Gateway M520 Ram
Your laptop RAM stores random bits of information for the CPU to use for executing commands. RAM is actually temporary storage as the data it holds is blanked out when the system shuts down. 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 speed of the RAM is imposed within the specifications from the motherboard, while the actual storage size is governed by the OS. Some RAM is mandatory in order for your laptop to run. If you need to buy more RAM and are unsure, just know that it is impossible to have too much RAM!
Major clues your RAM is in need of replacing
- The laptop screen does not display correctly when booting up
- Emptiness fills the air when attempting to boot up your system
- The software does not display the right memory amount
- The OS produces invalid access errors on your laptop throughout the day
