Introdução

The RAM (Random Access Memory) acts as your laptop's short-term memory. RAM temporarily stores data so you can have quick access to the programs you are currently running.

In this guide, you will learn how to replace or install RAM in your Dell Latitude 5490 laptop.

Replacing the RAM can improve performance, allowing your laptop to run faster and handle more tasks at once. Faulty RAM can prevent your system from starting successfully. An operational RAM stick can restore your laptop to optimal condition.
