You don't buy memory to speed-up the computer itself, but it allow the speed to be fully utilized by more processes. You buy more memory to facilitate multi-processes workflows with many applications open, such as multimedia creation for example. RAM makes a big difference when you have a single computer and need to use it while rendering a big project in the background, for example. If you game only, more memory is completely useless, as you only have one app open at a time!
I didn't really see anything below about this. Adding more ram to your computer sort of depends on computer configuration, with a single stick of ram is going to be running in single channel mode. You always want to have your ram installed in pairs. So if you have 8 gigs of RAM you want that to be dual 4 Gig RAM modules, 16 Gigs of RAM you want dual 8 gig ram modules etc. Running your computer on a single stick of RAM means that the ram controller is only running with half the bandwidth. So, you are leaving some performance on the table when you really don't have to? Just try to have at least two ram sticks in your system.
This only applies to systems that support dual channel.
So is 4 sticks better then 2 sticks 8,8,8,8 vs 16,16
I did I exactly that bishop, computer worked even better
@@Lee-wh3ht Exactly what I want to know. I was running 2x8gb. Wanted to go up to 32gb. Ended up just adding 2 more 8gb.
All systems have a bottleneck, to make a PC faster, you speed up the bottleneck. The only exception is the video card or peripherals, which can be sped up individually. To check for a bottlenecks use the command prompt and run winsat formal.
Going from rotary to SSD hard drives was the best bang for buck speed up when I upgraded all my old PCs, they already had enough ram. Windows Explorer still causes grief when I have lots of applications open.
could be your cpu speed
The best increase in speed for me came when I changed out my old hard drive for an SSD drive. And it was a fairly inexpensive upgrade which also provided a greater storage capacity.
100%
you didn't need to completely replace the hard drive for a ssd, a small stick of ssd would've done the trick, and decreased your loading speeds and such to seconds
@@pro_scooterboy5000 I needed a new drive
I have a very old Lenovo laptop do you think they make a compatible SSD drive for it?
hard drives to ssd is a game changer. put windows on the ssd and your pc will boot up 10x faster
Many Thanks . You are a STAR. My PC has being doing funny things now lately . I will see if this can solve the problem
More often than not, the RAM currently installed does not run at it's correct speed, as it defaults to a standard/lower (safe)
speed. As where configuring RAM correctly when possible, does make a difference, in some cases drastic, and others, minimal, but still a speed increase.
Another factor especially if/when using SSD M.2 or even standard SATA, manually setting the page file to a faster drive, can make a difference when maxing out available RAM.
Vitual Memory = Page File (utilizes space on drive(s))
If/when adding more RAM or replacing current modules (if board/bios supports faster speed/increased capacity) ensuring the bios is configured correctly if possible, (as well as matching sticks of RAM (Speed and capacity) will play a factor.
A side benefit to turning off Windows virtual memory is that it solved the Windows 10 "100% Disk" issue.
Love the emphasis on matching speeds with motherboard choice. Pairing there is key and as mentioned below of course it is better to run 2 sticks of RAM together. Putting more focus on the motherboard speeds available and if that may be the area that needs the speed increase rather than just throwing more RAM in the metal box is refreshing to see being brought to light. Keep putting info out there!
I remember upgrading my old windows 98 PC from 32MB to 512MB and MAN! that was one of the best upgrade I have ever felt I had gotten Value from. The PC ran so much smoother.
Liron you are probably the person who supplies the most logical - close to computer for dummies - advice. I think you one of the best our there as you make idiots like me feel intelligent as I understand so much more after watching your videos.
appreciate you!
@@LironSegev Does the expansion of the HD helps on how can a laptop be.
Yes. More free space is definitely a big help. Changing to an SSD is the best investment you can make imho
lovely video, thank you so much. Please keep doing videos like that
Nicely said. Clearly demonstrated. I am guilty of "wishing" that I could speed up my laptop with more RAM.
I have an Acer Aspire 5, i-5. It came with 8 GB RAM, I upgraded to 12 GB. (Then to 20 GB RAM.) Task- Manager said I was only using 40% of my RAM with 12 GB. But with 20 GB of RAM, I am only using 25% of my System Resources. Cheers!
