VA-503 - laptop batteries memory

The last step upon leaving the case should always be to ensure that every cable and power plug is fully seated. If this also does not resolve the problem, try just the new module alone in the system to determine if it is compatible with your system. If the system boots with just the new module, try shutting down and adding the other modules one by one to determine if there may be a chipset incompatibility. What is the difference between ECC and non-ECC (non-parity) memory? If you are unsure of which type you have, just count the number of small black chips on one of your existing memory modules. If the number of chips divides by three evenly, then you need ECC. If the number of chips is does NOT divide evenly by three, you have non-ECC or non-parity memory. If you plan to use your system as a server or a similar mission critical type machine, you may want to take advantage of ECC. If you plan to use your system for regular home, office, or gaming applications, you are better off with non-ECC. Current technology DRAM is very stable and memory errors are rare, so unless you have a need for ECC, you are better served with non-parity SDRAM.

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.

MEMORY BASICS One of the best ways to increase the performance of your computer system is by adding more memory. With additional memory, you can have more programs running at the same time, and work on larger business files like spreadsheets and databases. Easily installed, RAM chips can speed up graphics applications, multimedia and, especially, games. HOW IT WORKS Before information can be processed by a computer, it must first be transferred to a special data storage area called RAM (Random Access Memory). RAM is connected directly to the processor by high speed data pathways. As long as your data is in RAM, the computer''s processor has almost instantaneous access to it. When the processor needs information that is not currently in RAM, it must be loaded from the hard drive and placed in RAM, a much slower process. So the more RAM you have, the higher your system''s overall performance.
