What is computer memory (RAM)?
The computer memory, also known as Random Access Memory, or RAM, is the temporary storage component that holds data from workloads that you frequently access, helping your computer to work more efficiently.
Higher memory capacity (measured in GB) increases the short-term memory space, making your computer run faster when you edit documents, run applications, and browse the internet.

How much memory is right for you?
| Memory | Best for... |
|---|---|
| 128 GB or more | Running intricate scientific simulations, performing molecular modeling, and conducting large-scale data analysis for research in fields like physics, chemistry, and bioinformatics. |
| 64 GB or more | Creating complex 3D models, simulations, and rendering scenes for industries like architecture, entertainment, and engineering. |
| 32 GB | Multitasking across a wide selection of applications requiring additional memory, such as -- high-definition video editing, large database usage, and applications with complex graphics. |
| 16 GB | Performing basic computing tasks, such as -- using office productivity applications, web browsing, and watching media. |
What else do you need to know about memory?
- DDR5 RAM is best for memory-intensive applications dealing with large datasets. It allows users to complete demanding tasks faster and is more power-efficient than DDR4 RAM.
- System configured with DDR4 RAM cannot be upgraded to DDR5 post purchase.
- The number of memory channels (DIMM slots) range from 2 to 32 channels depending on the type of Precision workstation you are configurating.
Current memory offers do not support XMP modules.
