A memory upgrade is typically the easiest and least expensive way to boost your computers performance. While any time is good to add more memory, there are some scenarios in which adding a memory upgrade makes great sense and can dramatically improve your computers performance: Youve upgraded your operating system OS. Youve installed memory-intensive software like photo-editing or a 3-D video game. You work with large files or with three or more programmes at a time. Youve added hardware, such as a new processor or a video card. Youve purchased a new computer that came with too little system memory. Backed by 25 years of Micron experience and the expertise of Microns global team of engineers, Crucial is well-established as the memory industry expert. As a division of Micron, one of the worlds leading providers of advanced semiconductor solutions, Crucial actually makes the memory they sell, right down to the chips. Other memory sellers might claim to be manufacturers, but the truth is they only assemble the m Less

A dual inline memory module (DIMM) consists of a number of memory components (usually black) that are attached to a printed circuit board (usually green). The gold pins on the bottom of the DIMM provide a connection between the module and a socket on a larger printed circuit board. The pins on the front and back of a DIMM are not connected to each other. 184-pin DIMMs are used to provide DDR SDRAM memory for desktop computers. Standard 184-pin DIMMs are available in PC1600 DDR SDRAM, PC2100 DDR SDRAM, PC2700 DDR SDRAM, and PC3200 SDRAM. Less
