Compaq 1600-XL258 Ram
Due to the fact that RAM is temporary storage for the processor, it does not hold files like documents or pictures. But, it will affect the speed of your laptop. The RAM speed is imposed within the specs of the motherboard, and the minimum storage size is determined by the system software. Your laptop RAM stores small bits of information that the computer uses for executing commands. Random Access Memory is considered volatile memory as all the data it holds gets erased when the system shuts down. Having the RAM installed is mandatory in order for your laptop to even boot. If you are ever in doubt, remember that bigger is always better!
Indications the RAM has little time left
- The OS cannot report the correct memory amount
- The OS produces random errors on your laptop as you use it
- The screen will not display correctly when you turn your system on
