How To Speed Up Your PC
By Newsdesk | February 27, 2008
Your computer is a delicate device that is very complex. Most people never truly understand how the machine works and what it is capable of doing. It handles so much information and at such a lightening fast rate. You can make it faster though. It can be your own version of the Bionic Woman. With an upgraded memory module, your desktop memory can be bigger, faster and stronger. You will be amazed at the difference.
Here are two terms you will hear used often when talking about a memory module and it refers to the capabilities of each one. The first is a DIMM which are Dual In Line Memory Modules. A SIMM is Single In-line Memory Modules. The faster a computer or CPU can access the information by keeping memory in a cache, the quicker the machine actually is and will perform.
The DIMM is used for a RAM, or a Random Access Memory upgrade. Desktop computers and notebooks need this RAM and is one of the easiest and cheapest ways to increase your memory. But you will need to know a few things before you can do the upgrade. First, a SIMM uses a 32 bit data path, whereas a DIMM uses a 64 bit data path. Initially, the DIMM is still the faster unit to have running.
