Hi all! Have no idea how to find out the RAM on a computer or laptop? - such a moment probably occurs for almost every user, because as everyone knows - random access memory there can never be too much. However, before jumping to hasty conclusions, we need to find out what we are already working with, and then take further steps to upgrade or optimize.
Since we're talking about upgrading, I think we'll look at this issue today in more detail than usual, because the question of how to look at random access memory (RAM) usually arises when there is a burning desire to add a couple of dies and forget about system slowdowns and constant messages about shortages virtual memory.
The question of how to look at RAM can be perceived in different ways, so in the first part of the note we will look at ways to find out its physical volume, and in the second, using third-party utilities, we will find out what we are dealing with and whether it is possible to expand it.
Finding out the amount of RAM is quite simple - for this it is quite enough standard means operating system, that's why we'll use various programs only for more detailed analysis
Where can I see the amount of RAM on my computer?
Stop dragging the cat for the inevitable - let's go over the options for determining the RAM. I am not a supporter of methods where you have to open it up at every opportunity. system unit and try to figure out what and where (those who really understand will look without this manual - beginners, in turn, can harm their electric friend).
Method 1. System properties
Most the simplest way To find out the amount of RAM in the system is to open the computer properties and look at the necessary information. Click right click Click on the “This PC” icon and select “Properties” from the menu that appears. In line " Installed memory(RAM)” and will be the amount of your RAM.
Sometimes it happens that there is less available memory than there is in the system (this is exactly what we will be told in the system properties). Most likely, part of the RAM was taken by the video card for its needs (if it is built-in) or there is a 32-bit operating system and the amount of RAM in the system is more than 4 GB
Method 2: Command Line
The next method is related to the command line, if you don’t know how to run it, then read about. By the way, many users appreciated the command line method - so the command line is the most alive of all living things, despite pop the system interface and the habit of doing everything with just the mouse. Open the command line and enter:
Systeminfo
All you have to do is wait until the report is prepared and in the line “Total amount of RAM” there will be the amount of RAM in megabytes (don't forget that 1 GB is 1024 megabytes)
You can see the line below “Virtual memory” - this is the area on the hard drive into which the background processes, if there is not enough RAM. You understand that the difference in performance between RAM and HDD is tenfold... the less we use virtual memory (swap file), the more responsive our system is
Method 3: DirectX Diagnostic Tool
The last method in today's instructions is to view the amount of RAM through the DirectX Diagnostic Tool. Run the “Run” task (called by the WIN + R key combination or type the same command in command line) and enter
Wait until DirectX collects all necessary information about the computer and on the “System” tab in the “Memory” line, information about the amount of installed RAM in the computer is displayed.
As you can see, there are no problems with determining the volume, but when there is a need to find out more detailed information about our RAM (for example, whose production of the memory module is, its size and type) - third-party utilities are used
Where to look at your computer's RAM
Let's move on to the most interesting part - let's determine what RAM is installed in our computer (in which slots it is located, whose manufacturer it is, and much more). Unfortunately using standard methods It's impossible to find out, but many of the utilities on the list have portable versions and do not require installation.
Method 1: CPU-Z
We have already used this application in, but there I mentioned that it is worth taking a closer look at the functionality of CPU-Z. First you need to download the application itself, as we always use portable version from the official website
We launch CPU-Z and go to the “SPD” tab; in the “Memory Slot Selection” block we can display information about which slot is in it. Accordingly, we can check how many RAM slots are in the computer, which of them are occupied, and full information about modules installed in specific slots. So answer me one simple question - why do we need to disassemble the computer?
As you can see, my work computer has 8 gigabytes of RAM with one Hyundai DDR3-12800 stick in the third slot. The other three are free, I don’t see any point in taking a screenshot of them - there’s no information there
Method 2. AIDA64
Unfortunately, the application is paid and the trial version does not reveal all the information, but we can find out some of the RAM parameters. On the left side of AIDA go to “ Motherboard" - "SPD" and on the right side of the application we will see the layout of the slots on the motherboard. Although not all information is available to us, we can see the volume of the module and its frequency characteristics...as a rule, this is enough in most cases.
This application is inferior to all those presented only in demo mode - who knows, maybe you have full version and you will have no disadvantages in hiding the necessary information
Method 3. Piriform Speccy
An excellent application that will tell you how to view the RAM on your computer. But, unfortunately, it does not have a portable version and requires mandatory installation on a computer to run. You can download it from the official website (there is a light version, we used it in the article - it’s free)
After launch, wait until Speccy collects all the necessary information about your computer and select “RAM” on the left side. On the right side of the utility will draw a visual report of what and where we have installed. This is probably the most convenient way determine the RAM on your PC.
