Make the pinwheel stop!
We all want our computer to work optimally. One way to do this, especially in older machines, is by increasing the amount of RAM your computer has. RAM is the temporary storage used by your machine. If you have been experiencing the multi-color pinwheel a lot - it's time for a RAM upgrade.
More RAM equals better and therefore faster performance. If you are a person using Photoshop the images can be rendered faster by a computer which has more RAM. The same holds true if you do video editing or digital photography.
I recommend to my clients that they get as much RAM as they can afford. The best performance will come if you can put the maximum amount of memory in the computer that it can handle. This maximum threshold varies from computer to computer. By adding more RAM you can increase the lifespan of your computer.
You also want to make sure you are getting your RAM from a reputable source. Inferior RAM can cause numerous problems including: not being able to start the computer and also data corruption. See my previous blog entry on backups.
Contact us at Starlight Media and we can help with your RAM upgrades.
