristics of the processor.
Timing is responsible for the delay between two clock cycles. The lower the rate, the higher the performance. Timing should be taken into account when other characteristics are equal.
Popular brands of RAM include:
- SK Hunix,
- Micron,
- Nanya,
- Samsung,
- Kingston.
Choosing a RAM
The statement "the more GB, the better" is not always true. You should find out how much the motherboard supports. In addition, as the amount of memory grows, so does the power consumption - the power supply must be powerful enough.
The price is also important: used RAM is cheaper than new. And the newer the generation and the more GB, the higher the cost.
People often compare RAM and SSD. To speed up your PC, it is better to upgrade the RAM, although sometimes replacing the hard drive is the only option.
It's better to buy RAM for your PC from trusted sellers in Kyiv or other cities of Ukraine.