Method 4. HWiNFO
We smoothly complete the review of applications for determining RAM on a computer. Next up we have a good HWiNFO utility that will help us in difficult work. There are several versions of HWiNFO (for 32 and 64 bit versions of Windows)... if you don't know which version you have, then download HWiNFO32 - you can't go wrong. Traditionally, I recommend the portable version - I don’t like installing programs that are needed only once.
After launching, you will have to wait a little while the program collects all possible information about your computer. After the download is complete, the “System Summary” window will open, where the “Memory Modules” block will display detailed information about everyone installed modules random access memory.
From the screenshot it may seem that the module is installed in the second slot, but this is not the case. In HWiNFO, the numbering of RAM slots starts from zero, and not from one as we are all used to - pay attention to this
How to increase RAM without problems? — unfortunately, when you add another stick of RAM, there is no guarantee that it will work in tandem with yours. As a rule, it is almost impossible to find an identical one, but the risk of conflict can be reduced by selecting an identical module according to technical characteristics (volume, frequency and density/number of chips).
Ideally, agree with the seller to exchange the memory module if it does not suit you, or bring your computer or laptop to them to check everything on the spot. It happened that the memory began to work incorrectly not immediately, but after a couple of minutes... so successful launch BIOS does not indicate the success of the upgrade
RAM on a computer. Review of information and results
The time has come to sum up, we solved the question “how to find out the RAM on a computer” in more than one way and used it in our work as Windows tools, as well as third-party utilities like CPU-Z or AIDA64. In fact, there are many more methods and nuances - this instruction is basic and will more than cover the needs of the average computer or laptop user.
Hello, friends! In this article, we tried to answer many of your questions regarding RAM. ? How can I find out what RAM I have installed and how much? How to choose the right RAM for your computer. How do you know if your RAM is working in dual channel mode or not? What is better to buy, one 8GB DDR3 memory stick or two 4GB sticks each? And finally.
- If you are interested, or, also read our articles.
- Hello admin, one of my friends asks me to install more RAM. The computer properties show a capacity of 2 GB. We turned off the computer, opened the system unit, there was one stick of RAM, took it out, and there were no marks on it. Interestingly, it was not possible to determine the model motherboard. The computer was purchased a long time ago, so the question arose - how to find out the type of RAM it needs? After all, RAM differs in type, frequency and timing.
- Hi all! I wanted to buy additional RAM, I removed the cover of the system unit, took out the RAM stick and I can’t decipher the information written on it, it’s just written there serial number that's all. It is completely unclear at what frequency it operates and what type it is, DDR3 or DDR2. How to distinguish DDR3 from DDR2 memory, how do they differ in appearance?
- I have one stick of 4 GB DDR3-1600 RAM in the system unit, I want to install another stick, also 4 GB, but running at a higher frequency DDR3-1866. Will my computer work normally, and most importantly, in dual-channel mode?
My friend installed three RAM sticks of different sizes and frequencies into the system unit. Is this allowed? But what’s strange is that his computer works fine! - Tell me, how can I check whether my RAM works in dual-channel mode or not? And what conditions are needed for my memory to work in dual-channel mode. Same volume? Same frequency or same timings? How much faster does a computer run in dual-channel mode than in single-channel mode? They say that there is also a three-channel mode.
- What will work better, two sticks of 4 GB of RAM in dual-channel mode or one stick, but with a capacity of 8 GB, respectively, the memory mode will be single-channel?
To find out all the information about a RAM module, you need to carefully examine it; usually the manufacturer labels the RAM with the proper information about the frequency, volume and type of RAM. If there is no such information on the module, then you need to find out everything about the motherboard and the installed processor; sometimes this action turns into a whole investigation.
- Important Notes: Friends, do not forget that all new processors Intel Core i3, Intel Core i5, Intel Core i7 The RAM controller is located in the processor itself (previously it was controlled by the north bridge of the motherboard) and the memory modules are now directly controlled by the processor itself, the same applies to latest processors AMD.
