How to Buy DDR RAM

When it comes to your desktop computer, there are a few ways to upgrade so you have a perfectly functional machine for years to come. If youve selected a computer that allows you to add more GB, or DDR GB RAM, then you can choose the type you want to add more memory to your computer. Not only will this help your computer run a little more seamlessly, it will also help when youre running multiple programs at one time.

What is RAM?

Nearly everyone that owns a computer these days is familiar with the term GB RAM, but what does DDR RAM really do?

• RAM is the working memory or memory module of the computer.
• These GB allow your computer to access the memory module in order to use data.
• If your computer doesnt have enough MB or GB in the memory module, the computer will run slowly.
• Several decades ago, RAM was simply RAM. In modern times, there are different types of RAM you can add, with everything from DIMM to DDR400, to allow your computer to run more efficiently. Along with your processor, which is your MHz, these two components work together so that everything runs smoothly. If your memory isnt enough or is corrupt, your desktop will not work correctly.

What Does DDR SDRAM Do?

There are many different types of RAM, such as DIMM, DDR400, non-ECC memory, SDRAM, and more. Many users choose DIMM, DDR SDRAM for several different reasons:

• DDR is the fastest memory you can buy as of 2018, and is the working standard.
• This fast speed helps your MHz and all of your components run more efficiently.
• There are different pin sizes on each memory stick; you may want to match the number of pins to your current configuration. 184 or 240 are common amounts.
• DDR works with nearly any type of computer, across different operating systems.
• There are several types, such as DDR3 or DDR2; DDR3 is the most recent type.
• Some DDR RAM is non-ECC, which means Error Correction Code.

What Are Other Ways to Upgrade?

You may be upgrading your GB and your memory, but there may be other areas of your computer that could use some TLC. Some things you may want to consider upgrading include:

• Your processor: While this doesnt directly correlate with your MB or GB, this affects your MHz. More MHz means a faster computer, and the MHz works with your DDR RAM.
• Your peripherals: A more seamless user experience is found by using ergonomic and wireless keyboards and mice.
• Your video card: You can amp your computer up with more GB and RAM, but if you dont update your video card, programs may be sluggish.
