How to Choose the Best Computer Memory

This article helps you choose the best computer memory (RAM) for your gaming computer. RAM (Random Access Memory) is the memory in a computer used to store running programs.

The more RAM you have, the faster your games and other programs will run.Investing in a decent amount of RAM from a trusted company is a smart idea. The performance of your gaming computer will be greatly affected by the type and amount of RAM you have on-board.

Firstly, let’s take a look at the different types of RAM available to you.

Types of RAM
There are different types of RAM you can buy for your computer, such as SDRAM, DDR2 RAM, and DDR3 RAM. The memory type you select will depend on which type is supported by your motherboard.

* SDRAM – This is an older form of memory that was superseded by DDR SDRAM. These days it has been taken over by better and faster forms of memory, so you won’t need to worry about this type of RAM.

* DDR2 RAM – DDR (Double Data Rate 2) RAM is very fast, and has been the most common type of RAM for desktop PCs in recent years.

* DDR3 RAM – The latest type of RAM out on the market is DDR3. This is the fastest, and the best computer memory type you can get. It’s starting to take over DDR2 for good. So if you have a choice of which type of memory to get, get DDR3.

* DDR4 RAM, which is short for “double data rate fourth generation random access memory,” is the latest internal computing update engineered to boost performance. This memory upgrade promises faster, more efficient performance. DDR4 technology has two predecessors, DDR3 and DDR2.

How Much RAM Do You Need?
You might be asking “How much RAM do I need?”. The simple answer is “as much as you can afford”. Adding memory to your system will show real results, and RAM prices are forever getting cheaper.

To run Windows 10 decently, you will be required to have at least 4 GB of RAM. If you’re a gamer, and I assume most of you are since you’re visiting this site, then you will require even more RAM. 8-16 Gigabytes is the absolute minimum these days to play decent PC games, but you should really look into buying a little more. It’s really worth your money, especially if you’re interested in upcoming releases which will require even more grunt from your system.

I would recommend getting at least 8 gigs of DDR4 RAM for your gaming computer, more if you can. An ideal gaming PC would have 8-16 gigs these days. Make sure your motherboard supports DDR4 though, and if not then just get DDR3 RAM if that’s what you need, as it is still fast and a little cheaper too.

Buying Your RAM

Buying the best computer memory for your gaming computer involves knowing which type you need, and then choosing how much you want.

One thing to watch out for is the brand of the memory you buy. I recommend that you buy from a quality manufacturer, such as Kingston, Corsair etc,  Buying cheap memory from an unknown manufacturer is risky.

Automation - Update Naukri Profile Using Selenium

Recently one of my friend came to me with a problem. He is looking out for new job but he feels quite boring to update  his profile on daily basis. As some people says updating profile in the morning gives you more calls as it keeps the newly updated profile on top (Although i don’t know whether naukri works this way or not 😀 ). As i was more interested to solve his problem.  After listening his problem i came to solution that instead of updating it manually lets make this job automatic. And it is quite interesting how we can automate our daily boring task with automation. Another day i came with the solution . And the solution was to make it automatic using selenium (Those who are not aware about selenium do check this link) In short, Selenium is a Testing automation Framework. And it is for automating web applications for testing purposes, but is certainly not limited to just that. Boring web-based administration tasks can (and should) also be automated as well....
