Your computer’s RAM (memory)
For desktop computers, memory chips ( RAM) have 3 main types (depending on how old your computer is:-
- DDR (used inside computers which are now very old)
- DDR2 (most computers will have this type)
- DDR3 (the newest type, now widely used)
This picture shows the (subtle) differences between 2 of the types
– meaning that the wrong one won’t even fit !
To find out which are inside your own desktop computer, obtain a FREE report by running a scan at http://www.crucial.com/uk/systemscanner/
