RAM Description:
A standard "module" or "stick" of desktop memory is long, thin and resembles a short ruler. The bottom of the memory module has one or more notches to guide for proper installation and is lined with numerous, usually gold-plated connectors.
Memory is installed in memory module slots located on motherboard. These slots are easily locatable by looking for the small hinges on either side that lock the memory in place. Certain sizes of modules may need to be installed in certain slots so always check with your motherboard manufacturer before purchase or installation.
Memory modules come with various storage capabilities. Modern memory modules can be purchased in 256MB, 512MB, 1GB, 2GB, 4GB, and 8GB sizes.
Currently RAM is measured in megabytes and gigabytes. A typical computer system will have from 256MB to 4MB installed. The general rule of thumb is that the more memory you have installed the faster the system will be.
Most modern computer systems have the capacity for more RAM to be added up to a maximum. The maximum allowed and the particular type and specification of the RAM will be found in the manual for the motherboard.