So it wasn't worth? Im planning on upgrade my acer aspire 5( a515-51-51UX)
Love the way you explained everything in detail in a short video. Thanks for helping.
Great video and great advice! Thank you from South Africa 🇿🇦
I do 3D 'art' stuff and video editing. My 64GB Ram usually is about 31% use all the time. And when using Adobe products I am usually at 60% use, and I've gotten it to 80% at times.
Although if I didn't use heavy programs like that I'd not need anything like I do for video editing.
I can see me putting my next system tougher with 128 GB in a few years when I build a new system to replace my 5950x 16 core system.
can i see your video editing stuff. and do you want to be work as a freelancer on different freelancer platform I am ready for the bidding. Bidding and profile will be your and I am from Pakistan and can do this work on cheapest rates.
Many long years ago, back when I had Win95, P120 and 16Mb ram. It was slow.
Then I went out and got another 16Mb ram, £60 it cost.
Now with 32Mb, Win95 flows like a wind.
I have never seen that performance boots on any PC ever since. How times have changed.
win8/10/11 moving from a HDD to a SSD/m2 is the only comparible speedup in modern times
Not so much today, but years ago, memory made a huge difference in speed. It could reduce or eliminate memory swapping when running larger programs, programs that used lots of data from disk that had to be buffered, etc. Most of those days has been designed out of today's computers.
I have to disagree, I am the it guy in my workplace and my manager had issue that she couldn't print pdf opened in chrome, my co-worker tried different virtual solutions but then I asked him to let me check how much ram does she have, I checked and saw 8 gb so I went to bring another stick of 8 and then when she had 16 gb it had no problem printing the pdf file from chrome
With OS on a harddrive, memory speed makes a ton of difference. I remember having 1333 MHz memories and switched to 2133 memories - both 8 GB kits - and it was like night and day. Today, most people have SSD:s, so this issue is pretty much nonexistent nowadays though.
Well, 30 years ago there was software called RAM Doubler.
It still does. Doesn't speed up your computer, but allow the speed to be utilized by more processes.
@@bar506 The bigger reason is installing a second stick of ram also enabled dual channel. This increases response times buy about 30%. 16 gigs of ram is what a standard gaming system has. The average office computer doesn't need it. That of course depends on what you do for a living.
This video was a waste of time. Stop buying more ram? Then proceeded to say 32gig and beyond is perfect.
Sincerely,
Interesting video! I've always heard the debate about whether adding more RAM actually improves computer speed. It's fascinating to see you tackle this topic and provide insights. I appreciate the explanation and the debunking of the myth. Keep up the great work!
I will always buy the highest capacity gaming device, I don't care how much it costs.
Thank you brother ❤
Well, here's the thing--it used to be good advice, and still can be. But today, few computers are sold that are starved for RAM. This was not always the case in the past. I used to fix and optimize computers as a hobby (well, still do). It was not uncommon when getting a complaint about a brutally slow system to find one that was RAM starved and swapping everything to the disk drive, which for a spinning disc system is orders of magnitude slower than RAM.
Today, with SSDs common, and systems coming with pretty much 8GB of RAM minimum, this almost never happens. Still, if your memory is regularly at 80 to 90% capacity, it is worth either figuring out what is using it all. If those needs are valid, upgrade your RAM. While your SSD is much faster that an old HDD, you don't want to thrash them either.
I should have said that...oh wait...I literally did 😜
@@LironSegev LOL, I probably missed it--you know, you hear what you expect to hear, yada yada yada.
Very interesting. It's also important to note that most modern mother boards support dual-channel memory. Dual-channel memory is a technology that uses two memory channels to increase the rate of transfer between your computer's memory and the CPU. In dual-channel mode, two RAM sticks communicate simultaneously on separate channels to operate your computer and run programs significantly faster. What does this mean? If you are going to use 16G of RAM in your system, it is significantly better to use two 8G sticks rather than one 16G stick. This is especially true if you have a Ryzen CPU
It expands the 64bit Memory bus to 128bit effectively doubling the available bandwidth. This doesn't mean double the performance but you can see a clear gain on most applications. 4 sticks can be beneficial especially with a built in GPU such as a G series Ryzen. That would use TWO dual channel memory channels. Many times four slower memory modules can outperform one or two faster modules due to the increased memory bandwidth. With Ryzen though also remember that the Infinity Fabric as they call it runs faster with faster memory so the ideal set up is FOUR fast memory modules.