- This means that it doesn't matter what RAM frequency your motherboard supports. It is important what RAM frequency your processor supports. If your computer has a processorIntel Core i3, Intel Core i5, Intel Core i7, then the officially supported memory standards of these processors: PC3-8500 (DDR3-1066 MHz), PC3-10600 (DDR3-1333 MHz), PC3-12800 (DDR3-1600 MHz), it is at these frequencies that your RAM will operate, even if the motherboard's passport indicates that the motherboard can work with RAM strips high frequency PC3-19200 (DDR3-2400 MHz).
- It's another matter if your processor has unlocked multiplier, that is, with the letter “K” at the end, for example CPU Intel Core i7-4770 K, 3.5 GHz. An unlocked multiplier means that in a computer with such a processor you can install memory sticks of the highest frequency, for example DDR3-1866 MHz or DDR3-2400 MHz, such a processor can be overclocked and during overclocking the RAM will operate at its frequency of 2400 MHz . If you install the RAM stick DDR3-1866 MHz or DDR3-2400 MHz into a computer with a conventional processor, that is, with locked multiplier without letter" K” at the end, for exampleIntel Core i7-3770, 3.9 GHz then such a bar will work at best at a frequency DDR3-1600 MHz, and in the worst case, the computer will not boot. Therefore, buy RAM that is suitable for your processor.
- Concerning processorsAMD recent years, then they work with memoryPC3-10600 (DDR3-1333 MHz).
Firstly, the RAM stick itself should contain all the information you are interested in, you just need to read it correctly. I don’t argue, there are memory strips that have practically nothing on them, but we can handle them too.
For example, let’s take a Hynix RAM stick, it has the following information: 4 GB PC3 – 12800.
What does the following mean:
firstly, the volume is 4 GB,
secondly, 1Rx8 - Rank - a memory area created by several or all chips of a memory module, 1Rx8 are single-sided memory ranks, and 2Rx8 are double-sided memory ranks.
As you can see, on this bar it is not written that it is DDR2 or DDR3, but it is indicated throughput PC3-12800. PC3 is a designation for peak bandwidth belonging only to the DDR3 type (for DDR2 RAM the designation will be PC2, for example PC2-6400).
This means that our Hynix RAM stick is DDR3 and has PC3-12800 bandwidth. If the bandwidth of 12800 is divided by eight and you get 1600. That is, this DDR3 memory stick operates at a frequency of 1600 MHz.
Read everything about DDR2 and DDR3 RAM on the website
http://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/DDR3 and everything will become clear to you.
Let's take another RAM module - Crucial 4GB DDR3 1333 (PC3 - 10600). This means the following: volume 4 GB, memory type DDR3, frequency 1333 MHz, PC3-10600 bandwidth is also indicated.
Manufacturer Patriot, capacity 1 GB, PC2 bandwidth – 6400. PC2 is a designation for peak bandwidth belonging only to the DDR2 type (for DDR3 RAM the designation will be PC3, for example PC3-12800). We divide the bandwidth of 6400 by eight and get 800. That is, this DDR2 memory stick operates at a frequency of 800 MHz.
One more plank- Kingston KHX6400D2 LL/1G
Manufacturer Kingston, bandwidth 6400, type DDR2, capacity 1 GB. We divide the bandwidth by 8, we get a frequency of 800 MHz.
But this stick of RAM has more important information
, it has a non-standard microcircuit supply voltage: 2.0 V - set manually in the BIOS.
RAM modules differ in the size of the contact pads and the location of the cutouts. Using a cutout, you will not be able to install a RAM module in a slot not intended for it. For example, you cannot install a DDR3 memory stick in a DDR2 slot.
Everything is clearly visible in this diagram.
Sometimes there will be no clear information on the RAM module other than the name of the module itself. But the module cannot be removed, since it is under warranty. But by the name you can understand what kind of memory it is. For example
Kingston KHX1600 C9D3 X2K2/8G X, all this means:
KHX 1600 -> RAM operates at 1600 MHz
C9 -> Timings (Delays) 9-9-9
D3 -> RAM type DDR3
8G X -> Volume 4 GB.
You can simply type the name of the module in search engines and you will find out all the information about it.
For example, information from the AIDA64 program about my RAM. Kingston HyperX RAM modules are installed in RAM slots 2 and 4, memory type DDR3, frequency 1600 MHz
DIMM2: Kingston HyperX KHX1600C9D3/4GX DDR3-1600 DDR3 SDRAM
DIMM4: Kingston HyperX KHX1600C9D3/4GX DDR3-1600 DDR3 SDRAM
Is it possible to install RAM sticks with different frequencies into a computer?
