Random Access Memory (RAM) also known as system memory, main memory, primary memory is a computer's temporary data storage device. It stores the information that the computer is actively using so that it can be accessed quickly. The more programs that your computer is running, the more memory it uses to perform properly.
Upgrading the system memory or RAM helps improve the overall performance of the computer. Improve application performance while multitasking. Improve gaming performance, and so on.
Sometimes a RAM or system memory upgrade is recommended, to improve the performance of a computer. An upgrade means adding memory modules along with the existing ones or replacing the old ones with new modules with higher capacity.
Desktop computers support DIMM modules, and laptops support SODIMM. There is a significant physical size difference between these two types of memory modules. It is also important to understand which generation of system memory (RAM) your computer supports (for example DDR2, DDR3, DDR4, DDR4L, or DDR5). System boards are designed to support only one generation of system memory (RAM). See the documentation of your Dell computer for model-specific information.
To install the memory modules in the computer, see the documentation of your Dell computer for model-specific information.
