@kingrare5 lol impossible to say, 2GB is a good amount for any duty, even for gaming with medium graphical settings. Is it fast? Can't say on RAM alone, as the CPU and GPU and HDD have a lot to do with your overall system performance.
If you are asking if the individual RAM is fast, then you need to look at the memory speed. Should have a rating such as 800MHz or 1333MHz or 2000MHz. The faster the better, but the RAM has to be compatible with the speed of your motherboard's Front Side Bus.
@MegaAnt5 Are you asking if there is a way to add more RAM? Not really if you have filled both slots. However, best time to buy RAM is right now as it is super cheap. 4GB of RAM (2x2GB) will be only about $40. Buy online for the best deals.
@DieHarD9191 same here i figured it out all we need is more ram my hp pavilion sucked so bad i bought a new graphics card and more ram to make it go faster hope i helped
@DieHarD9191 might not be due to lag, #1 improvement for a PC is GPU. What are you running? Also buy some new RAM if possible, best time for it! 4GB of RAM is only about $40 AUD/US.
I have a slow computer with only 1 GB ram. And my brother has a computer almost the same as my computer (not 100 procent the same parts i think), but he dont want to have the computer so he is selling it to me. Can i just take the 1 GB ram out, and put in my own, turn on the computer, and it will now have 2 GB ram? Or does it have to be installed, or something els to think about so it will work? thanks
i got a acer laptop for free the other week as it didn't work n was in bad shape. i stripped it down and got it working got a power supply and installed vista. works like a charm apart from its so so slow because of 1GB of ram. it maxes out the ram and then i get judder and lockup. i just had an additional 1GB of ram turn up today that is identical to the stick inside so i can dual channel. its in and running and is so so fast. i'm writing this on it right now :)
512mb?!!?!? wtf......my com is from 2005.......brand is compaq..........and my ram is only 224mb -.-.....and everytime i play blackshot,loading joining game,it takes a longgggggg.....time.....that ppl always kill me first.......any help on this plz?
@irfanfeizal haha spewing! stay away from compaq or hp or other generic brands you can buy at your local big-name electronics retailer. If you want a decent computer from them you will pay way too much and then it will still be under spec.
Look online in your country. Or try a small computer builder. Use wiki & forums like OCAU to learn about parts. Then build a custom machine. Will be heaps faster, and heaps heaps cheaper. The building part is fun or you can pay them to make it, should be $100

i can tell you what you need (oh AND IN 2005 THE MINIMUM of ram that came on computer was 1 gig)
maybe its much older then you think. or that you have more then 248 megs, just that maybe one of your ram chip is defective wich would result in being deactivated.
Hello I have a dell dimension c521 it has 1344mb of ram should I use 1gb to upgrade it yet again? and will 2k+ ram will help me not lag in an mmo i play that has only 850mb?
Hello there! I've recently bought a Dell Vostro 430 computer with i7 proccesor and 4gb of RAM, I bought 2 extra RAM today and it listed 6gb RAM under Properties. Though, it says "6GB (2.96 gb is available to use) Does that mean I only have 3gb atm? o.O
Well, a 32bit version of Windows can handle only 2,96 gb of ram, so You must have a 64bit version of Windows, because it can handle way more RAM than the 32bit version. It will handle your 6 gigs for sure. :)

When I put some RAM into my computer, do I need to do something in the windows, like accept that RAM insert or install it, that lets my computer begin to use it? And one more question. Is there any possibility that when I will insert 2GB of RAM my motherboard would not be able to work with it, there would be too many of RAM for my old motherboard and there wouldnt be any result of adding RAM.

