From time to time we will offer helpful tips and ideas in our support blog.
To our inspectors: now is the time to increase the memory (RAM) in your computer. Why you ask? The market conditions of memory have really pushed the street price of memory (RAM) down. Your computer uses memory to actively run programs. When your machine runs low on memory it uses the hard drive to store information instead of memory (it is Windows® way of creating “FAKE RAM”). This drastically reduces the speed of your computer. Most modern memory can access data in about 0.000 000 001 seconds (real quick). A modern hard drive accesses the same information in approximately 0.013 seconds. If you are running short on memory you will definitely be waiting on your computer’s hard drive (a lot). Also; if you have a stock laptop there is a good chance you have an even slower hard drive as most companies such as Dell and HP will sell you machines with slower drives as the standard. This is purely to reduce their price points. In summary; now is the time to grab additional memory and really speed up eInspections™ and your Inspection Support Network™.
