1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:06,879
a quick memory can be really useful for lots of things whether you're trying to

2
00:00:04,480 --> 00:00:11,400
find your way to a restaurant sing along to that song at a karaoke bar or

3
00:00:09,639 --> 00:00:17,480
remember who won the presidential election in 1880 because you've got 50

4
00:00:14,480 --> 00:00:19,640
bucks on the line at a trivia game or

5
00:00:17,480 --> 00:00:24,640
something anyway but what about having quick memory in your computer although

6
00:00:22,519 --> 00:00:31,039
knowing how much memory to put in your PC is usually pretty straightforward the

7
00:00:27,920 --> 00:00:33,360
topic of memory speed is is more of a

8
00:00:31,039 --> 00:00:38,120
mystery so how much then does it actually matter well it helps to know

9
00:00:36,399 --> 00:00:44,879
what those numbers on your memory modules mean similarly to your CPU all

10
00:00:41,960 --> 00:00:49,879
RAM or Random Access Memory has a clock speed which corresponds to how much data

11
00:00:47,160 --> 00:00:54,280
throughput it can handle each second but in addition to clock speed memory also

12
00:00:52,280 --> 00:01:00,840
has timings which are typically expressed as a string of numbers like

13
00:00:56,600 --> 00:01:03,960
999 24 these numbers are measures of

14
00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:07,000
latency which in this case is the number

15
00:01:03,960 --> 00:01:09,320
of those clock cycles per second that it

16
00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:16,240
takes for your RAM to do things like access certain pieces of data so shorter

17
00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:19,159
timings will mean faster performance so

18
00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:24,840
together the clock speed and the timings will determine exactly how fast your RAM

19
00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:27,360
will operate and like with a CPU or a

20
00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:32,640
video card you can also overclock your RAM by cranking up the megahertz and

21
00:01:29,479 --> 00:01:34,600
giving it a little bit more voltage but

22
00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:40,159
unlike processor overclocking which typically gives small but noticeable

23
00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:45,840
performance gains getting the fastest memory possible for your system is often

24
00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:48,439
dismissed as a waste of money by many

25
00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:53,360
enthusiasts but why would that be then I mean isn't faster always better when it

26
00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:59,520
comes to computer components the short answer is yes but in the real world

27
00:01:57,159 --> 00:02:04,840
faster RAM typically will only give you very very small performance boosts that

28
00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:09,160
you probably won't be able to notice unless you're using very specialized

29
00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:14,120
benchmarking software you see modern memory has lots of bandwidth and can

30
00:02:11,640 --> 00:02:19,599
often handle more data flowing in and out than many programs are anywhere near

31
00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:25,080
capable of using so similarly to how you usually won't get more FPS in your games

32
00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:30,560
by plugging your graphics card into a faster PCI Express lot spending more

33
00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:34,840
money on topend memory won't usually translate to noticeable improvements in

34
00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:39,319
your programs but as with most things in the computer World there are exceptions

35
00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:44,760
to the rule and faster memory can be very useful in certain situations on the

36
00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:49,560
server side of things you can use it as a cache so you can take data that's on

37
00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:54,080
your main storage and make it so it can be accessed much much faster you can

38
00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:59,680
learn more about that here or you can use it for many many virtual computers

39
00:02:57,640 --> 00:03:03,760
all at the same time so even if each of them only requires a fraction of the

40
00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:08,400
bandwidth between them all they can use nearly Limitless amounts of memory

41
00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:13,080
bandwidth that's called virtualization and you can learn more about that here

42
00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:17,440
on the desktop side of things though the examples are fewer and further between

43
00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:23,640
but they're definitely are some like for example if you're running one of AMD's

44
00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:27,400
Apu processors because onboard Graphics

45
00:03:23,640 --> 00:03:29,040
use your main system memory as video RAM

46
00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:33,720
unlike a discrete graphics card which has its own separate RAM on the board

47
00:03:31,599 --> 00:03:38,560
there's a lot more information going to and from your system memory when you're

48
00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:41,200
gaming so faster memory can give a real

49
00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:45,480
boost in your frame rates with that said if you aren't running an APU it's

50
00:03:43,319 --> 00:03:50,280
usually a better idea to focus your money on things other than raw speed

51
00:03:47,959 --> 00:03:54,799
when buying memory such as buying from a reputable brand with a good warranty

52
00:03:52,519 --> 00:03:58,360
because lower quality RAM can cause lots of inexplicable errors that can leave

53
00:03:56,840 --> 00:04:04,319
you tearing your hair out when you're trying to figure out what the heck is wrong WR with your rig even buying

54
00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:08,040
aesthetically pleasing RAM modules that fit in well with the rest of your

55
00:04:05,519 --> 00:04:12,439
computer is in my opinion a better idea than going for the highest possible

56
00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:16,239
speed so then unless you're buying the slowest most Bargain Basement memory you

57
00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:20,799
can find you probably won't have to worry too much about RAM speeds that is

58
00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:25,120
to say unless you're trying to shoot for some kind of an overclocking record in

59
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:29,080
which case your bigger worry might be trying not to freeze your hands off with

60
00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:34,840
all the liquid nitrogen speaking of freezing hands if your hands are so

61
00:04:31,479 --> 00:04:36,960
Frozen that you can't tunnel to another

62
00:04:34,840 --> 00:04:42,280
country to access the internet as though you're in it then tunnel bear could be

63
00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:45,240
the solution for you their Bears have

64
00:04:42,280 --> 00:04:49,600
claws not to mention fur that make it easy for them to take your internet

65
00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:53,800
connection and make it so that the sites that you access and the services that

66
00:04:51,280 --> 00:04:59,039
you access online think that you're in up to one of 20 different countries

67
00:04:56,800 --> 00:05:03,080
they've got easy to use apps for iOS Android EC and Mac not to mention they

68
00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:07,280
have a Chrome extension and it is so simple to use that like my family could

69
00:05:05,639 --> 00:05:12,160
do it once you've got tunnel bear installed which is like double click to

70
00:05:08,919 --> 00:05:15,440
install Boop awesome all you do is click

71
00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:17,280
the dial choose the country and boom a

72
00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:22,039
couple of things happen number one your connection gets encrypted with as 256bit

73
00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:26,759
encryption and number two your public IP address gets switched so you can show up

74
00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:31,880
as if you're in a completely different country and tonnel bear bypasses all

75
00:05:28,639 --> 00:05:34,000
that annoying port forwarding nonsense

76
00:05:31,880 --> 00:05:38,360
making it so that anybody can do it they've also got a top rated privacy

77
00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:41,919
policy and they do not log user activity and the best thing about it is you don't

78
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:47,199
have to commit you can try out tunnel bear for free with 500 Megs of data for

79
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:50,479
nothing and no credit card required and then if you want to upgrade to an

80
00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:55,720
unlimited plan you can save 10% by going to Tunnel bear.com Linus Linked In the