no you dont need to install your new ram. but the 2nd question is yes. you need to see what kind of mother board you have, and what kind of ram ur old ram was. check the channeling, also, check what bit your operating system is, for example, if your operating system is 32 bit, then you can have a maximum of 2 gig of ram.
think of it this way it 32 bit = 2 x 16. 64 bit = 4 x 16. and this is regular ddr2 channeling.
lukas make sure u adding the right ram there is DDR,DDR2, and DDR3 if ur motherboard is old then it is most likely to take DDR rams and no u don need a disk to install just insert the ram and ur good to go :) it will make ur computer faster just make sure u using DDR Ram sticks because other wise ur computer mite brake if u use other kinds of ram ddr is the slowest ram
check your other ram stick that is already inside ur computer. it either says ddr or ddr2 or ddr3 then u will no wat type of ram stick u need :) its on the side of your ram stick ull see ddr or ddr2 or ddr3
and ram capacity is mostly capped by the operating system. 32bit OSs use 3,25-3,5GB of RAM. 64bit OSs like vista home premmium use up to 16 if i remember right and vista ultimate uses up to 128GB which is not possible at the moment.
dude the only way you would pay that much for it, is if you were making another google. JK no there are way wicked fast super machines out there with like 16 gb of ram.
I have 2gb ram (2 stick of 1gb) and i have just bought another 2 sticks of 1gb so i should have 4gb (the new sticks i bought are identicle to my old ones) but when i out them all in by pc doesnt boot and ceepsrestarting its self? if i put 3 stiks in it boots but only says i have have 2gb? i have tried every way of putting them in but it just doesnt work my pc only sees 2gb!!! please help me?
im not an expert by any means but i think pc's have a limit to how much ram it will recognise or handle. when i bought my pc it said on the website that its 1gb and then said that its upgradable to 2gb. so i can only assume yours is the same and thats why it wont work.
hers a question I NEED HELP i got memmery tht works in bios switched each card for vista and evry card wors but i install both 1 gig card in it shoes in BIOS i save as defuld and load vista, and vista wont reconise the extra ram how do i do it i need 2 gigs to run my games????
click start-run then type "msconfig" then click the "boot" tab then the "Advanced options" and make sure that maximum memory is set to 2gb instead of 1gb
it's a good idea, but not absolutely necessary as long as you're in a relatively non-static environment (i.e. decent humidity and you're not wearing polyester or nylon) and "ground" yourself (by touching the case metal) before you start.
the human body gives off static electricity and the RAM modules are very delicate to any electrical discharge...you can eliminate this static electricity by (grounding yourself) touching any metal surface
anyone help plz...well i just bought brand new ram...2 sticks of 1GB DDR2 ram from Kingston...and when i try to pair it up with the original 2 512mg sticks my computer already has it does 2 long beeps with a long pause between them...is it incomparability?
pfft i have 515 mb of RAM and it runs ok for games like WoW. but i asked friends how much they have and they said 2gb. now im like wow i've only been runnin of of about 1/4 of the amount of ram u have? so now im off to the computer store to make the guy install the ram for me and buy 2gb of ram.
hey i wanted to upgrade my laptop ram and it is compaq presario c570ea and hp told me it can be upgraded to 2gb ram but u must put maximum 1 chip of a 1gb in each slot but i didnt find a 1gb in the shop i went so i bought a 2gb ship and put it then it worked perfecly so will be bad results in the future or wat ...2nd question is Dimm ram or dim ..w/e means DDR or DDR2 and why is DDR more expensive than DDR2 thanx
i generally buy ram off of newegg, which as long as you get a highly rated item, it's hard to go wrong. just make sure you have the right kind for your system.
thats kinda incorrect about inserting the ram- with most computers when you use ddr ram you can insert the ram any way- with older cumputers which use sdr ram you have to insert it a certain way

ok wat is RAM i know its some kinda memory source but wat does it store? And wat does Local Disk (C:) store cuz there is this game i want to download but it is 1GB and my RAM is 1014MB and my Local Disk (C:) has 99.9GB left so i dont know if i can download it cuz i dont know where its gonna be stored on the RAM or the Local Disk (C:)?
RAM, is what holdes the application your working on at that moment. when you turn the power off nothing is on the RAM. the game you are trying to download will go into the harddrive- (local disc C), when you open the game it get loaded on to the RAM. NOTE: if you run alot of applications at once you will need to get a bigger RAM bank. but dont just go and bye one make sure you get the right kind! hope it help.

ok you guys read this....... i got 2gb of ram and its super fast,now, what if i buy 8 gb or 10(if it exists) my computer will be faster or its just it can hold more programs at similar 2gb speed,i mean, if i got 2gb of ram, at the 50 programs it gets slow(example),at 10 gb of ram will 100 programs run like 2 programs with 2 gb?. Thank you
you computer will run faster if you buy more RAM thats because 2gb is less than 10 gb, the 10 gb will allow your computer to access all the info it needs from your hard drive, which is RAM(random access memory), the more you have, the faster it will be able to attain info from your hard drive and run them, hope this helps =)
yea no prob but u gotta make sure ur motherboard can take 10 gb of ram. most pcs only have 4-5 spaces for ram so the most you can put in is 4-5 gb of ram. You need a very expensive motherboard to hold 10gb of ram so check and then buy
thanks thats the same thing the seller told me:the max ram you can get its 4gb i tell him that if he has a more powerful motherboard and he say no,poor of me:( thanks for you help,you too Willforbes
you cant get 10 gb of ram in one computer thats impossible. the maximum amount of spaces for ram in any one computer is 4 on a good mobo. unless you can buy single ram sticks of 2.5gb (which i highly doubt).
i know this is a year old, but i still gotta say, this is no longer proper...
actually never was, yes, you could get more than 10 gig of ram on server boards, which arnt THAT much different than desktop, other than they cost a ton more so you can add that much more memory...
but that being said, you can now purchse off the shelf desktop boards that support 12 gigs currently, with plans for me
mmmmmm Intel i7, and 12 gigs of ram, beautiful thing
you can go to START then ALL PROGRAM then ACCESSORIES then SYSTEM TOOL then SYSTEM INFORMATION. You look at physical memory and then you'll know how much RAM you have

