Advantages: Super Fast Disadvantages: A bit expencive for an average system!
I purchased the OCZ 2gb (2 x 1gb) Platinum ram when i revamped my PC. What a difference it makes! I have never been able to open so many applications, and switch between them so quickly.
The installation was very quick. One complication though. Although the packet does not tell you, the ram runs at 2.2 volts, not 1.8 which computer are default set to. This is because the ram is designed for gaming, and so is more power hungry. If the voltage is not changed the ram will not run as quickly, and there will be no point buying the ram. To adjust the voltage is easy, just enter into the bios settings of the motherboard, buy clicking one of the F buttons while the computer loads up. Then navigate to the hardware section, and select ram voltage and adjust it to +0.4v and save the settings. I have a Gigabyte motherboard, and it is very ...
Advantages: Cheap and easy way to boast your PC speed Disadvantages: Can be a little delicate in the wrong hands
-line shopping site giving the best deal, so I decided to buy two of the 2GB Kingston Value RAM modules as they gave the same specifications as many others, only these were more than half the price?which is a real godsend in these downtrodden times.
** The module specifications?
* 2GB
* PC2-5300
* DDR2 SDRAM
* 667MHz
* SO DIMM 200 pin
* Non-EEC
* Unbuffered
* 1.8V supply
* Gold lead plating.
* 1.181 inch high
I could ?pad? this review out with what some technical stuff about what the specs mean, like what EEC stands for and what unbuffered does, but that would be pointless and a bit boring really so I wont, (plus, people may think I was just showing off). But as long as the specs on your new RAM match the specs on you installed Ram tehn your laughing.
** IN CONCLUSION?
What can you say about any memory module ...
Advantages: Good price, prompt delivery, and "fairly" easy to install Disadvantages: No written instructions with product & didn't fit in first slot
Bit of an intro (bear with me) I have recently (obviously) bought Windows 7 as part of the Ultimate Steal for students (even though I'm only part time student), before you purchase it is recommended that you download and run the upgrade advisor for this product to ensure your system is tickety boo. I did this and the recommendation was I needed more RAM (story of my life). I dusted off the product information I got with this PC and blah blah blah I went to their website where after scrabbling on the floor to look for serial numbers it brought up an option to buy RAM - but said it needed to know lots of things about my PC (even though I'd given the serial number). Feeling abit confused.com I decided to ask about at work.
