Memory or DRAM is the "working" memory of the computer. It's used to store data for programs (sequences of instructions) on a temporary basis.

Storage:

SATA 2 - 3Gb/s

External drive bay:

1 x 5.25"

Internal drive bay:

1 x 3.5"

Storage drives -- hard drives and solid state drives -- are the permanent memory for the programs and documents on your computer.

Data transfer rate is the rate at which data can be sent or received. This is determined by your motherboard. A drive with a higher transfer rate will only run at the rate of the motherboard's transfer rate.

Cache is a type of working memory that allows the drive to perform faster.

RPM is the rotations per minute of a hard drive which effects the speed of data transfer.

Solid state drives are non-moving memory, so access speed is instant.

Chipset is a set of integrated circuits that have a specific purpose in a computer system, a group of microchips used together to perform a single task.

PCI Express x16

Graphics card A circuit board fitted to a computer containing the necessary video memory and other electronics to provide a bitmap display. Adaptors vary in the resolution (number of pixels) and number of colours they can display, and in the refresh rate they support. These parameters are also limited by the monitor to which the adaptor is connected.

DDR3 240-pin DIMM


Approximately 5.25 in. by 1.18 in. (133.35 mm by 30 mm)

Crucial 240-pin DIMMs are used in DDR3 memory for desktop computers. DDR3 is the latest generation of memory with an improved architecture that allows it to transmit data more quickly.

A dual inline memory module (DIMM) consists of a number of memory components (usually black) that are attached to a printed circuit board (usually green). The gold pins on the bottom of the DIMM provide a connection between the module and a socket on a larger printed circuit board. The pins on the front and back of a DIMM are not connected to each other.

Each 240-pin DIMM provides a 64-bit data path (72-bit for ECC or registered or Fully Buffered modules). (The Ballistix™ and Ballistix Tracer™ high-performance memory do not come in 72-bit or registered modules.) Standard DDR3 240-pin DIMMs are currently available in PC3-8500 (DDR3 1066MHz) and PC3-10600 (DDR3 1333MHz) speeds. Additional speeds will be added as the technology becomes available.

To use DDR3 memory, your system motherboard must have 240-pin DIMM slots and a DDR3-enabled chipset. This is because a DDR3 SDRAM DIMM will not fit into a standard DDR2 DIMM socket or a DDR DIMM socket.

The number of black components on a 240-pin DIMM can vary, but it always has 120 pins on the front and 120 pins on the back, for a total of 240. 240-pin DIMMs are approximately 5.25 inches long and 1.18 inches high, though the heights can vary. While 240-pin DDR3 DIMMS, 240-pin DDR2 DIMMs, 184-pin DDR DIMMs, and 168-pin DIMMs are approximately the same size, 240-pin DIMMs and 184-pin DIMMs have only one notch within the row of pins.

    I bought this to perk up the performance on my eMachines Windows 7 Home Premium computer. The major selling-point to me was the Crucial Memory Advisor™ Tool. It helped me pick the memory that was right for my computer, and with guaranteed compatibility. After a bad experience with another retailer a while back (who stated that they couldn't guarantee compatibility), it was refreshing to get memory that would just do what it was supposed to. Work. It was very easy to install, with no having to go in and tweak any settings. The computer recongized the RAM as soon as I booted it back up after installation. I'll be doing all my memory shopping at Crucial from now on, and I'll definitely recommend that my friends shop here, too.

              I have an older motherboard and it took me over a year and several wrong purchases from multiple vendors to get the right memory. Crucial tech support figured out that I needed lower density modules. End of problem. I'm a happy camper now. beware of people who claim to be selling this part number and then sell you something that's "close" or "more up to date".

                        Purchased 4x4GB modules to replace the existing 4x2GB modules in my system to support one 64bit application with large memory requirements. The memory tool provided the correct recommendation for the memory I needed. Memory diagnostics run at the time of installation indicated all modules worked correctly. A few weeks ago stability problems set in and the memory diagnostic now shows one of the four modules is defective with a single bit error. Replaced the module (and its bank twin) with another matched pair and up and running again.
