RAM Price in Nepal [2021]: Multi-brand, RGB/Non-RGB
RAM is one of the major components to consider whenever you are building a new PC or updating an existing one. In this post, we have listed the price of the RAM sticks (modules) that you can currently buy in Nepal.
What is RAM and what does it do?
RAM (Random Acess Memory) is responsible for storing information relating to processes and threads being processed. When you run a program on a computer, related data and files (otherwise known as pagefile) need to be loaded onto the RAM for your system to give you the result you require.
There are programs that require more RAM than others. Generally, high-end games and programs that deal with large media files require higher RAM storage. Not having enough RAM may result in a laggy experience. It can even cause freezing and random boots. At times, your system will also display a “Memory Getting Low” error message.
Upgrading RAM in your system
There are few considerations to make whenever upgrading RAM in a system. First, your system needs to support RAM upgrades. In many systems, you will find that RAM is soldered into the motherboard. You cannot do anything in this case.
If your system has replaceable RAM then you can think of upgrading them. A lot of it will depend on your systems like the no of sticks that can be inserted, the maximum capacity, and the form factor (DIMM/SODIMM).
You will also have to pay attention to the generation of the RAM module. The latest standard is DDR4 but your system may support DDR3 or DDR2 if it is older. So do check the compatibility of your motherboard. There are even systems out there that support multiple generations of RAM. But never use modules belonging to two different generations together. If possible always go for a dual-channel configuration.
Some RAM even comes with their own RGB lighting. These RGBs do not have any effect on the performance and are there for purpose of aesthetics alone. Unless you are building a gaming rig that you want to show off to your friends you will be better off with non-RGB RAM modules.
