Super Talent Computer RAM 4 GB Capacity per Module

Expand Your Memory Capacity With 4GB of Super Talent Computer RAM

Super Talent is a technology company that specializes in computer RAM and storage devices. By adding more Super Talent modules to your computer, you can hold more programs and files open at the same time. These particular modules hold 4GB of data.

Since around 2000, almost all memory modules have used a technology known as DDR, which stands for double data rate. DDR improves the data transfer rate by sending data twice per clock cycle. This is a method known as double pumping. There are four different generations of DDR technology, each with a higher bandwidth than the one before it. Here are the main factors you should consider.

• Peak bandwidth rate: The peak bandwidth measures the total amount of data that can be transferred every second. The bandwidth is a measurement of the maximum theoretical limit. The actual performance may be lower depending on the real-world conditions. The bandwidth is calculated from the clock speed and the transfer rate. Since DDR relies on the double pumping method, that improves the bandwidth as well.
• Memory timings: The memory timings, also known as the latency, describe the slight delay in performance when the RAM is completing certain actions. The timings are measured in clock cycles.
• Error-correcting code: Error correction, also known as ECC, will correct errors in the memory. ECC tends to be reserved for heavy scientific tasks which cannot bear as many errors in the data.
• Buffered memory: Buffered, also known as registered, RAM boosts the integrity of the memory signal by placing less electrical load on the memory controller. This is useful when more modules are added than the computer system may be able to handle. Buffered memory can be normally buffered or fully buffered. Fully buffered RAM, which can be identified by the letter F or FB, is not compatible with standard motherboards. You will need a motherboard that is specifically designed for fully buffered memory.

There are two types of RAM modules: DIMM and SO-DIMM. DIMM is suited for desktops. SO-DIMM, which is approximately half the physical size of DIMM, is more suited for laptops. DIMM and SO-DIMM both have different pin counts. These pins form the physical and electric connection between the module and the motherboard. Each generation of DDR technology may have different pin counts as well. For example, DDR2 DIMMs have 240 pins, whereas DDR1 DIMMs have 184 pins.

The general rule is that you can match together two different modules from the same generation of DDR technology, but if the two modules operate at different speeds, then the system will probably only operate the speed of the slowest module. If you try to match together completely different generations of DDR technology, however, then they will not work together.
