RAM is a short-term data storage. This component determining the operation speed:
- allows the CPU of your computer to have fast access to the information that needs to be processed used by the computer application which you have opened;
- at the moment of opening an application stores it in its microchips, thus the memory capacity determines how many applications can be run by your computer simultaneously and also with how big data volume (pictures, texts, webpages) you can operate at once.
Thanks to the dense placement of chipsets the RAM of a portable computer has the same characteristics as the RAM of desktop computers. TopPC.fi recommends to use 3Gb or higher capacity RAM for general use.
