How Do You Determine How Many RAM Modules A Computer Holds?
Random Access Memory (RAM) is an important component of your computer that determines its speed and memory. You can find a tiny circuit board with many chips in your computer which is called a Memory module. Here’s how to determine how many RAM modules a computer takes. Check your computer’s configuration. To understand RAM modules, first learn about RAM size, speed and sockets. Determine the type of RAM in your computer. To do this, go to “Start” and select “Settings.” This will lead you to the “Control Panel.” Here click on “System” and choose “General.” You can view the amount of RAM at the bottom of the screen. Get familiar with the types of RAM used in a computer. The most common type is SDRAM (Synchronous DRAM). Other types of RAM include DDR (Double Data Rate SDRAM) and RDRAM (Rambus DRAM). Pentiums and Celerons now usually have an SDRAM installed in the CPU. Newer machines have DDR and RDRAM. Remember that RAM is usually expanded by the power of two such as 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 12
