RAM代表随机存取存储器(Random Access Memory)。它是一种易失性存储器，也是计算机最关键的部件。每个软件都需要RAM才能在 PC 上运行。这是因为当应用程序运行时， RAM(RAM)和处理器之间会进行数据交换。数据传输越快，系统的性能就越好。因为RAM 是比 ROM 更快的内存(RAM is a faster memory than ROM)，它可以更好地处理这个任务。许多人对RAM存在一些误解。在本文中，我们将尝试打破关于RAM的一些最常见的神话。
关于 RAM 的神话
让我们看看人们对RAM(RAM)有哪些误解。
1]更多RAM意味着更快的计算机
这是很多人最大的误解。他们认为更多的RAM意味着更快的 PC。因此，它们更加重视RAM大小。除了RAM大小之外， (RAM)RAM和处理器之间的数据传输速度也会影响系统的性能。这就是为什么SSD RAM优于HDD RAM的原因。
因此，您的系统需要什么——更大的RAM还是更快的 RAM，取决于使用情况。例如，尽管有更多可用RAM，但您的系统会冻结或运行缓慢，您需要更高频率的RAM而不是更大的 RAM。

2]您不需要RAM，因为它永远不会满
“我的系统内存(RAM)永远不会满，所以我不需要更多内存(RAM)。” 很多人都有这种误解。这不是真的。当您下载特定软件时，您会阅读其系统要求。在系统要求中，还提到了软件需要多少RAM才能运行。好的(Okay)，这是最低RAM要求。但是最大值呢？你有(Did)没有想过？关于RAM(RAM)，您应该了解的另一件事是，每个软件或应用程序都需要总可用RAM的特定部分，以百分比表示。
让我们通过一个例子来理解它。假设您的系统有 4 GB RAM，而应用程序或软件占用了其中的 10%。这意味着当您运行它时，它将使用 410 MB 的总系统RAM 。另一方面，您朋友的计算机有 8 GB RAM，他正在使用相同的软件。在这里，该软件有 820 MB 的RAM可用。因此(Hence)，该软件在您朋友的 PC 上显示出比您的 PC 更好的性能。
如果您将计算机用于简单的任务，例如浏览 Internet 和在 MS Office 上工作，Windows 10 PC 的 RAM 最低要求为(Windows 10)4GB(RAM)。但是如果你有 8GB RAM会更好。

3]您不能使用不同的RAM Sticks
为获得 PC 的最佳性能，RAM应使用相同的电压并与匹配的硬件配对。这就是为什么总是建议为所有RAM插槽使用相同的RAM型号。但是，这并不意味着您不能在不同的插槽中使用不同容量的RAM 。例如，如果您有一个4GB的RAM棒，您可以在另一个插槽中插入一个 8GB 的(RAM) RAM棒。当您打开双通道模式时，它们将作为两个 4 GB RAM棒并排运行，以获得最佳性能。
8 GB RAM(GB RAM)棒的剩余 4 GB 内存呢？它将以单通道模式运行。此外，如果两个RAM棒具有不同的频率，它们都将以较低的频率运行。因此(Hence)，整体效率不会像使用两个相同大小和频率的RAM棒那样好，但仍然会比以前获得更好的效率。
4]清除RAM可以使PC更快
清除RAM使 PC 更快的想法来自“ RAM Boosters”和“ Memory Optimizers ”等软件。如今(Today)，许多人在他们的Android智能手机上使用此类应用程序。这就是为什么他们认为清除RAM可以让他们的设备更快。但这是对RAM的误解。RAM的工作不是坐以待毙。清除RAM意味着您正在擦除它存储的所有数据，以使系统进程更快。让我们通过一个例子来理解它。
如果您启动软件，例如Excel，则需要一些时间来加载。但是如果你再次启动它，它需要的时间比以前少。这是因为Windows将其部分数据存储在RAM中以加快处理速度。因此(Hence)，通过擦除RAM上的数据，您正在降低系统的性能。在技术语言中，清空RAM意味着擦除处理器存储在其中的所有计算。
RAM 不同于硬盘。它旨在临时存储数据。您的系统会根据需要不断地写入、擦除和重写RAM上的数据。(RAM)因此(Hence)，您不需要做任何事情来清空它。此外，您的系统可以更好地管理RAM上的数据。(RAM)因此，最好不要在您的系统上安装RAM清除软件。
这些是许多人对RAM最常见的误解。我们希望这篇文章已经消除了您对RAM（如果有的话）的误解。

