Although the memory can be installed one module at a time, the best performance comes from using matched pairs of modules.
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 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.
External connector: 15-hole connector
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.

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 used Crucial memory before and have been very pleased with the reliability and performance. This time around it was a memory upgrade for a different computer. I had no problems with the installation and the memory is working great.

Comments about Crucial 4GB 240-pin DIMM DDR3 PC3-12800:
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".

The Crucial System Scanner correctly discovered that I have a FOXCONN A74ML-K but incorrectly identified it as version .3 when I have the basic (or .1) version.

Comments about Crucial 4GB 240-pin DIMM DDR3 PC3-12800:
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.
