Computer Hardware We love you but we also hate you

RAM I need more, a lot of you techy guys out their will think I’m mad only having 512MB of RAM well I don’t blame you for thinking I’m mad I would love to have more I have some RAM on my desk right now but my motherboard uses Dual Memory meaning you have to have at least 2 of the same sizes e.g. 256mb + 256mb or 512mb + 512mb if you have something like I’ve got on my desk 256mb + 512mb it will not work.

Some of you might be thinking what a pain but in all fairness I would never buy a motherboard that doesn’t have dual memory, dual memory allows you to spread the load around allowing to use it faster for example rather than having a 512mb you could have 2 x 256mb allowing you to get much better speed of accessing the RAM this can go the same for using RAID on your hard drives like with dual memory I would never go without RAID basicly RAID allows you to connect up 2 hdd’s but windows or what ever OS you use sees it as one and splits your data across the two hard drives so your hard drive runs at 7200rpm normally now times that by two and you will find yourself quite happy.

It can be a large inconvenience though as you find yourself buying 2 of the same things just to have a good computer.
