Dynamic Random Access Memory chips are simple and relatively cheap to make. They hold four times as much information as Static Random Access Memory chips, which are expensive but allow a computer to retrieve memory much more quickly. DRAM chips are rated in nanoseconds, with lower numbers indicating faster chips. But bear with me, because the fun is just beginning. I knew I could install the memory modules myself.
Some events become landmarks in a person's life.
For me, one of those was the day I removed the cover from my computer and looked in. My full tower, with the blinking lights and drives, has an easily removed cover. I disconnected all the cables. All sound ceased and all lights died. But I forged ahead.
