Advantages: Cheap, big boost
Disadvantages: none

...I got some more RAM for my PC the other day, and in the fashion that I do, I though't I'd write an op on it. But how do you make an opinion on RAM good? How do I manage to write a good op on RAM. It's pretty boring really, doesn't do much and I could quite easily write a tiny short and useless op on it. But I won't, because in the time it's taken me to write this exceptionally meaningless introduction I don't want to waste it!! For anyone who doesn't know, RAM at the moment is dirt cheap. Infact prices are silly. 3 months ago RAM was cheap, but now its about half the price again as it was then. It won't last though, something has to give. RAM manufacturers are already reporting that they are losing money, so buy now while prices are still good. First of, what is RAM? Random Access Memory is the long version of the name, and it...

...said my GF last night... here is my opinion on: Upgrading a computer by buying more ram What is Ram? A quick explanation ********************************* RAM = Random Access Memory.

Advantages: Excellent value, 2GB, matched memory
Disadvantages: Not for overclockers.

...The Kingston 2GB DDR2 RAM is a great way to purchase all the RAM you will currently need for games and Microsoft's latest operating system Windows Vista. Installing extra memory into your PC is the best way of increasing performance for very little money, if you are currently running 1GB and are on Windows XP you may want to stick unless you play demanding games. If you have Windows Vista you and only have 1GB or less of memory you will definitely want to upgrade as Vista is a demanding operating system and easily consumes 1GB of RAM with just a few basic programs running. If you have an AMD Athlon X2 or Intel Core2 Duo processor you will want to take advantage of your powerful hardware by matching it up with atleast 2GB of RAM. In the box you will get two 1GB sticks of matched DDR2 memory, matched means that they are capable... Read review
