Memory 'Buy' The Numbers

[AlbertPacino]

In this article I will start with the basics of how computer memory works, what kinds of computer memory is available, and some general recommendations on how much you should need. While I can’t possibly go over all possible scenarios and types of memory out there, by the time you have read this article you should hopefully be able to fill in the gaps, and make decisions on your own.

Computers, like people, are worthless without good memory (except of course politicians, they seem to thrive on a lack of memory… but I digress). However, if you are like most computer users, you may be confused at not only how much memory your computer needs, but what kind it needs? In this article I will start with the basics of how computer memory works (don’t worry you won’t need to be an electrical engineer to understand it), what kinds of computer memory are available, and some general recommendations on how much you should need. While I can’t possibly go over all possible scenarios and types of memory out there, by the time you have read this article you should hopefully be able to fill in the gaps, and make decisions on your own.
