The newer your computer is the more memory it will have available. Purchasing newer memory modules will be more expensive. Older computers are more likely to be more cheaper. The only downside is how much memory can be installed. You will have to ask yourself whether it’s worth it to upgrade your ram now or later or if you even need to do so. Now if you aren’t running demanding programs then you may not need to upgrade.

Computer Information number 3: 

If you decide to purchase more memory always shop around for the best price.  To prevent yourself from spending more money than what you should have.

Below is a brief over of what memory/ram is.

Random Access Memory (RAM) is a computer storage location that allows information to be stored and accessed quickly from random locations within DRAM on a memory module. Because information is accessed randomly instead of sequentially like a CD or hard drive the computer is able to access the data much faster than it would if it was only reading the hard drive.

RAM is a volatile memory and requires power in order to keep the data accessible, if power is lost all data contained in memory lost.

PC Info – Computer repair tip number 3:

Perhaps one of the most important steps is location, location, location.  I’m sure you’ve heard of this saying in regards to starting a business but the same applies to computers. A few things to consider when deciding on a location for storing your files.

1. Make sure you are storing your files in a place were you will always remember where it is located. There wouldn’t be anything worse than storing important documents in a location that you wouldn’t remember.

2. Second is this location secure from unauthorized users who may accidentally cause harm to my

files or documents. Always make sure your files aren’t where anyone can have direct access to them.

3. Once your files are in proper order always make sure you make a backup copy of your work because the worst thing next to losing your data is to do all the organization all over again.

4. The same steps would apply if your files are on a network.

Failure to do so will result in problems occurring in the near future. So always be aware of what you’re doing on your computer. I know sometimes unexpected issues occur when we you least expect it. Sometimes you may not have a choice but to shut down your computer. For example an instance of your computer stalls from installing updates.

If this resolves your problem, you may have a defective surge protector or UPS. In the case of the UPS, there may be other issues, such as a UPS overload or UPS drivers, reporting bad power situations that cause your computer to shutdown. Make sure there are not too many devices connected to your UPS and that it has the latest software updates.