my computer is from like 2002 or 3 and its windows xp 32-bit would it be DDR OR DDR2?
yewtubepl0x 2 years ago
check your other ram stick that is already inside ur computer. it either says ddr or ddr2 or ddr3 then u will no wat type of ram stick u need :) its on the side of your ram stick ull see ddr or ddr2 or ddr3
EminemBeastFan24 2 years ago
i'd say DDR but use PC Wizard 2009 from CPUID

no i will automaticly recognize it.
and ram capacity is mostly capped by the operating system. 32bit OSs use 3,25-3,5GB of RAM. 64bit OSs like vista home premmium use up to 16 if i remember right and vista ultimate uses up to 128GB which is not possible at the moment.

GTA IV is mostly not runnng that much memory. it does most impact on CPU and GPU. so if your processor or Graphics card is weak i would upgrade this.

It will not boot. I think a ddr2 strip of ram doesnt even fit on a ddr1 mobo.

no you can't put DDR2 into a DDR1 mobo. it is not backwards compatible.

your computer wouldn't boot up. and idk if you could even put the ddr2 ram in there anyways. different sizes i think.

Computernerd187 2 years ago
im not an expert by any means but i think pc's have a limit to how much ram it will recognise or handle. when i bought my pc it said on the website that its 1gb and then said that its upgradable to 2gb. so i can only assume yours is the same and thats why it wont work.

aren't you meant to use an anti-static wrist strap before putting your hands into the computer?
WillWFL 3 years ago
it's a good idea, but not absolutely necessary as long as you're in a relatively non-static environment (i.e. decent humidity and you're not wearing polyester or nylon) and "ground" yourself (by touching the case metal) before you start.

the human body gives off static electricity and the RAM modules are very delicate to any electrical discharge...you can eliminate this static electricity by (grounding yourself) touching any metal surface

thats kinda incorrect about inserting the ram- with most computers when you use ddr ram you can insert the ram any way- with older cumputers which use sdr ram you have to insert it a certain way

ok wat is RAM i know its some kinda memory source but wat does it store? And wat does Local Disk (C:) store cuz there is this game i want to download but it is 1GB and my RAM is 1014MB and my Local Disk (C:) has 99.9GB left so i dont know if i can download it cuz i dont know where its gonna be stored on the RAM or the Local Disk (C:)?
xxMrNicexx 3 years ago
RAM and hard drive space are completely different dude.
Your game will go to your local disk, the ram is what runs the whole process...so depending on the game, you shouldnt need to upgrade your ram...
alexishhot 3 years ago
RAM, is what holdes the application your working on at that moment. when you turn the power off nothing is on the RAM. the game you are trying to download will go into the harddrive- (local disc C), when you open the game it get loaded on to the RAM. NOTE: if you run alot of applications at once you will need to get a bigger RAM bank. but dont just go and bye one make sure you get the right kind! hope it help.

ok you guys read this....... i got 2gb of ram and its super fast,now, what if i buy 8 gb or 10(if it exists) my computer will be faster or its just it can hold more programs at similar 2gb speed,i mean, if i got 2gb of ram, at the 50 programs it gets slow(example),at 10 gb of ram will 100 programs run like 2 programs with 2 gb?. Thank you
bolo10000 4 years ago
im kinda geting wot ur asking so here it goes:
you computer will run faster if you buy more RAM thats because 2gb is less than 10 gb, the 10 gb will allow your computer to access all the info it needs from your hard drive, which is RAM(random access memory), the more you have, the faster it will be able to attain info from your hard drive and run them, hope this helps =)

bolo10000 3 years ago
yea no prob but u gotta make sure ur motherboard can take 10 gb of ram. most pcs only have 4-5 spaces for ram so the most you can put in is 4-5 gb of ram. You need a very expensive motherboard to hold 10gb of ram so check and then buy
elie5252 3 years ago
thanks thats the same thing the seller told me:the max ram you can get its 4gb i tell him that if he has a more powerful motherboard and he say no,poor of me:( thanks for you help,you too Willforbes
bolo10000 3 years ago
you cant get 10 gb of ram in one computer thats impossible. the maximum amount of spaces for ram in any one computer is 4 on a good mobo. unless you can buy single ram sticks of 2.5gb (which i highly doubt).
Willforbes296532 3 years ago
i know this is a year old, but i still gotta say, this is no longer proper...
actually never was, yes, you could get more than 10 gig of ram on server boards, which arnt THAT much different than desktop, other than they cost a ton more so you can add that much more memory...
but that being said, you can now purchse off the shelf desktop boards that support 12 gigs currently, with plans for me
mmmmmm Intel i7, and 12 gigs of ram, beautiful thing
