Make Everything on Your Computer Faster
Memory is a component in your computer that allows for short-term data access.
Since your system’s moment-to-moment operations rely on short-term data access
– loading applications, browsing the web or editing a spreadsheet – the speed
and amount of memory in your system plays a critical role. Load apps in
seconds by increasing the speed of your memory and installing more of it.
Multitask with Ease
If you’re like us, you use your computer to do a lot of things at once. You
might be editing a document while also looking at pictures and browsing the
internet. This naturally leads to a performance problem: every app you’re
running requires memory and competes for a limited pool of resources. Overcome
this by installing high-density modules in each memory slot for seamless
multitasking.
