Ram Upgrade

[MegaUltimateHD]

Hi, 

I own an Acer laptop with an i7 5500u and only 4gb ram. Is upgrading the ram to 8gb or 16gb worth it? I don't play demanding games but still suffer in performance, is this part of the reason?

Thanks,

Unless your using more than 8 GB, it won't matter. Might be much better to upgrade to an SSD. That make things feel snappier.

 

You can also disable startup tasks. There are as bunch more tricks, but SSD is probably going to be the first requirement.

Haha, that's fine. What capacity and how full?

 

How and when does it feel slow?

500gb Samsung drive with about 200gb left it feels slow when loading Maya, Unity and Astroneer (when i feel like playing at 15fps) but monitoring task manager revealed that the ram is capping
