Sony VGN-NW120J Ram
Random Access Memory, RAM, stores pieces of data that the CPU is currently using for applications. Due to the fact that RAM is temporary storage for the processor, it does not have the ability to store files such as documents or pictures. Instead, it will impact the speed of your laptop. RAM is actually volatile memory as all the information held gets removed when you shut down your system. Some RAM is mandatory for your laptop to run correctly. The RAM speed is imposed within the specifications from the motherboard, while the size is determined by the OS. If you are ever in doubt, just be sure to remember that you can never have too much RAM in your system.
