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.

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.

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.

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.

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

@LionWithTheLamb

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.

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.

Thank you brother ❤

This video was a waste of time. Stop buying more ram? Then proceeded to say 32gig and beyond is perfect. Sincerely,

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.

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.

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)

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.

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.

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.

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.

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?

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.

It depends on what they are doing. If they are gaming, 16gb should be minimum on 10 and especially on 11.

I always Build my own using 16 Gigs of RAM, but for performance it's everything else in your System like CPU & GPU performance.

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.

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 KZread has produced nothing.

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.

I used to use the crucial scan tool to help with ram

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)

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.

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 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.

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😊

thank you....

Appreciate you being here 🔥

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.

HOWdy L-R, ... Thanks COOP the WiSeNhEiMeR from Richmond, INDIANA ...

12 is the minimum rec. but get 16 for matching.

----- - 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 'KZread' 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. -----

An MS tech (not over the phone :) ) said that there is one more step to adding ram...he maintained that whilst Windows will recognise and use the new addition - the system won't be fully optimised until there is a clean install of Windows. Was he right Liron?

hmmm - a clean install helps if the system is really bogged down with loads of apps and bloatware. Not sure what that has to do with new RAM though as the computer will use whatever resources it has

Well *faster* RAM can do, especially in pre builts that are often severly hampered by cheap slow RAM. More RAM only is useful if you constantly run out of RAM or if you want use a RAM-Drive, also it can smoothen Frametimes when, for example, upgrading from 16 to 32gigs. Also more RAM prevents windumb from pushing Data to the swap file, which slows the system down as well, even if its located on a fast M.2 drive. RAM to accellerate a system in general, is often playing with symptoms, but not touching the illness, which is more often than not the CPU, GPU and / or slow Drives.