The RAM frequency does not have to be the same. The motherboard will set the frequency for all installed RAM sticks according to the slowest module. But I want to say that often a computer with brackets different frequencies works unstable.
Let's do a simple experiment. For example, let's take my computer, it has two identical Kingston HyperX RAM modules, memory type DDR3, frequency 1600 MHz.
If I run the AIDA64 program on my Windows 8, it will show the following information (see the following screenshot). That is, the program AIDA64 shows simple specifications each of the RAM sticks, in our case both sticks have a frequency1600 MHz. But the programAIDA64 does not show at what frequency the RAM modules are currently operating; this needs to be looked at in another program called CPU-Z.
If you launch a free CPU-Z program and go to the Memory tab, it will show you exactly what frequency your RAM sticks operate at. My memory works in dual channel Dual mode, frequency 800 MHz, since the memory is DDR3, its effective (double) speed is 1600 MHz. This means that my RAM sticks operate exactly at the frequency for which they are designed: 1600 MHz. But what will happen if next to your RAM strips operating at a frequency 1600 MHz I will set another bar with frequency 1333 MHz!?
Let's install an additional DDR3 memory stick in my system unit, operating at a lower frequency of 1333 MHz.
Let's look at what AIDA64 shows, the program shows that an additional 4 GB stick is installed, with a frequency of 1333 MHz.
Now let’s run the CPU-Z program and see at what frequency all three sticks operate. As we can see, the frequency is 668.7 MHz, since the memory is DDR3, its effective (double) speed is 1333 MHz.
That is, the motherboard automatically set the operating frequency of all RAM sticks to the slowest module at 1333 MHz.
It is not advisable to install RAM sticks in your computer with a frequency higher than what the motherboard supports. For example, if your motherboard supports a maximum RAM frequency of 1600 MHz, and you installed a RAM module operating at a frequency of 1866 on your computer, then in the best case, this module will operate at a lower frequency of 1600 MHz, and in the worst case, the module will operate at its frequency 1866 MHz, but the computer will periodically reboot itself or you will receive when you boot your computer blue screen, in this case you will have to enter the BIOS and manually set the RAM frequency to 1600 MHz.
Timings(signal delay) determine how often the processor can access RAM. If you have a quad-core processor and it has a large second-level cache, then too long timings are not a problem, since the processor accesses RAM less often. Is it possible to install RAM sticks with different timings in a computer? The timings also do not have to match. The motherboard will automatically set timings for all modules according to the slowest module.
What conditions are needed for my memory to work in dual-channel mode? Before buying RAM, you need to study as much information as possible about the motherboard. All information about your motherboard can be found in the manual that came with it upon purchase. If the manual is lost, you need to go to the official website of your motherboard. You will also find the article “How to find out the model and all information about your motherboard” useful.Most often these days there are motherboards that support the RAM operating modes described below. Dual Mode (two-channel mode, most common)– if you look closely at the motherboard, you can see that the RAM slots are painted in different colors. This was done on purpose and means that the motherboard supports dual-channel RAM operation. That is, two RAM modules with the same characteristics (frequency, timings) and the same volume are specially selected and installed in RAM slots of the same color.
If your computer has one stick of RAM installed, but the motherboard supports dual-channel mode, you can buy an additional stick of RAM of exactly the same frequency and capacity and install both sticks in DIMM slots of the same color.
Is there an advantage to dual channel mode over single channel mode?
At regular work On a computer you won't notice the difference, but when working in applications that actively use RAM, such as Adobe Premiere Pro(video editing), (Canopus) ProCoder (video encoding), Photoshop (working with images), games, you can feel the difference.
Note: Some motherboards will operate in dual-channel mode even if you install RAM modules of different sizes in the same color DIMM slots. For example, you will install a 512MB module in the first DIMM slot, and a 1GB stick in the third slot. The motherboard activates dual-channel mode for the entire volume of the first 512MB stick, and for the second stick (interestingly) also 512MB, and the remaining 512MB of the second stick will work in single-channel mode.
How do I know if my RAM is working in dual channel mode or not? Download the free CPU-Z program and go to the Memory tab, look at the Channel parameter in our case - Dual, which means the RAM operates in dual-channel mode. If the Channels parameter is Single, then the RAM operates in single-channel mode.
