Memory and solid state drive upgrades for PCs are lifesavers in our fast-developing online environment. Today's more sophisticated and powerful software programs and internet websites use more and more of your system's Random Access Memory (RAM) and as a result, a computer that was sufficiently fast just a few years ago may have become significantly slower today.
Solid state drives (SSDs) are much faster than mechanical hard disk drives (HDDs) because they contain no moving parts. All data flow is done through microchips. Data flow rates can be up to six times faster with an SSD. They also use far less power than original HDDs, so having one installed in your laptop could extend your battery life.
Now, what exactly is RAM and why is it important for your computer? Why, I'm glad that you asked.
In a nutshell, every time a PC loads or opens a program, a file, a video, a picture, etc, the central processing unit sends this information into the computer's RAM. The more a computer has installed, the faster that information is processed.
Pretty much all PCs in today's market utilize what's called 64-bit architecture and come with between 8/12GB of RAM installed, but their motherboards can actually utilize up to 16/32GB. So as you can see, you're already at a serious disadvantage right out of the gate! Adding more to a PC will produce much faster responses, thus saving you time and aggravation (and maybe some money, too?). Makes sense, does it not?
High-capacity data applications along with more powerful and sophisticated software programs and websites not only influence the speed of your PC, but they can also lead to lockups (freezing) and the constant need to reboot. To tackle these issues, Upper Cape Cod PC Services can help you decide how much more RAM your PC would require to bring it up to its peak performance.
