Basically by adding RAM (Random Access Memory) the computer will make us to proceed faster, especially for the program - a particular program. RAM is more important because of its operating system component called "Virtual Memory Manager" (VMM).
When running a program such as "word processor" or "internal browser", the microprocessor in your computer. We will take the program "executable file" (EXE) or files that can be run from the hard drive and put it in RAM. To run a program such as Microsoft's big yag word or excel, EXE think - think requires 5MB of RAM. Microprocessor also attracted a number of Dynamic Link Libraries (DLLs), which is bagin code used in multiple applications. Total of DLLs is 20-30 megabytes. Then, the microprocessor megambil files - data files that we want to see, and will meambah a few megabytes of RAM if we look at several documents or browsing a page that contains many graphics. So, for normal applications require 10-30 megabytes of RAM space to operate. The average of all computers have the application program as follows:
1. Word Processor
2. Spread Sheet
3. DOS Prompt
4. Program Email / drawing program
5. Three and four browser windows
6. Fax program.
7. Telnet session
In addition to all these applications, the operating system itself requires a fair amount of space. All of these programs require about - about 100 -150 megabytes of RAM, but the computer may only have 64 megabytes of RAM is installed.
Additional space required is made by the VMM. Some applications require tons - tons of RAM to do its job. If we run it with mengunkan kmputer with a relatively small RAM will occur continuously transfer program and the computer will run very slowly. We'll get a huge extra speed by adding enough RAM to eliminate the exchange. The program - a program like this may run 10-50 times faster if you have enough RAM.