The biggest Myths about RAM that many people have
RAM stands for Random Access Memory. It is a volatile memory and the most crucial component of the computer. Every software requires RAM to run on a PC. This is because when an application runs, there is an exchange of data between RAM and processor. The faster the transfer of data takes place, the better is the performance of the system. Because RAM is a faster memory than ROM, it can handle this task better. There are some misconceptions about RAM that many people have. In this article, we will try to bust some of the most common myths about RAM.
Myths about RAM
Let’s see what misconceptions about RAM do people have.
1] More RAM means faster computer
This is the biggest misconception that many people have. They think that more RAM means a faster PC. Due to this, they give more importance to the RAM size. Apart from the RAM size, the speed of data transfer between RAM and processor also impacts the performance of your system. This is the reason why SSD RAM is better than HDD RAM.
Hence, what your system needs – a bigger RAM or a faster one, depends on the usage. For example, despite having more free RAM, your system freezes or runs slow, you need a higher frequency RAM instead of the larger one.

2] You do not need RAM because it is never full
“My system’s RAM is never full, so I do not need more RAM.” Many people have this misconception. It is not true. When you download a particular software, you read its system requirements. In the system requirements, it is also mentioned how much RAM does the software needs to run. Okay, it is the minimum RAM requirement. But what about the maximum? Did you ever think about it? One more thing that you should know about RAM is that every software or app requires a certain part of the total available RAM, which is expressed in percentage.
Let’s understand it with an example. Suppose your system has 4 GB RAM and an app or software consumes 10% of it. This means it will use 410 MB of the total system RAM when you run it. On the other hand, your friend’s computer has 8GB RAM and he is using the same software. Here, 820 MB of RAM is available for the software. Hence, the software shows better performance on your friend’s PC than yours.
If you use your computer for simple tasks, like browsing the internet and working on MS office, the minimum requirement of RAM on the Windows 10 PC is 4GB. But it will be better if you have 8GB RAM.

3] You cannot use different RAM Sticks
For the ultimate performance of your PC, the RAM should use the same voltage and pair with the matching hardware. That’s why it is always suggested to use the same RAM models for all the RAM slots. However, it does not mean that you cannot use RAM of different capacities in different slots. For example, if you have a RAM stick of 4GB, you can insert a RAM stick of 8GB in another slot. When you switch on dual-channel mode, they will perform as two 4 GB RAM sticks running side by side for optimum performance.
What about the remaining 4GB memory of the 8 GB RAM stick? It will run in single-channel mode. Also, if the two RAM sticks have different frequencies, they both will run at the lower frequency. Hence, the overall efficiency will not be as good as you will get on using the two RAM sticks of the same size and frequency but still, you will get better efficiency than what you had before.
4] Clearing the RAM can make the PC faster
The idea of clearing RAM makes a PC faster came from software like “RAM Boosters” and “Memory Optimizers.” Today many people use such apps on their Android smartphones. That’s why they think that clearing the RAM makes their device faster. But it is a misconception about RAM. The job of RAM is not to sit empty. Clearing the RAM means you are erasing all the data it has stored to make the system process faster. Let’s understand it with an example.
If you launch software, say, Excel, it takes some time to load. But if you launch it again, it takes less time than before. This is because Windows stores some of its data in RAM to make the process faster. Hence, by erasing the data on RAM, you are decreasing the system’s performance. In technical language, emptying the RAM means erasing all the calculations that the processor has stored in it.
RAM is different from hard drives. It is designed to store the data temporarily. Your system continuously writes, erases, and rewrites the data on RAM according to the requirement. Hence, you need not do anything to empty it. Also, your system can manage the data on RAM better. So, it is better not to install RAM clearing software on your system.
These are the most common myths about RAM that many people have. We hope this article has cleared your misconceptions regarding the RAM (if any).
