Introduction

Maximize your Business PC performance with HP Memory. Upgrading your memory is a cost - effective way to boost your system performance without having to upgrade your processor.

A common perception is that upgrading to a faster processor will improve overall system performance. However for systems with insufficient memory , a faster processor will not result in higher overall performance. In fact, adding memory is the easiest way to boost system performance; and it's more cost effective than upgrading your processor. Random Access Memory (RAM) temporarily stores information from your operating system, and applications and data that are in current use. This allows your processor to easily access the critical information that makes your programs run. More RAM allows you to run more programs simultaneously and makes it easier t o toggle between programs.

When adding memory it is important to use comparable DIMMs to those already installed. Adding faster DIMMs will increase the amount of memory but system memory will still run at the speed of the slowest DIMM.

 New releases of oper ating systems or software applications often include an increase in the minimum acceptable system memory requirement for acceptable system performance. As a result it is often advised to upgrade the system memory when you upgrade the operating system or so ftware applications on your HP Desktop.

Dual Channel configuration

Although memory performance industry standards have improved, they lag behind the rapid increase in processor speeds and therefore have become a system bottleneck. HP Desktops feature mothe rboards designed with two memory channels instead of a single channel.

Dual channel memory configuration helps minimize the bottleneck by utilizing the theoretical bandwidth of two memory modules
