RAM Upgrade Malaysia

A RAM is a type of computer data storage device used in most computers. Unlike most storage devices, it doesn’t hold data permanently but needs to be regularly refreshed. Without refresh, the stored data will disappear.  RAM is short for Random Access Memory, which means that the data is sent in any order and received in any order. It is used for storing programs and data that the computer is using at that moment.

When you are looking to upgrade your old RAM sticks, you have to take a few things into consideration. First is your motherboard, if you have a newer motherboard you may not have to upgrade at all. The second thing you need to think about is what you are going to use your computer for. If you are going to be doing hefty tasks, such as video editing or rendering, you are going to need to step up in your RAM.

A common computer problem is low memory, or ‘not enough RAM’. This happens when programs require a lot of memory. The operating system (Windows) keeps a lot of information in RAM. If your computer is slow, check the amount of RAM.

A RAM upgrade can improve laptop performance, and it’s cheaper than replacing the entire computer. In fact, it can be a good way to breathe new life into an older laptop. If you’re not sure whether you need a RAM upgrade, run a hardware diagnostic test. Most laptops come with a built-in diagnostic tool, although you may need to use a bootable CD to run the program.

What is RAM?

Random-access memory, or RAM, is an essential component in all devices, from PCs to smartphones to game consoles. Without RAM, doing just about anything on any system would be much, much slower. On the flip side, not having enough for the application or game you’re trying to run can bring things to a crawl or even prevent them from running at all.

But what is RAM exactly? In a nutshell, it’s a high-speed component that temporarily stores all the information a device needs both right now and imminently. Accessing data in RAM is insanely fast, unlike hard drives that are slower but provide long-term storage.

Short Term Memory

RAM is essentially a device’s short-term memory. It temporarily stores (remembers) everything currently running on a device, like all OS-specific services and any web browser, image editor, or game you’re playing.

RAM prevents the CPU from digging through the device’s slower storage — like a hard drive or even a solid-state drive (SSD) — every time you request a new browser tab or load a new enemy to shoot. As fast as storage is when compared to drives of years gone by, they’re still far slower than RAM.

Data that resides in RAM is readable from any capable component at almost the same speed. Because it has a hard-wired connection to the device, there’s no real latency in cabling or connection.

RAM doesn’t remember everything forever, however. It’s a “volatile” technology, meaning that once it loses power, it forgets everything. That makes it perfect for handling the multitude of high-speed tasks that your device throws at it each day.

But it’s also why storage systems like hard drives and SSDs are required. Unlike RAM, they hold information when the device powers off.

Signs of a malfunctioning RAM

• Bluescreens (bluescreen of death)

• Random crashes or reboots

• Crashing during heavy memory use tasks, such as gaming, Photoshop etc.

• Distorted graphics on your computer screen

• Failure to boot (or turn on), and/or repeated long beeps

• Memory errors appear on screen

• Computer appears to boot, but screen remains blank

How Much RAM Do You Need?

In a nutshell, here are some simple guidelines that apply to most PC devices.

• 2GB:Mostly used in budget tablet designs. You’ll want more in a laptop or desktop.
• 4GB: Typically installed in budget notebooks. This is fine for basic Windows and Chrome OS usage, but little beyond that.
• 8GB: Excellent for Windows and MacOS systems. It’s good for entry-level gaming, too.
• 16GB: This is the sweet spot for desktop users. It’s ideal for professional work and more demanding games.
• 32GB and more: For enthusiasts and purpose-built workstations only. Serious gamers, engineers, professional A/V editors, and similar types need to start here and go higher if needed.

Remember, buying more RAM than you need doesn’t net you any performance benefit — it’s effectively wasted money. Buy what you actually need, and spend the remaining budget on more important components like the CPU or graphics card.