My opinion is that during normal work on a computer they will work the same, I personally didn’t notice much of a difference. I worked for a long time on a computer with one large stick of RAM and the performance was the same as on exactly the same computer with two sticks of RAM running in dual-channel mode. A survey of friends and acquaintances of system administrators confirmed me in this opinion. But when working with programs that actively use RAM, for example Adobe Premiere Pro, Canopus ProCoder, Photoshop, games, a computer with two sticks of RAM will work faster.
Of course it is possible, but not advisable. The computer will work more stable if it implements the RAM operating mode recommended in the motherboard datasheet. For example, two-channel mode.
IN system requirements For games or programs, there is the item “required RAM”. It is also called physical. This confuses many users.
But, if you look in more detail, its definition will not cause any difficulties.
There are many ways to find out the amount of RAM using internal operating system tools and third party programs. Let's look at the most popular and simple ones.
You can find out the amount of RAM installed on your computer through the control panel. You can open it from the Start menu. It can open in the form of categories with sub-items or many icons.
You can change the viewing type in the upper right corner of the window. There we select the “Small icons” option and go to the “System” shortcut. A window will open for you to view basic information about your PC.
In the image, the RAM value is highlighted in green.
A faster method to open this window is to right-click on the “Computer” shortcut on the desktop and select “Properties”.
The easiest way to learn about RAM is to open
Opening the window of basic computer information using the Win+Pause key combination.
Alternative methods for viewing the amount of RAM:
- Third party programs. The most popular is CPUID CPU-Z. It has a simple interface and high functionality.
- Task Manager. The “Performance” tab will indicate the amount of physical memory.
- DxDiag information. Lets get detailed characteristics machines, including RAM.
Other ways How can I check the RAM on Windows 7? much more difficult to implement. Therefore, it is recommended to use those described above.
Windows Version Limitations
Various Windows versions have restrictions on the amount of RAM. 32-bit: Starter version on program level supports 2GB operation.
The remaining versions are 4. 64-bit (64bit): Basic and Home Basic support up to 8 GB, Home Advanced - 16, Professional and Ultimate - 192.
The capacity of your system can be seen in the same window, but in the “System Type” item.
Amount of RAM used
High load and lack of free RAM on the computer can lead to slow operation. In this case, the PC will start to slow down and become dull. The easiest way to find out the amount of free RAM is through the Task Manager.
It is called through the key combination Ctrl+Alt+Delete and selecting the appropriate position in the window that appears. You can also call it by right-clicking on the Taskbar (the bar at the bottom of the screen where the Start button is located) and selecting “Launch task manager” in the context menu that appears. In the window itself, you need to select the “Performance” tab.
The total volume is marked in black in the image. The green rectangle shows the memory occupancy percentage. The lower it is, the faster the PC will work. And its current use is highlighted in red.
Windows “eats” approximately 1 GB of RAM. The rest of the consumption comes from the programs running on the computer. It can be found in the “Processes” tab.
Increased performance
In order for your PC to function faster and not slow down, you should free up more RAM on it. To do this, you need to close all programs that are not needed.
After all, each extra browser tab consumes from 20 to 500 MB of RAM, and open source software can “eat” much more of it.
An indispensable computer component is RAM. It is present in absolutely every device, allowing it to function correctly. Since RAM can be from different manufacturers and has certain technical characteristics, some users need to find out these parameters by accessible means. As part of today's material, we want to demonstrate the implementation of this goal in the Windows 7 operating system, analyzing absolutely everything important nuances this computer component.
The main indicator that interests the vast majority of users is the amount of RAM. The number of available megabytes determines how many processes the computer can process simultaneously, since machine code is often temporarily stored in RAM and is gradually processed by other components. Nowadays, for the correct functioning of modern games, sometimes even 8 GB of reserve is not enough, not to mention working with complex professional programs. However, the question of RAM volume is almost always of interest to novice users. Especially for them, we have prepared as many as six available methods for solving this, which are presented below.
Method 1: AIDA64
We suggest starting with using third-party tools from independent developers, which, in addition to volume, are able to demonstrate other technical characteristics of the installed component. First of all, we recommend that you familiarize yourself with the AIDA64 program. It is known to almost everyone, but it is paid, and trial version hidden necessary information. If you do not want to purchase this software, immediately proceed to the next method, and for those who already own or are planning to buy AIDA, we advise you to study these instructions.
As you can see, AIDA64 is very easy to use, but its main drawback is that it is paid. If you are not ready to pay for this software, consider the following two options, which also use third-party software that is distributed free of charge.