There are some instances where more RAM will make your computer faster. One of them is when you have too many apps open and it has to save on the hard drive the current app or apps, which slows the computer down, so it's able to open a new one.
Ram is mostly about allowing efficient speeds while running multiple programs "processes". Run out of ram because you are running tons of processes? Your computer is going to slow down like crazy.
A lot of times your speed is being bottlenecked in some way. You have to find out what the weakest link is and upgrade it.
Have been using 16gb last few years with absolutely no issues for daily use of YT, some PUBG. Just purchased an addtitional 16gb. It's nice to treat your computer sometimes.
"lets open up chrome"
The 8gb ram: *90% utilization*
Often MBs support a different max clock speed based on whether you have two or four slots populated. People who want to max it out will have to determine what's more important between what benefits from the higher capacity or what benefits from the higher clock speed.
Agreed, memory upgrades nowadays are rarely the best choice to improve performance.
However, the combination of adding 4 GB of RAM and a SATA SSD to an older PC can breath new life into it for as little as a $150 spend. Of course, installing Linux Lite on that old PC, with no hardware upgrades, can have much the same effect.
Actually it depends on the situation, because it can actually do that. But primarily for must consumers you need a decent ssd. Alternatively the second you go past 4 Gb of ram Windows does better on memory management (on 64 bit systems)
Tell me you didn't watch the video without telling me you didn't watch the video
You are fantastic at informing people in a way us older users can understand x.
Glad to be or service and thank YOU for being here!
My work PC was 4Gb RAM running on Windows 7. IT Department upgraded to Windows 10. Instantly a somewhat usable PC became VERY frustrating to use because I have many applications running simultaneously. It is a must, not a privilege to have these open.
I upgraded my PC to 16 Gb (maxed it out), and then everyone else I added an 8 Gb stick so they now have 12 Gb.
Once booted, it is like Night and Day difference!!!!!!!
@@DonLicuala yes. One on the PC’s had 8 Gb and that guy wasn’t having the issues the rest of us did. After upgrading him to 12, he said it didn’t seem to make much, if any, difference.
100% - as I said, if you are maxing out your RAM, then by all means. But if you are not, there are other components that will make more of a difference.
Very true that if your apps under their most intense processes still shows a lot of unused RAM under Task Manager, then more RAM isn't going to change much of anything about performance other than aftermarket RAM sticks often have slightly better latency timings, and thus are slightly faster than stock RAM sticks.
Nowadays its I/O that is the bottleneck to speed. If you're not running and SSD, then you are not going to get much of a boost in performance. I was blown away when I made the switch from spinning disks to SSD's. AMAZING! Even on older netbooks, it made them come alive.
100%
The first time I have to disagree! Adding more RAM to my Lenovo laptop totally transformed it from being slow and almost unusable (I bought it second-hand off eBay) to the beast it now is.
If your laptop was using up all it's ram then getting more ram is what you need to do. Literally what I said. But if you lr computer isn't using the max ram then it won't
thanks again my friend... just did the ready boost with the usb flash drive of 64 gig and i will see how it works!!
I work in a school, with 10 - 20 years old computers... Have you ever tryed to use a computer with 2 gigs of ram, with windows 10?
Think of Disk Drives as a well and Ram as a Bucket. Bigger Bucket more water transferred from the well at a time. Processor is speed that bucket goes up and down the well
So true. For meaningful performance increase, you have to address all of the system bottlenecks. Performance is no greater than your biggest bottleneck will allow. The free version of belarc advisor will tell you everything about your computer resources.
You could look at your motherboard's QVL, too, to know if the selected RAM stick models are compatible and testested for your motherboard
Agreed!! Nice info..Love the video😁
So glad!
I bought an m2 nvme drive and an pcie x4 adapter and that made a lot of difference, had an ordinary ssd before. Have an old i7 processor with 4ghz clock.
