My only computer is a Dell Inspiron 15 3567.
its,
CPU:Core i3-7100U
GPU:Onboard Intel HD 620
Storage: 1TB HDD 5400RPM
RAM:4GB
Display: 720P
Operating System: Windows 10,Linux (Kali & Mint)
Im planing to upgrade this as this is pretty much everything my parents can afford me. (Please don’t laugh or suggest too expensive ideas.. Not as rich as yall are)
I already have bought a Kingston V400 240GB Sata 3 SSD
Im also planing on upgrading the ram. Since I already have 4Gigs on slot 1, Im planning to get another 8gb ddr4 ram for the other slot.
I dont need dual channel...
( But will dual channel work with 4Gb and 8Gb sticks on same speed)
But my question is will it be worth the upgrade for 12GB RAM in total or should i just upgrade to 8GB total?
I also use google chrome alot
I do not plan on gaming at all (I cant game on this even if I wanted), This will also be my laptop for about 5-6 years in the future probably (Maybe more)
So yeah... Will the CPU bottleneck if i install 12GB ram?
Thanks.
