 MEMORY dimmsimm BASICS One of the best ways to increase the performance of your computer system is by adding more memory. With additional memory, you can have more programs running at the same time, and work on larger business files like spreadsheets and databases. Easily installed, RAM chips can speed up graphics applications, multimedia and, especially, games. HOW IT WORKS Before information can be processed by a computer, it must first be transferred to a special data storage area called RAM (Random Access Memory). RAM is connected directly to the processor by high speed data pathways. As long as your data is in RAM, the computer''s processor has almost instantaneous access to it. When the processor needs information that is not currently in RAM, it must be loaded dimmsimm from the hard drive and placed in RAM, a much slower process. So the more RAM you have, the higher your system''s overall performance. DIMMs (Dual Inline Memory Modules) look a lot dimmsimm like SIMMs, but they come in a 168-pin format. They are usually a faster and higher-performance memory than SIMMs, and are used in Pentium PCs. They come in capacities ranging from up to 64MB and beyond. Step 4: Parity Versus Non-Parity dimmsimm and dimmsimm Chips A SIMM or DIMM usually has nine chips of memory on it. Eight dimmsimm of those chips are used for the memory itself. The ninth chip is called a parity chip. The parity chip is used for error checking, to make sure that dimmsimm the other chips aren''t making any errors. Some computer systems require parity chips, while others do not. In general, Pentium-based computers and certain 486s dimmsimm don''t require parity memory. Parity memory usually costs more than non-parity memory. Check your PC or motherboard''s manual to see which kind of memory your PC requires.
