RAM is the short-term memory of your computer. It’s where your computer keeps track of the programs and data you’re using right now. You probably already know that more RAM is better, but maybe you’re looking to install more RAM now.
Shopping for RAM can be confusing, though. What’s the difference between DDR3 and DDR4? DIMM and SO-DIMM? Is there a difference between DRR3-1600 and PC3-12800? Is RAM latency and timing important?
Read on for explanations on the different kinds of RAM, how to read RAM specifications, and exactly how RAM works.

Because of this, software engineers are constantly on the lookout to address any holes they find with security updates. But when a flaw comes from the hardware side of things rather than software, the threat becomes exponentially more dangerous. When a vulnerability is detected in any piece of hardware, it usually means that all others from the same product line are affected as well.
And that's exactly the issue...

One of the most commonly shared myths among small businesses and their owners is that hackers have no interest in attacking them. That they are simply, "too small to be worth hacking." These assumptions couldn't be more wrong.
The reality is, a high percentage of cyberattacks target small businesses. Cybercriminals look for easily accessible, valuable data like credit card details and customer contact info, so the size of the business doesn’t matter. It’s the lack of cybersecurity that makes small businesses so attractive to hackers.
Thanks to our sponsor, Dell, we're going to take a closer look at the cyber threats/attacks that small businesses face and how they can best shield...
