    RAM update. Doubling your RAM on most low/medium -end consumer PCs will noticeably improve responsiveness and multitasking.

      I’ve literally never felt the need for more RAM, except on an old netbook that had 1GB and struggled with opening a website.

        Clearly you haven’t had the joy of having 10 tabs on Firefox, a film playing on VLC, the torrent client running, and trying to open up a large Solidworks assembly file on a 16GB Windows 10 PC. It gets eaten up fairly quickly.

          No. I can’t look at 10 browser tabs, a film, and a Solidworks assembly file at the same time, so doing that makes no sense to me.

      Recently had my RAM died on me and bought a new pair. I had a 16gb and the 32gb ones were on sale. Really felt the difference lol
