When building a computer, there are a few things that you need to consider: the processor, the motherboard, and the RAM. RAM (random access memory) is a key component of any computer, as it allows you to quickly access data stored on your hard drive.
In order to choose the right RAM for your computer, you first need to know what type of RAM is available and what slots it will fit into.
Types of RAM
There are two types of RAM: DDR (double data rate) and DDR2. DDR2 is newer and has faster speeds than DDR, but it is not as common in computers.
For most computers, you will need either DDR or DDR2 memory.
DDR Slots
DDR3 memory is available in standard laptop computers but is not commonly used in desktop computers. Laptop computers usually have two or four DDR3 memory slots, while desktop computers typically have eight or more slots.
If you want to use DDR3 memory in a desktop computer, you will need to buy a new motherboard and/or processor.
DDR2 Slots
DDR2 memory is more common in desktop computers than laptop computers. Desktop computers typically have four or eight DDR2 memory slots.
If you want to use DDR2 memory in a laptop computer, you will need to buy a new motherboard and/or processor.
