Compaq Presario 1266 Ram
Random Access Memory, RAM, stores pieces of data that the computer uses for applications. Your laptop will not boot without the necessary RAM properly installed. Due to the fact that RAM is temporary storage for the CPU, it does not hold files like picture or movies. But, it does have a correlation to the speed of your laptop. The RAM speed is imposed within the specifications from the motherboard, while the size is dictated by the OS. RAM is a type of volatile memory as the data it holds is blanked out every time you turn your laptop off. If there is ever a doubt, just be sure to remember that you can never have too much RAM in your system.
Signs that your RAM board needs replacing
- Nothing happens when you initiate your system
- The main operating system cannot report the right RAM amount
- The main screen does not display anything when you start your laptop
- The OS produces access errors on your laptop intermittently
