Even if you don't need it now, increasing the amount of RAM in your system will prepare your system for when it eventually will be used. If you use programs that take up a lot of RAM, you may see the system slow down while the system makes use of the slow hard drive to manage memory contents, to the point where it may sometimes crawl to a near standstill while tasks are running.Īs a result, having ample RAM is great for system performance, so I always recommend to go with as much RAM as you can afford to put in your system. RAM is a high-speed memory workspace that the system uses for running programs, loading operating system components, and performing most of its computing tasks.
