I am now going to compare two hardware devices that are utilised for the capture, manipulation and storage of graphics.

RAM
There are lots of different types of RAM below I have chosen two different types to compare.

The first RAM that I have chose to evaluate is the OCZ 2GB DDR3 PC3-10666C7 1333MHz Platinum (2x1GB) Dual Channel DDR3. This costs £117.49 Inc VAT.

The second RAM type I have chose to evaluate is the OCZ 2GB (2x1GB) PC2-6400C4 Dual Channel Platinum Revision 2 XTC Series DDR2. This costs £35.24 Inc VAT.

The first RAM is very good, but this type of RAM would be used by gamers who require more RAM for their games and the fastest RAM but this is not needed as much for Photoshop users. The second RAM is better for Photoshop users and it is relatively cheap so you can always add two more gig sticks.

I am also going to compare to different graphic card.

The first graphics card I am going to compare is the Onboard UniChrome PRO 3D Graphics with 64 MB shared memory

The second graphics card I am going to compare is the GeForce 8800 512MB GDDR3GT this costs £76.99

The first graphics card is ok but not good enough to display advanced graphics so I have decided to go with the GeForce 8800 GT 512MB GDDR3 because it is a lot better By improving the graphics card the systems ability to display better quality images increases which the first processor couldn’t do.
