ram

What are the benifits from generic named ram to good name brand ram? Generic ram is so much cheaper but i don't know if the quality will be the same.

Generic - it's just basic RAM.
name brand RAM - usually have better quality, and for the most part are more overclockable than generic.
usually there are brand-names for RAM that are not much more than the Generic, but of better quality. Kingston value is descent, yet not expensive.
unless you want top performance and you're willing to pay for it, I'd go with, not Generic, but brand name RAM that is not exactly top performance, but of descent quality.

what does dimm mean and is it required for any type of computer?

 

[dhw200]

DIMM is an abbreviation for Dual In-line Memory Module, it is an assembly of several RAM chips on a single PCB for usage in personal computers.

 

[DahWhon]

why is it included in some of the specifications for ram when you purchase it?

 

[DahWhon]

does all ram have it?

 

[DoomUK]

All modern PC motherboards use DIMM's.
