Apple Power Macintosh 8100 Ram
Random Access Memory, RAM, stores pieces of information that the computer uses for programs. Having the RAM installed is mandatory for your desktop to even boot. Because RAM is only temporary storage for the processor, it does not have the ability to store files such as programs or emails. Instead, it has more to do with the speed of the computer. The clock speed of the RAM is predetermined through the specifications from the motherboard, while the size is governed by the OS. RAM is a type of temporary storage as the data it holds is removed when you shut down your system. If there is ever a doubt, remember that bigger is always better!
Major signs your RAM needs replacing
- The software does not report the right RAM amount
- Nothing happens as you try to start your system
- You tend to have random reboots on your desktop intermittently
- The desktop screen will not turn on when you start your desktop
