The selection of RAM (Random Access Memory) has become much easier in those days. Intel adopted AMD's standard DDR memory for PC motherboards. DDR (Double Data Rate (RAM) technology was originally saved as graphics engineers video card. GDR developed is more efficient and cheaper than the RDRAM (Rambus Dynamic Random Access Memory) that Intel used. Recently, the engineers of the GDR technology-driven, growing DDR3 motherboard bus speed even more.

When you start looking to upgrade the RAM in your netbook to 2GB then you've probably looked at some forums and read user reviews, and noted that there are now more confused than when you started.

You may include terminology such as cl, have seen 667 or 800 MHz non-ECC, and made you wonder what kind of memory you need. So these numbers are all very important, and only certain types are compatible with your netbook. The best-selling and best rated> Netbook Memory is the Crucial 2GB stick, so I have that particular brand address, but that goes for all brands.

Centon 256MB PC133/100 SDRAM SODIMM Notebook Memory (256MBLT133) Review

I recently upgraded to this memory from a 128mb chip from PNY. My file transfer ability seems to have more than doubled due to the extra access memory available to my system. However, possibly due to the faster movement of information, my computer seems more likely to lock up when over-taxed by incompatible programs (ex: Kazaa and Netscape 7 don’t like one another). Note that I said more likely, incompatible programs always have a chance of crashing your unit. Thus overall, I don’t mind recommending this item for people who want to be able to do faster downloads or system manipulations (defragging takes half as much time now), but for multitasking, especially if using P2P programs or downloading programs, the chip is limited in stability.
