Memory (RAM) - DDR

Random Access Memory (RAM) provides space for your computer to read and write data to be accessed by the CPU (central processing unit). When people refer to a computer's memory, they usually mean its RAM.

If more RAM is added to the computer, you reduce the number of times the CPU must read data from the hard drive. This will allow the computer to work faster especially when many applications are open at once.

DDR1 memory runs at a maximum transfer speed of 3200MB/s and is denoted by the PC-" " tag. The maximum capacity of 1GB (1024MB) per stick. Since most computers have multiple slots, these sticks can be used together to give even more memory.

DDR1 memory is most popular in older systems and has a maximum clock speed of 400 MHz.

Memory module compatibility depends on the motherboard and what kind of memory it can support. Please check your motherboard/system manual before purchasing.