Excellent video, thank you. I’ve done a few tests on my RAM, and notice that there is such a thing called standby RAM. You can clear this using RAMMAP to free up RAM, but then it fills up again over time. Would you be able to delve a little deeper into how buying more RAM might provide more space for this standby RAM, and would that speed things up? Cheers.
It’s quite simple really. Start your computer and then open all of the programs, applications and video games you wish to run simultaneously and then watch memory usage in task manager. If your memory is at e.g. 80% or higher, you need more ram.
The main problem the way I see it is that many applications today are extremely poorly optimized, causing them to draw more ram than necessary from your computer. One example is web browser such as Edge. It’s ridiculous how much ram it uses for only having one or two tabs open.
I have a spare laptop with a celeron n4020, 4gb of ddr3 soldered on ram and 64gb emmc. It is far from great specs, but it barely uses any wattage, can do 4k streaming with just a few frames dropped and it would still have enough headroom to use Open office's suite in the background. It's build quality isnt great being part of the infamous Lenovo IdeaPad series, but I have used it a few times to test what it can do over some years and it is still holding up. It also does seem more responsive running Linux (Windows-Like Elegant distribution called ZorinOS). Not one i would use for gaming, but it still serves its purpose, and for a "used" price of 40 bucks I can't complain.
Sorry about this being poorly worded as english isnt my native language.
Thanks for this tip. I will now download my ram instead of buying them😊
It would be interesting to hear your opinion on building suitable home pcs used or with used components. I stopped buying new pcs like i don't ever buy new cars. If you're not a gamer at all i think i can chop 2/3 or more off the price vs a new one for my needs. Anyway would be interested to hear your take on that, thanks for such great informative videos!
With such a setup, the owner of such used components are one's own tech support.
Many such non-gamers, non-power users would be better off with a mid-range mini-PC. Mid range being in the $300 to 500 range. For example, right now, one can purchase a new mini-PC with 8 cores, 16 threads, 32G ram, 500 G nvme hard drive, and still be under $400. These models are typically JUST integrated graphics; but if that's OK..
Sure, if you have EVERY component you need to build, and not have to buy anything, building your own from scraps MIGHT work if the parts play together nicely; but once you have to buy one or two new components, well, it's starting to get hard to justify. Heck, a quad core, with 16G ram, 500G nvme drive can be had for UNDER $200.
If the parts are compatible, reliable and affordable, that's all that matters.
I buy ram so I can leave my 100 browser tabs open......
What you need to know about RAM in a nutshell - The more, the merrier.
There is something like future proofing too, but still depends on what you do. In my case I work for more than 30 years with CAD/Simulation programs and have learned that the best thing is to buy as well specked your computer, or specifically your laptop, as your wallet can handle. It will hold up for much more time and these laptops can be handled down to do office work later on.
100% - depends on what you do. There is no one-size-fits-all.
@@LironSegevIndeed. At the moment I am debating whether to stay at 16gb, or go to 32gb or even 64gb, because my graphics card (Intel Iris Xe) uses the installed system RAM and does not have dedicated video RAM. The question is, would getting more system ram also improve video performance, since in theory that would make more RAM available for the graphics card.
Thoughts?
Thanks Liron
👍
Liron!..Thanks Much!..
My pleasure!
If you have the minimum required RAM for your O.S. (e.g. Windows 11), then getting additional RAM will help. The reason for this is because the O.S. uses more of the hard drive as RAM to keep the system running, sloooooowing it way down. Above that, it's only for intensive use like video editing or full AAA gaming.
I doubled my ram from 16-32gb 4x8gb rather than 2x8. It can run 128gb but 32gb if fine for basic editing. Running a Xeon E5 2670V3.. & a quadro.
I agree with everything here, but I've been noticing how "software creep" has been advancing quickly too. As an extreme example, the early versions of Netscape were 1MB, and now it's 80MB. Everything is getting bigger and hungrier for RAM, and people are using tabs a lot more. I've run into so many situations where people have browsers using 4-7GB on their own. They also have Discord, Steam, Thunderbird or Outlook, Office, and maybe a few more electron web based apps, etc., and suddenly they're actually using 14GB or more of RAM.
