We’d always recommend getting it new, unless it has a cast-iron guarantee, as RAM chips are pretty fragile. Now you have all of this information, you can start searching for RAM. the frequency of the memory (in other words, how fast it is).what type of memory it uses (this is usually something involving the letters DDR).the number of memory slots your motherboard has (usually two, sometimes one, occasionally four).There’s a lot of details in this tab that we don’t need to know for our purposes. Desktops can go even further – in fact, some 64-bit editions of Windows will accommodate up to 6TB of RAM, although it’s likely you would hit your motherboard’s maximum RAM limit long before hitting this number. A high-end laptop can have 16GB, or even 32GB. Gaming and other graphic intensive operations require quite a bit more. Most manufacturers currently recommend at least 4GB for day-to-day computing. For example, having an installed RAM of 12GB could indicate that of your four sticks of 4GB of RAM, one has failed. If you have a number displayed that’s not a multiple of four (for example, 6GB), it’s possible that a RAM stick has failed or is not installed correctly.
Some older machines may have 2GB of RAM, but given that Windows 10 requires at least 2GB to run efficiently, you’ll normally find that machines come with at least 4GB these days. That means your installed RAM should either be 4GB, 8GB, 16GB, and so on. Given the way it interacts with the system, it’s most efficient to install RAM in multiples of four. The latter number is lower as a proportion of installed RAM is always reserved for some critical Windows processes. The first is the total amount of RAM installed on the system, and the second shows ‘usable’ RAM, which indicates how much RAM your apps and processes can utilise at any given time. You’ll notice that installed RAM shows two numbers. On the About screen you should see information on device name, processor type and speed, installed RAM, device and product ID, whether it’s running a 32-bit or 64-bit operating system, and some miscellaneous data. Another option to get there is by accessing the " System" settings and navigating down the page to " About". This can easily be done by typing " RAM" into your Windows 10 search bar and selecting " View RAM info". To see this, you'll want to navigate to the " About" section of your control panel. Unfortunately, Windows 10 doesn't provide a huge amount of information in this regard.
