As we’ve explained, the easiest way to make your computer faster is to add RAM. It also is the most affordable way to make your computer run faster. The Apacer 1GB DDR3 1333MHZ DIMM PC3-10600 RAM costs only R94. 

When should you consider more RAM? When you’re computer is sluggish, videos take forever to process, your 3G modem seems to hang, programmes take long to open.

There are so many irritations that can be fixed just by adding RAM. Which makes R94 a worthwhile investment.

What type of RAM does my computer take?

First, see the article The Maximum RAM you can use on Windows 7 and Windows 8 (the link opens in a new window). Make sure which version of Windows you use. Check if it is the 32-bit or the 64-bit version of Windows 7 or Windows 8.

We stock DDR1, DDR2, DDR3 and laptop RAM, with sizes ranging from 512MB to 16GB. If you’re not sure what type of RAM your computer takes, give Essential IT Solutions a call on 021 853 4790.