Just recently, I've come to the conclusion that I'm no longer recommending 8GB of RAM as a comfortable safe level, but now recommending people start with at least 16. Also, it's sounding like Windows 12 may have a requirement of 16, for the AI assistant stuff that it's going to include, so that probably means people should really shoot for 32 going forward.
It really seems insane to me, because just a couple years ago, I would have said that almost everyone (aside from power users and gamers) would be fine with 8.
I can tell you, it made a huge difference when I started. Being able to create a ramdisk, and load a floppy into it, man, the speed difference was enormous!
I often want to use more RAM for games like fallout 4 but they really don't like it. You get all sorts of weird problems. It's a shame because being able to load more cells would make life so much easier, but it really is not well optimised. I think it was fallout 3 that used to crash because it would load cells into RAM and then sometimes forget to get rid of them.
Programs like Blender and video editing generally do make use of it and it is a big deal. Then you have to worry about what the motherboard supports. This laptop is reasonably new but I think the manufacturer said it was limited to 32 gig, which seems odd.
In mainframes, I had a friend who told me about how they had to *reduce* the RAM to speed up the computer as it was spending too much time managing memory. That sounded like a horror story to me, like having to remove toes to run faster.
That Mainframe memory problem was called the “Von Neumann Bottleneck.”
Now confined to the history books…as far as I know!
It pretty much depends on how you use your computer.
exactly
I used to use the crucial scan tool to help with ram
With mentioning. Adding more RAM consistently works when they have only one stick in a dual channel capable system.
if you have 4 gigs or less of ram then yes buying ram might improve performance. a ssd or nvme with also help significantly. cooling is another thing to look into.
Nicely done.
Appreciate you being here 🔥
I always Build my own using 16 Gigs of RAM, but for performance it's everything else in your System like CPU & GPU performance.
OTOH there is zero downside to HAVING more RAM as programs require ever more each year. I never cried myself to sleep over having more RAM than a minimal amount, but I run virtual machines where ability to generously provision them helps.
depends if you have an intel PC.. you can in essence only upgrade within the same generation or if lucky to the next.. then only ram and new grafics card is an option.
having an AMD AM4 it is definitely better to upgrade to a new generation cpu accompanied by by a ramspeed and ramsize upgrade.
So depending on your setup, an upgrade of an amd system can be much more uselful.
It depends on what they are doing. If they are gaming, 16gb should be minimum on 10 and especially on 11.
So Liron, how does one go about reducing all the Windows constant io? It never stops!
7:33 - 24000 MHz 36000 MHz I want that 😂
OK, I researched and according to what I found the amount of ram that is utilized is limited to the type of Windows system that is on your PC/Laptop is running. They said that the regular Windows that comes with laptops is limited to using 8GB of RAM as its max where as the Windows Pro can utilize more RAM. So I figured I will upgrade to the Windows Pro version to see if the laptop can access the memory above 8GB of RAM. Even with my not so new Toshiba Qosmio Quad-Core i7 gaming computer, it never accessed any memory above 8GB. Everyone of the suggestions on all the Internet and TH-cam has produced nothing. Maybe it is time for a new improved laptop.
It also depends on the motherboard and OS. Your motherboard needs to be able to support the number of slots your laptop has. For my six year old laptop, it could only had two slots so I bought two 16GB RAM sticks that were sold as a kit. As for the OS, check the max RAM the OS supports.
👍With over 40 years of building pc systems I can thumbs up this guy for keeping things digestible. If YOU are not into the tech side then find someone you can trust for a few 'dollars' to help you out... I was recently asked re 'DO I upgrade my hard drive or increase the ram... ' 🙂It never ceases to amaze me how some want high tech systems with all of the 'bells and whistles' and only ever use it for their media account viewing etc ... Horses as they say for 'courses' 🙂Great entertaining and INFORMATIVE vid as always 👍
Appreciate you 🔥
I increased my computer from 16 to 32 GB of RAM. I then used PrimoCache to make a 16 GB ram drive...and I'm pretty sure that made my computer faster.
ok
I had mixed results with PrimoCache, I have 128GB, was fine with 64GB thought I use the other for a cache of some kind, in hind sight I would have got an intel process and use intel Optane, but I got AMD and thats that.
