Buying DDR memory for your computer »
Posted By general-review 1 year, 4 months ago in Science & TechnologyMany aspects of the personal computer have increased in leaps and bounds in terms of performance and what they are capable of doing.
Computer memory, often referred to as Random Access Memory (RAM), has become of greater and greater performance as time has gone on.
One of the famous quotes from back in the eighties was one made by Bill Gates when he said that no one would ever need more than 640KB of memory. Well that has been passed for ages now, with high performance machines sometimes sporting over 1GB of it.
There are many advantages that can be had with more memory. -Programs run faster -Less waiting time for programs to load -More programs can be run at a time -Overall computer speed is increased
Double Data Rate (DDR) memory is the staple of the consumer market. It has taken off due to public demand and now comes quite reasonably priced.
Computers don't generally come with less than 256MB of memory nowadays. My computer after freshly installing Windows 2000 (no, I haven't gone to Windows XP yet) takes about 80MB or memory. That is the very least, with no additional programs or anything else installed. After I have installed all the graphics drivers, Internet connection software for ADSL, virus protection and firewall it takes around 160MB of total memory.
