Sony VGN-SZ480N Ram
RAM is actually volatile memory as the data it holds is erased when the system shuts down. Because RAM is only temporary storage for the processor, it does not have the ability to store files such as picture or movies. But, it will affect the speed of the computer. Your laptop RAM stores small bits of information that the computer uses for applications. The speed of the RAM is dictated by the specs of the motherboard, and the minimum storage size is guided by the operating system. Some RAM is mandatory for a computer to even boot. If you are ever in doubt, just know that it is impossible to have too much RAM!

- Silence when trying to power on your laptop
- The OS does not show the correct RAM amount
- You get a lot of weird errors showing up on your laptop intermittently