@@LironSegev 😮 8:53 🎉🎉😊
I think you’ve got too many 0’s at 7:38 when discussing Mhz. I’d probably been mentioned but i scrolled down and didn’t see it. Great video anyway!
You can use ram as cache which will increase the speed of the system.
You have to just follow the triangle
More ram
More cpu
More storage
Repeat
Dont even need faster ram,cpu,storage, dust cleaning, cookie cleaning,virus scanning ect😊
Doubled my memory for $20. Doesn't always have to be a lot of money! (I went from 8gb of DDR4 to 16gb of DDR4)
If you go (mixing up) different ram kits. You can only run your ram at the lowest common clock speed. Or you are not going to POST. ROG motherboards have a button that will do this for you. All easy, peasy. The way I remember it's toward one of the edges, about an inch in. Get in your manual. They call it (mem OK). I've only used it once. so I don't even remember much about it. I buy ram in a KIT anymore. A 4x8 kit is pretty overkill for my needs. But they are all the same clock-speed. So, I tell myself I am "future proofing".
Honestly, if you're working on graphics intensive PowerPoint slides, 8gb of ram is not enough. You will have trouble even clicking undo buttom. Adding to that, 8gb ram is just enough to run word with a few chrome tabs opened, if you're doing some research, with the microsoft office open you will run out of ram very fast, might need to refresh the tabs again and again just to compare somethings.
Dont forget the shared memory taken by the integrated graphics for system that doesnt have graphic card. That is also something kills your ram capacity.
So adding more ram does technically helps with performance. From my experience.
Basically not enough ram is a part usaly the most common part of the slow pc problem , cpu speed is a second on and gpu is the 3rd . 4th is disk drive speed / ssd read write speed
12 is the minimum rec. but get 16 for matching.
Sound advice. Logical, straight to the point.
thanks for being here!

- The 'RAM amount' and the 'RAM speed' depend heavily on workload...
Of course, your need for more or even faster RAM is pretty much nonexistent if all you do is read your digital newspaper and play solitaire all day.
Funnily enough, pretty much all the RAM comparatives I've seen so far on 'TH-cam' have either been centered on the 'RAM amount' or 'RAM speed'.
Why no one as far as I'm aware anyway has ever done a comparison focusing on both as in 'RAM amount vs RAM speed'.
Going from the absolute minimum amount of RAM all the way up to the maximum amount of RAM for a 'Normal' computer/workstation.
Compared to going from the absolute minimum speed of RAM all the way up to the maximum speed of RAM for a 'Normal' computer/workstation.
F.e., comparing the minimum amount of fast RAM to the maximum amount of slow RAM.
From that, touch on when to go for RAM amount over RAM speed and vice versa...
And to figure out the 'Goldilocks-Zone' as far as RAM is concerned.
At least roughly anyway since the myriad of HW-combos is dizzying, to say the least.
-----
Try rendering texture in solidworks. 16 gb ram equals 7 hours to render. The same system at 128 gb ram 15 seconds. It is very dependent on what your pc is used for.
That's what I said 🤪 if your memory is being maxed upgrade.
Great vid. Leant something new. I never knew this so yh
Glad I could help
It used to be in the "old days" adding more RAM was an automatic speed boost - this was because older versions of Windows (like Win 95/98 or even XP) did a terrible job of memory management and garbage collection, and the amount of RAM was low to begin with. So adding extra GB would provide the extra "fat" the OS needed to load programs. These days with PCI NVME discs, faster DDR4/5 chips, and overall faster processors with larger caches, going from 8GB/16GB to 32GB/64GB isn't going to be noticeable at all, unless using intensive apps like 4K editing in Premiere Pro, or intense games like Overwatch. Don't forget the graphics card and its RAM. Premiere Pro requires at least 8GB, preferably 12GB, especially with 4K editing or effects, otherwise it will swap frames with the system memory or NVME across the PCI bus and result in a bit of a performance hit. For most apps 99% of the time, 32/64 GB DDR4/5 is plenty enough.
BOOM!!! nicely put Chris.
These kids are all automatically hardware geniuses because they read a Reddit post and now they are experts in tips and tricks to better frame rates for Call Of Duty - yet there are dozens of people who don't play games and that is an impossible world for them to understand🤣
Will installing Linex Lite also be of any help ?
