Do you want your computer to run faster? Then it may be time to upgrade your memory! Sweetwater carries a selection of the best RAM out there at the best prices. But picking out a RAM card for your needs can be daunting, so here is some information to help you make the right choice.
RAM essentially determines how fast your device can work. Everything from browsing the internet to working with various software uses RAM, so the speed and amount of memory you have makes a huge difference in the performance of your computer. Upgrading the memory in your device is a simple and effective way to get the most out of its capabilities.
How much memory do you need? In general, when upgrading memory, most people simply choose to double it. This is a surefire way to ensure you'll have ample speed to work with. Many programs today are memory drains, so it is important to upgrade your RAM as you work with bigger, more powerful apps. Do you simply want to do basic operations such as listening to music? Then up to 2GB of RAM is plenty. On the other hand, if you need to multitask, run simple graphics programs or watch videos, up to 4GB will do the trick. For power users who want to be able to edit videos and audio along with some intensive multitasking, grab RAM with at least 8GB. Professional users who want to do multimedia editing and work with high-performance programs should look for RAM over 8GB. At Sweetwater, we carry memory units from 2GB to 16GB. You can almost never have too much RAM, so aim higher than your predicted needs. This way you'll have peace of mind and you'll know for sure that your computer won't crash during an important performance or recording session.
If you want your chosen RAM to work with your computer, you need to make sure they are compatible. Firstly, the card needs to fit into your motherboard, so before making a purchase, check and see if there are any empty slots. Your motherboard is most likely compatible with only one type. To find out what type that is, look at your user manual or on the manufacturer's website. The types available at Sweetwater include SDR, DDR, DDR2, DDR3 and DDR4.
Getting new RAM for your computer will enable you to work faster, be more efficient, and enjoy peace of mind. So when upgrading your memory, just make sure your RAM is compatible with your device and that it allows for enough speed and capacity for you to do your work efficiently.
