ThinkPad TransNote - laptop batteries memory

What is PC-100 memory? Simply put, PC100 is a faster main memory bus, transferring data at 100MHz. Up to now, the fastest common PC bus speed has been 66MHz, so PC100 represents about a 50% theoretical improvement in speed. Tests have shown a typical speed increase of over 20%. Do I need to remove the stickers that are on the chips of my new DIMM? DO NOT remove any stickers from the modules. Removing these stickers will void the warranty. The main sticker is the bar code sticker which has the serial number under the bar code. This bar code number gives us all of the information about the modules that we require for warranty replacement and information, as well as allowing us to determine which module you have and what its characteristics are. These stickers will not have any affect on performance nor will they be affected by the heat inside the system. What is VRAM? VRAM is an acronym for Video Random Access Memory. Video memory is DRAM (Dynamic Random Access Memory) with an on-board serial register/serial access memory. It is designed for video applications.

For example, you can add PC800 modules to a system that was designed for modules, but the memory will run at the speed. How much memory do I need? Ask us and we will tell you every ounce and then a megabyte to spare. The answer really depends on how much and for what your system is used. Upgrading is easy and cost effective. RAM is used every time you open an application, download, play a game or simply turn on your computer. Additionally if you work with or plan to work with digital audio and video more ram is a necessity. The amount of memory you need depends upon how you use your computer. Most applications recommend a minimum of 64MB, and most users desire more than the minimum requirement. Novice User / Administrative If you use your computer to send and receive email, do a little word processing, and are starting to surf the Web, you can get by with 64MB. However, you would benefit from going to at least 128MB of memory. Basic User / Student If you are spending more time surfing the internet, sending and receiving email, and doing word processing along with other applications, you can get by with 128MB, but would benefit from going to 256MB.