Thanks for saving me $$$. My PC is 12Gb RAM. Was going to "upgrade" to 16Gb. I only use it for streaming youtube videos, ms-office, and internet search. I guess i won't need to increase it any further.
If you aren't using the max ram all the time, it's not the best upgrade. Rather look at getting an SSD if you don't have that now.
Yeah, see, I work tech support at work, and this is a battle we have with users all the time. We used to tell them to simply move their spreadsheets to a real database or learn Power BI. Now that RAM is so cheap, we just buy it, if only to make users stop whining. As with most placebos, the users suddenly feel better, even though nothing has actually changed.
😂 Stop whining lol. I felt that
@@LironSegev I'm sorry. Our director ordered us to stop disparaging the users. I meant to say, if only to bless their hearts.
😂😂😂
Helpful video I recently bought identical rams to make my pc run at 32 and it slowed down my computer I checked the frequency they’re all the same identical so I was upset and than decided to take out 16gb to run the pc at 16 and it runs way smoother while gaming so I’m like wow what is wrong with this thing .. now I’m on this TH-cam channel that’s why I’m here ..
Appreciate you being here
@@LironSegev I was able to fix my problem where my original theory might have been wrong . I put new rams in my pc and instead of pushing the f1 key or f2 to let my pc figure on its own I pushed the f5 into running speed test into bios where it turned on all frequencies to maximum testing and acknowledged my upgrade . My computer is now running fine while gaming with 32gb of ram even faster than before actually it just had to be corrected in bios . Stuff like that took some of my time and thinking though but o well atleast it works perfect now in the future I’m going to get the new ryzen but haven’t found any new games I like yet because all the new games are like a movie where your playing in cutscenes so it’s not even a game anymore it’s more like watching a movie so I’ll wait until something big comes out .. hoping for StarCraft 3 or a new Warcraft and possibly a new Skyrim .
I think the "download ram" joke maybe also comes from a movie in the 90s or something.
Back in the 80's when our memory was measured in kilobytes and DOS could not access above 640k, we had memory access programs like QEMM and various memory compression programs. That's probably where this originated from.
For reference, my first computer had 8k of ram. How far we have come.
Increasing my legacy pc to ram that was higher but ALSO faster speed did make it way faster
Does this apply to phone's as well?

ive been wanting to upgrade my ram from 8gb to 16 since that's all my all in once pc can take, sometimes when i use Davinci and try to import videos it takes a while even when i use google chrome to watch youtube the videos lag, iam currently using cape cut which the importing wait and exporting wait is about the same as Davinci, i just hate waiting when i don't have to and i have seen 16 gb of ram on crucial and amazon for around 40 bucks so i wouldn't be spending that much for ram!
Windows programs the Cpu’s cache memory after some use, causing the pc to become much faster. Mine has 2x 512 kb. The Cpu load is often 0%, while the Windows is working.
thank you....
Appreciate you being here 🔥
Thanks
welcome!
I have a bunch of Processes that open on my PC. Is there an easier way to find which ones are necessary and which I can close down,without having to search out the individual process to try to determine if it's needed or not?
Open Task Manager and see what is using up your CPU and Memory
Hello, I just wanted to say I love your channel. Thank you for the detail knowledge, examples and clear and easy English were I am able understand I'm a key puncher. I found out being a key puncher is not good enough. U break down the techy stuff.😊 I'm glad I found your channel. 🎉
Wow, thank you!
Use 2007 Office, less lag on the system still reads modern files.
Would it be safe to say that adding additional ram to a bogged down system (high memory usage/cpu) would not increase speed but increase system performance? make it smoother in performance? older i5, 8gb ddr3, hdd with many tabs open
How old is that i5? 6th gen and later might benefit from 16 GB. However 5th gen i5 and earlier needs a CPU upgrade to an i7/i9 from the same generation or a newer generation depending on what is cheaper for you.
I have 12g ddr4 ram
Normally I'm using between 8-10 of that
Would going to 16 or 32 help?
It can get sloggy when I open tons of programs and browsers
I5 8 th gen processor no GPU
