Latest RAM Configuration

Are you interested in purchasing laptop or computer. Then the first thing that comes to your mind is the hardware configuration. which RAM is suitable for your laptop configuration and which is best suitable for your laptop.

RAM configuration for laptop or computer

Now a days we have the latest RAM’s coming into the market. RAM’s are DDR1,DDR2,DDR3. I went through some articles around and got some information regarding these.
Typically you want to have more RAM than the highest minimum and ideally at least as much as the highest listed recommended requirement. The following chart provides a general idea of how a system will run with various amounts of memory:

* Minimum: 1GB
* Optimal: 2GB
* Best: 4GB

Many laptops also use integrated graphics controllers that use a portion of the general system RAM for the graphics. This can reduce the amount of available system RAM from 64 to 512MB depending upon the graphics controller. If the system is using an integrated graphics controller it is best to get a bit more memory to compensate for this.

For Memory description is concerned,
There are two ways that the memory speeds can be designated. The first is by the memory type and its clock rating, like DDR2 400. The other method is by listing the type along with the bandwidth. In the case the same DDR2 memory would be listed as PC2-3200 memory. Below is a listing in order of lowest to fastest memory types in both formats:

* DDR2 400 / PC2-3200
* DDR2 533 / PC2-4200
* DDR2 667 / PC2-5300 or PC2-5400
* DDR2 800 / PC2-6400
* DDR3 800 / PC3-6400
* DDR3 1066 / PC3-8500
* DDR3 1333 / PC3-10600
* DDR3 1600 / PC3-12800
