You are an IT consultant at a bank. An analyst at the bank is complaining that her laptop is performing slowly. You determine that the laptop’s memory is insufficient for the complex calculations and reports the analyst is running.

Do This: Search the web to learn more about current memory modules available to increase memory capacity. Evaluate the differences among various options, including type, size, speed, and price. Find articles from industry experts that list methods and recommendations for upgrading a laptop’s memory. Also determine how to add memory to a laptop, obtaining answers to the following questions: How can you determine the type and correct amount of memory to add? Why should you not purchase more memory than your computer can support? How do you determine the available slots for memory modules? What safety measures should you take when upgrading memory? Is it better to upgrade the memory or purchase a new laptop?

Solution

Type of Random access memory:

Fast Page Memory is also out dated in the ages of 476+10

Extended Data Out is old and out dated by this time only for computers in the museum

SDRAM is more famous RAM less possible she would have on her Laptop as this is of the age year 1999 and supports Pentium processor and Celeron Central Processing Unit.

Hardware types:

Double Data Rate is Synchronous Dynamic Ram

512 MB Dual Inline Memory Module

DDR4 SDRAM, DDR3SDRAM, DDR2 SDRAM and DDR1 SDRAM

OUT of the above listing, which is suitable for her laptop?

Memory speed depends on the following

Front side bus speed of data mobility between the CPU registers and the memory registers of the Laptop

If her laptop had PC66 SDRAM it can be upgrade to PC 100 SDRAM to make it quicker for complex banking double entry calculation and cheque reconciliations and prepare balance sheets and lots of accounting and tax dealings.

Whenever RAM of top speed is mix with that of a lower speed then the lower one take precedence and the system getting slow down despite of the upgrade

Hence it is significant to make the data bus at the front side helps this upgraded RAM

extra things to consider:

Maximum size of the Module

Banks of Memory:

Column address Strobe

The same logic of memory speed applies here as well when we mix a module of higher speed with a module of lower speed, the lower speed module will take precedence and the system will work at the slow rate of lower speed module

Error correction code also known as Non Parity

Remember the parity bit is for error checking
