What does DDR and video card do in a pc?
What does DDR and video card do in a pc? i'm thinking of planning to upgrade those pieces by myself but i want to know first what changes it would be to my pc once i do it...thanks in advance
DDR = Double Data Rate memory. This is the temporary storage between your processor and hard drive. In terms of system memory, adding the amount and using the maximum speed of ram your motherboard is capable of utilizing in your system can have benefits in terms of speed of system performance, especially when it comes to running multiple programs simultaneously. DDR is also utilized on many video cards for dedicated video memory. This is mostly beneficial for gamers.
Ultimately, you need to look up the specs of the motherboard in your system to see what it is capable of using in terms of memory, both speed wise and amount. Also, be careful as some boards have compatibility issues with some brands of memory. Look up the model's user guide for additional info on that.
As far as the video card, make sure you get the right type, as you need to know what kind of socket you will use for it. Older systems used PCI, while newer ones either use AGP (this has been phasing out, but many systems still use this) or PCI-E, also known as PCI express. Make sure you get the right kind per your motherboard manual. PCI and PCI-E are NOT interchangeable.
Do a little homework on google and upgrading both of these components of your system is really easy, there are many tutorials available.
