1. DDR4 (Double Data Rate 4)
DDR4 is one of the most common memory types, widely used in various desktops, laptops, and servers. Its characteristics include higher frequency and bandwidth, providing better performance compared to previous DDR3 memory. 2. DDR5 (Double Data Rate 5) DDR5 is the successor to DDR4 and represents a new generation of memory technology. Compared to DDR4, DDR5 has significant improvements in bandwidth, power consumption, and efficiency. It is considered to provide faster speeds and larger capacities. **Selection of Suitable Memory Sticks** 1. Usage ConsiderationIf you only perform light tasks such as daily office work, web browsing, and simple image processing, a DDR4 memory stick can fully meet your needs. However, if you are a professional player or engage in high-load applications such as video editing and large games, DDR5 may provide better performance.
2. Computer Compatibility When choosing a memory stick, you must ensure its compatibility with your computer. You need to check the type of memory and maximum capacity supported by your motherboard. If your motherboard only supports DDR4 and not DDR5, then you will need to choose a DDR4 memory stick. Conversely, if your computer is new and supports DDR5, then DDR5 would be a better choice. 3. Budget Consideration Considering that DDR5 is relatively expensive on the current market, DDR4 remains a cost-effective choice if you have a budget constraint. However, with the advancement of technology and maturity of the market, the price of DDR5 will gradually decrease.
