WHY MORE MEMORY IS BETTER!

.:Back To PC Repair:.

Has your old computer lost its get up and go? Or perhaps you've just invested in a brand new Kick A$$ PC and you're thinking life is good… until your son tries his role-playing game over the Net, or goes to that cheat site to find the latest hacks, or you want to open four applications at once. You find that the animation just isn't quick enough, and neither is your multitasking. "But I have a new computer," you say. "It should be lightning fast!" Just because you have the latest, doesn't mean it's the greatest. In terms of performance, you have to look at a number of factors. Great news! Help is easy and relatively inexpensive: upgrade the memory

Upgrading your computer's memory (RAM) is one of the quickest, most efficient and most cost-effective ways to boost performance. Many new computers come with only a bare minimum of memory installed. Adding more RAM can add more zip to your system. And installation is not that complicated. Sometimes getting the case open takes more time than installing the actual RAM itself. However, if you are not familiar with this…”DO NOT” open up your case and attempt to do this. You can damage a lot of components inside your PC. Just a small static discharge from your finger tip can destroy a processor or and already existing memory chip. When in doubt, pay some one to do it for you.

How much memory is enough? An average computer user is probably okay with the basic 256MB to 512MB of RAM. But as fast as technology changes, so will your need for additional memory. Just remember: more is better. 256MB is what most average users need. But if you're looking to make your processor really work for you — like for high-end applications, intense gaming and multimedia work — upgrade to even more RAM. You'll notice a significant performance gain all around.

Take a glance at what a memory upgrade can do for you:

Smoother Multitasking
Do you like to have your charts and e-mail, too? Do you open several programs at the same time and switch between them frequently — and does your current PC moan and groan when you do? Then a memory upgrade is essential for smooth, effortless multitasking. It gives your computer an extra boost so it doesn't have to use the hard drive to manage data.

Faster Web surfing
Are you a surf-aholic? If you like to spend countless hours on the Internet, but don't like when your system slows to a crawl, you'll want to add RAM. No matter how fast your Internet connection is, a memory upgrade can help your browser display pages faster. When your computer can store more data in RAM, it has to swap out less memory to the hard drive. Web sites use rotating banners, Flash and Shockwave animation, streaming audio and other plug-ins as dazzling effects to entice visitors. A simple, but reliable memory upgrade can give your computer the zip it needs for today's browsing.

More efficient video editing
If the video-editing bug has bitten, you'll want to add RAM. Editing is fun — or can be if it's not too slow. Because video files are very large, you'll not only need a big hard drive to store the file, but a quick processor and lots of RAM help speed things up. Video editing software like iMovie and Adobe Premiere typically recommend 64MB of RAM, but once again, more is better. 512MB or more should have you editing without waiting for your computer's hard drive to catch up but I would recommend a minimum of 1Gigabyte of RAM for any type of video editing.

Optimized Windows XP processing
Microsoft's Windows XP is power-packed with enhanced multimedia, gaming and Internet capabilities. It's touted as faster, easier to use and better for remote computing. What's not to like? So take full advantage of all the incredible features by optimizing the performance with a RAM upgrade

Windows XP ready-labeled computers must meet minimum hardware requirements for the software. But meeting these requirements does not ensure the system is configured for maximum performance with Windows XP. Typically, just meeting minimum requirements for software means minimum performance. Like I said before…more is always better. You'll need at least 256MB, but 512MB is the minimum recommendation. For the optimal Windows XP experience load up on RAM.

Spectacular gaming
A new graphics card is nice, but it isn't enough for today's cutting edge online gaming experience. Revolutionize your 3D gaming by adding more memory. Added RAM supports color at higher resolutions and gives you the power for enhanced 3D rendering, with amazing character realism and texture versatility. Enjoy crisper, brighter images and faster 3D video and animation for a powerful, virtually realistic gaming experience.

Enhanced multimedia presentations
Intensive graphics presentations memory-laden programs, such as multimedia, publishing and graphics arts, demand more RAM for the optimal computing experience. Flash and ROM take up a lot of space. You're going to need at least 256MB, with 512MB or more needed for best performance. Once again, more is better. The applications respond much quicker with faster and image drawing is almost instant.

Efficient networking
A memory upgrade is essential for efficient networking. The server as well as individual PCs can be upgraded to lend more benefits for everyone.
