512MB DDR RAM 266Mhz (2x256MB)

Does this mean that if I choose this option 266Mhz will be ADDED to my computer?

And can your RAM get less on a computer?

Thanks,
Conrad

This refers to 512MB of RAM. RAM is sized in megabytes (MB), whereas the 266mhz refers to its speed.

It says you are getting two 256MB sticks of RAM for a total of 512 MB.

Well, I don't exactly understand what you're asking :( but if you put 512MB of RAM into your computer, and your motherboard can handle 512 + whatever you've got now, then yes.

Yes. RAM can be added or removed. It comes in small "sticks" that plug into your motherboard. Therefore, they can be unplugged, or you can plug more RAM into empty slots.

If I buy the 512Mb of RAM -
(512MB DDR RAM (2x256MB))
Will it then add 266Mhz to my computer? (See above)
Why do they that 266Mhz above?

Hey Conrad,

The Bus Speed of the RAM (266Mhz) will only work that fast if your motherboard can handle it.

To find that out, check your motherboard manual.

It won't add an extra 266Mhz to your processor (computer) speed :-)

RAM (Random Access Memory) is used by the programs you open on your computer... e.g. Operating System, then you open 'MS Word' (more RAM is used), then you open 'MS Outlook' (more RAM is used)... The more programs you open at once the more 'MB's of RAM are used.

When you close your computer the RAM is wiped clean, until you next boot up your computer and the process starts again.

Hope that helps :-)
