In the market of today the average RAM that you will find is about 6GB DDR3. 6GB DDR3 is actually more manageable then people proclaim. 8GB is actually a little over the top unless your a real stickler about making things run perfectly. Honestly, my computer at home that I built myself has 1.28GB DDR with 2GB virtual memory. It can still run many many games. Just not maxed out. It operates and at the end of the day, that's all that matters.
If I was to purchase a computer that is a average desktop computer how much RAM and Rom should I have?
There is two types. There is DDR notebook RAM and there is DDR desktop ram. They can't be used vin each other (notebook RAM can't be used in a desktop) unless (in rare circumstances) you happen to have a notebook ram port on your desktop's motherboard. But no, DDR is a technology. Both desktops and notebooks support this technology because there is notebook DDR and desktop DDR. but notebook DDR can't be put in desktop DDR and vice versa.
No lol
Ram upgrades are easy to do if the the computer is a desktop. If your computer is a laptop then it will be a lot harder to switch out your ram. However desktop computers are much easy and can be done at home.
A desktop computer with no ram is nothing more than a very expensive paperweight.AnswerNothing will happen until you turn it on, when the BIOS generates an error message.
On your basic common computer today anywhere from 1 GB to 3 GBs is common. For a gaming computer 4 is about the minimum ranging all the way up to 32 which is way overkill.
No, not usually. Check with your motherboard specifications to see what RAM is needed and the maximum RAM your motherboard can handle.
Yes, you can.
The type of RAM that a desktop computer uses depends upon the design of the specific motherboard that is installed in the computer. Refer to the specifications of the motherboard or of the computer manufacturer (i.e. Dell, HP) to determine the proper type of RAM for your computer.
Modern laptops use what are called "SO-DIMM" modules. These are much shorter in length than desktop modules, and are not electrically or physically compatible with desktop memory. Some older laptops did indeed use desktop modules, but these are in the relative minority.
The average length of desktop in centimeter is 14 cm. It comes in different lengths.
