I believe that computer memory ram is one of the
most important parts of a computer. Yes it doesn't
have the prestige of the others and the speed, but when you are really annoyed that certain
programs won't speed up because you have a lot of things running guess who comes to the
rescue? That's right the answer is computer ram memory!
About a year ago I found myself with an old computer with a low amount of computer ram.
1 gb may be normal for you, but I need a ton more. I installed 4 gb of g.skill DDR ram and
wow what a boost in performance. I was able to do all the multitasking that I had tried to do
for so long and now it was no problem. Now I feel like its time to toss this one and build a
brand new one just for kicks.
Definition of RAM
You are probably wondering what does ram stand for. You have come to the right place for
for this answer. It stands for (Random Access Memory). Just like the
computer RAM memory in
your computer hard drive you need other memory that you can access randomly when
moving things around. The important thing is this is only used by the computer to do its
operations and doesn't need to be permamently saved somewhere.
Different Types of Computer Memory RAM
Several types of computer memory is available. I will explain what these are in the
sections below. You are sure to find information on whatever type you might need
for your new or old computer
DDR RAM is known as (Double Data Rate Random Access Memory). This is compared to its
predecessor SDRAM (Single Data Rate Random Access Memory) that it was based on. All
of the DDR versions are based off of SDRAM. When you control the timing and clock
rate with electric signals you are able to increase the speed of cheap RAM. This is
mainly done in overclocking. This is also how engineers move up to the next fastest
level!
If you are still wondering about the name double data rate don't really focus
on it too much. It is as simple as it sounds. It is just ironically twice as
fast as SDRAM.
DDR2 RAM
This pc memory is not compatible with DDR RAM or DDR3 RAM at all. DDR2 RAM generally
is able to what DDR RAM does with less power and lower clock rates and provides even
more speed and size while doing that. It is a fantastic feat. The manufacturing
process changed along with the computer cpu to make the chips smaller and use less
power. You will also find the protective areas of the computer ram has a lot of
cooling features as well to help this puppy stay cool.
DDR3 RAM
Once again this is not backwards or forward compatible. It is the current version we
are using right now and it is ridiculously fast. I used to know somebody that made
the NAND chips for these and the process is very exact and particular. You gotta
love getting into one of those plastic ESD suits. Power consumption has lowered,
power output has increased, die size has decreased,

Computer Memory RAM Manufacturer List
A lot of computer ram memory companies are out there, but they are not all created
equal. Some have super quality parts and others just want to meet a specific set
of specifications and stop with their quality work at that point. I will show you,
which companies you should purchase from in a simple list below.
