Does external RAM bar exist?
Stayms -  
Hello,
I would like to know if external RAM modules can be found for my laptop (Windows 7).
If so, where?
Because I cannot open my laptop if I do not want to lose the 2-year warranty.
Thank you
Stayms

    Hello,

    The principle of RAM is to be extremely fast to access. Using "external" RAM would be like connecting a high-speed memory to the PC via a USB cable or another method with a data transfer rate that is much lower.

    What’s the point of installing a Formula 1 engine in a car whose transmission doesn't allow exceeding 90 km/h?

    In the end, RAM is useless; it’s just as well to use virtual memory.

      Hello,

      A question from a novice regarding PCs: does adding RAM void the warranty?

      Thank you for shedding light on this for me.

      Adding RAM, I don't know; opening the PC, yes, probably!

      Hmm, among those I interact with, access to the RAM is easy and provided for. As far as I know, opening the ad hoc part is allowed. Not the case with the laptops in your world?

      Wow, I have a laptop myself, and I admit that aside from the hard drive, nothing is really accessible!

      As if to say, it takes all kinds to make a world... But we're drifting off topic. Thank you for the information :-)
