Which upgrade has the most impact on the computer?
It depends on what specific aspect of the computer are you looking to change... If you're wanting to make the computer faster than I would suggest simply adding memory (RAM) to it. If you're looking for more storage space I would suggest simply adding hard drive space.
What will you be able if you add RAM computer?
Your computer will be able to run faster, and process programs, games, and other software faster.
What are the 7 processes of a computer?
INPUT; OUTPUT; DATA ORGANISATION; ADDRESS ORGANISATION; ADDING; SUBTRACTING; MEMORY. I try to think of such problems by what I would list as important if I was going to design a computer without ever have seen one before. The INPUT and OUTPUT are the human interface. I don't differentiate any of the variants such as static memory and dynamic memory.
Where can one get information on memory ram?
Any local computer store would have information on the memory ram of a computer. The employees of these computer stores are professionals and the information that they provide would be ideal.
Do you have to install memory on the motherboard to start up computer?

What is the Function of Computer Memory?
Computer memory and had drive memory have become something that people have confused as the computer age progresses, although no truly technical person would ever get them up. Both hard drive space and the amount of random access memory a computer has can effect a system’s performance, but they affect it in different ways. Computer memory is designed to be a temporary storage area for information that the computer needs while it is running. Information does not get permanently written to the memory chips and the computer only stores it for as long as it needs it. The hard drive and other disc drives are used for longer term storage of information. The confusion between memory and hard drive space came about possibly when Windows instituted virtual pages. If the computer needs more memory, virtual pages function like the swap space on a Unix of Linux computer. The virtual pages use hard drive space to store information. The upside is that programs can run on computers that do not quite meet the computer memory requirements for the application. The downside is that doing so slows the speed of the computer and the application down. Upgrading a computer memory in your system will improve speed, especially if you do not currently have enough memory to handle all the tasks you use your computer for on a regular basis. Adding memory is in many ways, like adding additional lanes to a highway that has become crowded or adding a new road system. The number of cars or pieces of data for the analogy, going in and out of the memory clog up the roadways. Put more roadways in and the cars have alternate paths. Removing the excess traffic lets the cars get to and from their intended destination more easily. Putting in computer memory is relatively easy. The latest forms are DDR and DDR2. To install new memory, the user must have the type that his computer has the slots for. The DDR and DDR2 connections, although they are different versions of the same technology, do not have the same interface. The slots for the different types of computer memory are not interchangeable.
Do computer games ruin a computer?

Would a video game on a disc take up the memory of your computer or laptop?
Anything that is run on your computer uses memory(also called RAM)
If your computer is using eighty-eight percent of available memory what will happen if you open enough programs to use what's left?
Your PC is near maxed out - if you add more programs you are likely to experience freezes and crashes, adding more memory would cover more programs if added.
