Most important is to choose RAM which is the correct speed and type for your machine.

You can check the configurators at www.kingston.com and www.crucial.com to check the right RAM for your make and model of machine.

Putting in 'faster' RAM does you no good at all unless your machine or motherboard can adjust its speed and timings to take advantage of the faster RAM speeds. Many name-brand machines have locked settings and cannot do this, but motherboard makers such as Asus and Gigabyte make it easy to adjust the settings for higher performance.

The best bet is to deal with a reputable vendor who can guarantee compatibility with your make and model of machine, who offers a lifetime warranty, and a no charge return for refund or replacement if the RAM doesn't work.

Why is upgrading RAM useful?

Upgrading your computer's RAM is almost always useful, but only if your computer and operating system can take advantage of it. Increasing RAM takes some of the load off the hard disk and thus will almost always cause an increase in performance and speed. However, some operating systems cannot make use of more than 3GB of RAM while others, particularly 64-bit OSs can use much more. Verify that your hardware (PC) will accept the additional RAM before deciding.
