The Importance Of RAM In Computer Gaming: RAM 101

July 29th, 2008 admin Posted in RAM No Comments »

RAM is a very essential component of your gaming system. When the computer first boots up, the operating system loads data from a storage drive into the RAM. When ever the system needs information, it refers to the RAM to retrieve the data it requires. Since RAM has the ability to process data much faster than any other form of storage media, its presence allows the computer to perform more efficiently.

Memory Size
A bigger memory size will enable your system to hold more data, meaning it can access data much faster. A system that receives an upgrade from 128MB RAM to 256MB RAM will show drastic improvement in regard to performance. A computer dedicated to video games requires at least 512MB of RAM in order to enjoy a smooth gaming experience.

RAM Options

DDR RAM is the standard type of RAM for game play. It has the ability to process data two time faster than SDRAM which is no longer recommended. The speed of this RAM is classified as the following: DDR200/PC1600, DDR266/PC2100, DDR333/PC2700 and DDR400/PC3200. DDR400 is currently the fastest of DDR RAM and is the preferred choice for many computer gamers.
