THE JARGON BUSTER

When i say JARGON BUSTER many would easily think of Credit cards, as part of the financial industry. But the JARGON BUSTER that i'm talking about here is one of the major components of computer system. RAM. When you open a program, your computer loads it from your hard drive into an area which is known as the RAM or RANDOM Access memory. RAM is accessed much more quickly than data read from the hard drive, which therefore allows your programs to respond faster. The more RAM you have installed, the more data can be loaded simultaneously. The result of this is a better overall computer performance. Some times we may be wondering how best to handle the RAM, but to do this, always handle by the edges and avoid touching the chips or gold contacts.
More also, you may be determining how much RAM you need, but sincerely compare your RAM with the recommended amounts for your operating system. Other programs use RAM,too, so the more the better.
You may need to know how much RAM you need, honestly windows XP can manage a maximum of up to 4GB of RAM, so that's the ideal maximum. However, it will run well with 1GB.
HOT TIP
Buy new RAM. Hold memory in your pc might be slower than any new RAM you purchase. Therefore, always buy all-new RAM, as mixing old and new may slow down your pc.
