Types of random access memory There are generally two broad categories of random access memory: DRAM memories (Dynamic Random Access Module), which are inexpensive. They are used essentially for the computer’s main memory SRAM memories (Static Random Access Module), which are fast and costly. SRAM memories are used in particular for the processor’s cache memory [...]

Memory benchmark – test your memory speed The Advanced Memory Test is part of the PerformanceTest application, and it is designed to test several factors which affect the speed of which data is accessed in PC memory. You can think of computer memory as a long continuous strip. The strip is composed of millions (sometimes [...]

Part I: Basics and Types Memory Speed The speed of the memory will determine the rate at which the CPU can process data. The higher the clock rating on the memory, the faster the system is able to read and write information from the memory. All memory is rated at a specific clock rate in [...]

How Much Memory Do I Need ? The answer really depends on how much and for what your system is used. Upgrading is easy and cost effective. RAM is used every time you open an application, download, play a game or simply turn on your computer. Additionally if you work with or plan to work [...]

In planning for our monthly upcoming series on the Best Memory for the Money, we decided to take a look only at three kinds of PC memory, and to skip the SODIMMs (small outline dual in-line memory modules) so commonly used in notebook PCs nowadays. These will probably make their first appearance later, but for [...]

Memory (RAM) and its influence on performance It’s been proven that adding more memory to a computer system increases its performance. If there isn’t enough room in memory for all the information the CPU needs, the computer has to set up what’s known as a virtual memory file. In so doing, the CPU reserves space [...]

The computer memory or RAM is considered one of the fastest ways to speed up your computer. Actually computer memory could be more important than processor speed. The amount and speed of the computer memory you use can have a large impact on how pleasant it is to use your computer as it allows your [...]

To increase your computer’s memory capability or available RAM, use either of the following methods: Note: Although there are different types of memory in a computer, this article only describes computer RAM and virtual memory. Increase the Amount of RAM in Your Computer For information about how to add more RAM to your computer, contact [...]
