Things to be taken care while buying computer memory

Memory is such a central issue with the computers that 512MB RAM memory manufacturers

want to throw some light on the whole issue in order to enlighten the users about the purchasing computers with such memory. They believe that most of the retailers and distributors are always trying to cut corners when it comes to memory issues in the PC. There are many manufacturers who might show some glamorous deals, saying that they would provide 512MB of RAM at the price of 256MB. For people who are illiterate about intricate hardware functionalities might simply be impressed by the deal, however the truth is that what might seem to be an added incentive for the system could actually not be that fancy.

The dealers could be talking of shared memory, which means that the memory of the graphic card has been compromised in ten cover of free computer memory. As a result PC has to do double duty shift to work as a memory for the computer as well as do the needful for the graphic card as well. So what the dealers have actually done is that instead of providing a decent video card they have compromised on the quality of the same and at the same time triggered off the RAM, which would actually have to give one eighth of its capacity to the display card in order to increase its working. So actually speaking this is no deal at all. Now this kind of scenario is not there just for any one particular type of dealer or brand of computer, this is the general scenario with all the computer dealers.

Here is an experience that has been shared by one of our users regarding Laptops;

Youth have taken a fancy to computers! From business to studies, from chatting to dating, from money to military and from health to games – the world has been made completely digital with a keyboard & few memory chips. Though I am not much interested in this digital showbiz but being fanatic about this hi-tech assembly, I was willing to purchase a new laptop.

Usually, laptops cost almost twice as much as the desktops. But contrary to this, there are some limitations with desktops. While going for the market survey, those issues were my priority concerns to look in. The main reason to buy a laptop was, of course, portability. Being a professional in the media industry, I need to carry my data and news facts everytime I travel from one place to another and even from home to office or vice-versa. I also came to know that my laptop’s configuration could also be upgraded with its USB, USB 2.0 and Firewire ports. Apart from that, being a serious game lover – I was seeking a platform that could run a number of high-definition games.

Willing to go for the latest technology, I noted down some features to look in. These were: a high RAM (Random Access Memory – system memory), long lasting batteries, a larger hard drive, CD-RW / DVD-RW, wireless LAN / Wi-Fi compatibility and premium screen resolution.

Finally, I picked HP Pavilion DV4-1502 from an authentic showroom. This 14.1″ inch WXGA HD display lapi comes with genuine Windows 7 Home Premium, and is clubbed with Intel Core 2 Duo T6600 Processor (2.2 GHz, 2MB cache). It also has features like Intel GMA 4500 Graphics, 4GB DDR3 RAM, 320Gb Hard Disk, DVD writer, WLAN 802.11 b/g, inbuilt Bluetooth, inbuilt webcam & microphone, integrated fingerprint reader and 6-cell Lithium-Ion (Li-Ion) battery.

Additional features like Nvidia Graphic card (for hi-resolution gaming experience), Altec Lansing Stereo speakers and 5-in-1 integrated digital media reader also add to the beauty of the product. It is one such product that stole away my soul at first sight.
