When it comes to memory, options such as Hitachi memory, Brio memory, Quadra memory, Portege memory or others, there seems to be some confusion on what it can and cannot do. It is important to understand that upgrading memory in your computer will not actually make the computer run faster. However, more memory will allow the processes going on in your computer to work at high speed, which ultimately makes the computer faster. For instance, when you first turn your computer on, a number of applications have to load. This process uses RAM memory to do the job. If you were low on memory, the process would bog down whereas with adequate memory, the process would be quicker.
If you were like most people, you spend time surfing the internet. This may be to shop at online auctions, read news reports, check up on the latest celebrity gossip, and so on. With insufficient memory, your computer will take forever trying to get from one site to the next. As with opening initial applications, memory speeds up the process in which information is sent, thus better overall speed. Regardless if you are talking about Windows memory or Macintosh memory, typically the results would be the same.
