Muistimoduuli

Muistimoduuli, often referred to as a RAM module or memory stick, is a printed circuit board that holds random-access memory (RAM) components. RAM is a type of computer memory that can be read from and written to in any order, making it ideal for storing working data and machine code. Muistimoduulis are essential components in most modern electronic devices, including personal computers, laptops, servers, and smartphones, enabling them to run operating systems and applications efficiently.

These modules are designed to be easily installable and replaceable, allowing users to upgrade their device's memory capacity. They come in various form factors, such as DIMM (Dual In-line Memory Module) for desktops and SO-DIMM (Small Outline DIMM) for laptops, with different capacities, speeds, and types like DDR4 or DDR5, each offering distinct performance characteristics. The speed of a muistimoduuli, measured in megahertz (MHz), and its latency, indicated by CAS latency (CL) timings, significantly impact the overall performance of a system, particularly in tasks involving heavy data processing or multitasking. Proper compatibility between the muistimoduuli and the motherboard is crucial for stable and optimal operation.