Method 2: Speccy
Many active users operating room Windows systems Have you heard at least once about such software as . Its main function is to clean the system of debris. The developers of this application have created another tool that allows you to monitor the components installed in your PC, including RAM. This process looks like this:
- After installing Speccy, run it and wait for the system scan to complete. This may take several minutes, depending on the speed of your PC.
- Immediately in the main window the amount of installed RAM is displayed in the line "RAM".
- If you want more information, take a look at the left panel. Select a category here "RAM" by clicking on it with the left mouse button.
- Expand the lists present to get absolutely all the data, including the type of RAM, the number of sticks, the total load and the amount of virtual memory.
- Now you can study all these technical characteristics.
Speccy is distributed free of charge, so after use, leave this software on your computer in case you need to quickly find out some parameter of the built-in component or connected peripheral again. As you can see, this software displays absolutely all basic and additional information.
Method 3: System Spec
If none of the above methods suits you, but you still want to use third-party software to solve the problem, we recommend that you pay attention to System Spec. This free program, practically no different from those mentioned above, but with one small defect - some names in Cyrillic or in a certain encoding are displayed as hieroglyphs.
Now on the Internet it is not difficult to find a program similar to the ones we talked about above. Therefore, if none of them suits you for any reason, read short reviews for all popular solutions for identifying computer hardware at the following link.
Method 4: Task Manager Menu
Now let's move on to methods that allow you to find out the information you are interested in today without downloading third party applications. The first is to use the well-known menu "Task Manager". In addition to the list with current processes, there is also a separate tab that allows you to monitor system resources, including viewing the amount of RAM.
- Launch menu "Task Manager" using a method convenient for you, for example, by right-clicking on the taskbar and selecting "Start Task Manager". WITH alternative options Opening this window can be found in our article below.
- Please note the table below. The physical memory load is immediately displayed here as a percentage, but this is not exactly what we need now.
- Move to the tab "Performance" and look at the graph "Memory". The chronology and total RAM load are shown here.
- A little lower in the section "Physical Memory" its total quantity, available and cached volume are shown.
- Press "Resource Monitor", if you want to view RAM usage in real time.
- A window called "Resource Monitor". Here on the tab "Memory" shows how each process loads RAM, for how long and how much memory it consumed in total. Below is a general graph of RAM and its entire existing amount.
As you can see, the potential "Task Manager" much higher than novice users might imagine. It contains a lot of useful information, and in Windows 10 this component has been further improved. However, not all users want to use this particular option for viewing RAM. In such situations, we recommend turning to the two final methods presented below.
- Open context menu“My Computer” shortcut (right-click on it once). Next, select "Properties".
As a result, a window will appear indicating the size of available RAM, the type of operating system (for example, 32-bit), etc.
- An alternative method is to go through Start.
Start – Run.
In the window that appears, manually enter msinfo32 and press Enter.
- Another method that is based on a combination of function keys.
- Press “Win + R” and enter dxdiag in the window that opens.
- A new window will appear. Pay attention to the “Memory” line. The physical amount of computer memory will be indicated there.
- All methods describe the free number of Gigabits on your PC.
But how can you find out exactly the RAM of your laptop or computer and analyze it additional characteristics read below.
I want to immediately warn you that you cannot do this without using third-party applications and utilities. One such program is Speccy. It allows you to access all the characteristics of modules and boards that are currently connected to your PC.
The utility is free and readily available for downloading from the Internet.
After downloading the program, proceed with installation. The utility is installed using standard methods, without any particular difficulties.
To check what RAM is installed on your PC, do the following:
- Launch the program.
- Open the "RAM" section.
And then just read the information that interests you. Everything is described there in an accessible and understandable way. There are characteristics about DDR type, number of channels, volume and frequency. You can also see what percentage of RAM is being used at a given minute and many other useful characteristics. Based on these characteristics, you can decide whether you should
But here is the most direct way to find out the RAM of your computer. If you understand all the system hardware, then:
- turn off the power to the system unit;
- remove the cover;
- take out the memory modules and read the characteristics you are interested in directly on them.
However, this method is only for experienced craftsmen, not for beginners.
On a note! Recently, if you missed it, I told or. And I also spoke. Be sure to read and do not forget to leave comments on the articles.
That's all for me! Now you know for sure how to find out your computer's RAM. Please write your wishes and comments under the article. I also advise you to subscribe to new blog articles and receive something new directly to your email. I wish all my readers great health and peace!
With UV. Evgeny Kryzhanovsky
