Upgrade your system with promemory

Computer is using for various purpose such as gaming, applications and entertainment, but one thing is that it needs to have more memory for better result.

RAM (Random Access Memory) is playing vital role in computer system. As a name it is used for accessing data randomly. More RAM size means more system speed. Now day’s peoples are mostly recommending more than 1GB RAM. RAM is volatile memory. Another function of RAM is to store data temporarily.

Now in market DDR, DDR1 and DDR3 memories are available, which are faster memory speed. So you can select proper type of memory and you can upgrade it.

Do you know about Pro memory upgrade? It is proving Dell memory upgrade as well as other well known computer brands memory upgrades. If you have branded computer such as like dell or any other, so you can upgrade your system with pro memory. You can do Dell memory upgrades for Dell PowerEdge Memory, Dell Dimension Memory and others.

I have found one good website for promemory upgrade. It is providing complete help to you for upgrading your Desktop, Laptop, Servers and many more. You can also see the procedures of upgrading memory on the video format. So hurry and check it out.

Types of Motherboard and RAM

Types of Motherboard

1) AT Motherboard

The first type of motherboard is AT motherboard. The AT motherboard is 12 inches wide and 11 inches long. The AT is having a problem with accessing some of the items on the motherboard because the drive bays hung over the motherboard. Due to this situation installation and troubleshooting of the components on the motherboard very difficult. Other problem with the layout of the AT board is the expansion cards, once inserted into the systems, it covers the processor. This situation led to cooling problems due to the fact that ventilation was insufficient to keep the chip from overheating.

2)ATX Motherboard

In 1995, Intel introduced a system board that would be used to support the Pentium II processor and new AGP slot, so the ATX form factor was built. The ATX board is 7.5 inches wide and 12 inches long and has all the IO ports integrated directly into the board, including USB ports. The ATX board introduced a 100 MHz system bus. The ATX board system could be shut down by the operating system. In ATX motherboard any cards inserted into the bus architectures would not cover the processor and prevent proper cooling.

Types of RAM

SDRAM(Synchronous DRAM)

All systems used to ship with 3.3 volt, 168-pin SDRAM DIMMs. SDRAM is a new type of DRAM altogether. SDRAM started out running at 66 MHz, while older fast page mode DRAM max out at 50 MHz. SDRAM is able to scale to 133 MHz (PC133) officially, and unofficially up to 180MHz or higher. As processors get faster, new generations of memory such as DDR and RDRAM are required to get proper performance.

DDR (Double Data Rate SDRAM)

DDR basically doubles the rate of data transfer of standard SDRAM by transferring data on the up and down tick of a clock cycle. DDR memory operating at 333MHz actually operates at 166MHz * 2 (PC333 / PC2700) or 133MHz*2 (PC266 / PC2100). DDR is a 2.5 volt technology that uses 184 pins in its DIMMs. It is incompatible with SDRAM physically, but uses a similar parallel bus, making it easier to implement than RDRAM, which is a different technology.

Rambus DRAM (RDRAM)

It is higher price, Intel has given RDRAM it's blessing for the consumer market, and it will be the sole choice of memory for Intel's Pentium 4. RDRAM is a serial memory technology that arrived in three flavors, PC600, PC700, and PC800. PC800 RDRAM has doubled the maximum throughput of old PC100 SDRAM, but a higher latency.

DIMMs and RIMMs
DRAM comes in two major form factors:

DIMMs are 64-bit components, but if used in a motherboard with a dual-channel configuration (like with an Nvidia nForce chipset) you must pair them to get maximum performance. So far there aren't many DDR chipset that use dual-channels. Typically, if you want to add 512 MB of DIMM memory to your machine, you just insert a 512 MB DIMM if you've got an available slot. DIMMs for SDRAM and DDR are different, and not physically compatible. SDRAM DIMMs have 168-pins and run at 3.3 volts, while DDR DIMMs have 184-pins and run at 2.5 volts.

RIMMs use only a 16-bit interface but run at higher speeds than DDR. To get maximum performance, Intel RDRAM chipsets require the use of RIMMs in pairs over a dual-channel 32-bit interface.
