If you have less than 4GB of system RAM move it to the top of your upgrade list. System RAM is inexpensive so it won't break your budget. If you plan on upgrading it is recommended you buy a dual-channel kit, which is simply a package with two identical memory modules, if your motherboard supports it. Dual-channel is faster and more efficient than running single modules. Consult your motherboards list of supported models before purchase, which can often limit your choices. If you motherboard doesn't support at least DDR2 modules, you might consider upgrading your board to support the newer, faster architectures like DDR3. | If you have less than 4GB of system RAM move it to the top of your upgrade list.

'' | For laptop users, all the information above applies to you as well. The only difference is, you can't upgrade your motherboard to support faster RAM architectures. Also, the cost of being mobile isn't cheap as you should, unfortunately, expect to pay 40% to 60% more for laptop memory. | ||
