What RAM Is Used for a Cisnet Ci33-S33-C90 Computer?
The Cisnet Ci33-S33-C90 desktop computer is an older model owned by the ZT Systems computer and technology company. Because the model is an older one, ZT Systems no longer offers support for the Ci33-S33-C90. Thus, if your computer needs replacement or upgraded RAM, you will need to do it yourself or take it to an authorized computer repair center for service, and you will need either DDR PC2700 or DDR PC3200 RAM sticks.

What is RAM?
-
RAM, short for Random Access Memory, is your computer’s temporary information storage space. For instance, if you access a page on the Internet, then minimize your Internet browser while doing another task on your computer, the information regarding that browser page is stored in your RAM. When you view the Internet browser again, your computer will recall the information from the RAM, which allows the information to display again quickly. Because RAM is temporary storage space, it is completely erased when you turn off your computer, leaving it clean for the next time you turn on your computer.
Specifications
-
Your Cisnet Ci33-S33-C90, which features two memory slots, can only support DDR RAM in speeds of either PC2700 or PC3200. The default RAM included in your computer is 512MB of PC2700 DDR RAM. You can install up to 2GB of RAM in your Ci33-S33-C90, with a maximum of 1GB of RAM per memory slot. If you attempt to install more than 1GB of RAM in a slot, or if you try to install more than 2GB of RAM total, your computer will not start.

Availability and Cost
-
DDR is an older form of RAM. While it is still available on the consumer market as of the date of publication, it is becoming harder to find because new computers no longer use DDR. You can still find DDR RAM at some brick-and-mortar computer and electronics stores, and you can also find it through various online retailers. The cost varies based upon where you purchase it and what kind of memory sticks you are purchasing. For instance, two sticks of 1GB DDR RAM will cost more than two sticks of 512MB DDR RAM. Even with these variables, you should expect to spend between $25 and $35 per stick.
Considerations
-
When you install RAM in your computer, you should always try to install matching pairs; doing so ensures the best possible functioning of your computer. For instance, instead of installing one stick of 1GB RAM and one stick of 512MB RAM, you should install either two 1GB sticks or two 512MB sticks. Also, you should make sure that you are installing the same RAM speed: either two sticks of PC2700 speed or two sticks of PC3200 speed. Mixing speeds can inhibit the performance of your Ci33-S33-C90 and can even cause your computer not to function at all.
