The HP PC3200 (400MHz) DDR memory features a Peak bandwidth of 3.2GB/sec , resulting in an approximate 18.5% performance increase over PC2700 (333MHz) DDR memory.

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 to toggle between programs.

Upgrading your memory is a cost-effective way of improving 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.

More RAM allows you to run more programs simultaneously and makes it easier to 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.

Because of the continuous development and enhancement of high-performance software applications and operating systems, the minimum memory requirements are increasing with each new software version. Therefore, to maintain the same level of system performance, customers should add more memory when they buy new software or upgrade to newer versions of software.
