Random access memory (RAM) is more important than ever these days. This is where information that your computer is actively using during each session is stored. RAM becomes particularly important when you have multiple applications open at once. The more RAM you have, the more smoothly your computer can handle them. Desktops can take up to 128 GB. Some RAM sticks are optimized for gaming with increased speed and a heat-spreading design. The amount of RAM you need depends on what you use your computer for. You probably don’t need to max out RAM if you mostly check email, surf the web, and work in Word. Multimedia demands more RAM, and if you’re a gamer, get as much RAM as your machine will handle.
