Solve : Will More Memory Speed Desktop Up?

Answer» <html><body><p>I know that I can install up to 16GB memory and I only have 8. Will adding memory increase my speed. If I remember correctly sometimes the system cannot utilize all the memory installed or I think that is right. I have been out to pasture a few years and can't remember the things I used to know. I am going to try to add an attachment of the specs. If I need to add more info I can. Thanks a million. <br/><br/>Hi <br/><br/>Adding an SSD, if you don't already have one will make a big difference to how fast the computer preforms.<br/><br/>Depending on your computer will determine the best drive to install in most cases one of these will work.<br/><br/><a href="https://www.samsung.com/semiconductor/minisite/ssd/product/consumer/860evo/">https://www.samsung.com/semiconductor/minisite/ssd/product/consumer/860evo/</a><br/>Or <br/><a href="https://www.wd.com/en-ie/products/internal-ssd/wd-blue-ssd.html">https://www.wd.com/en-ie/products/internal-ssd/wd-blue-ssd.html</a><br/><br/>A 250 gb SSD would be about the same <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/price-238017" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about PRICE">PRICE</a> as 8 GB of memory at the moment. <br/><br/>I thought of that but wasn't sure, thanks a <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/lot-770427" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about LOT">LOT</a> for the info, guess you are right when looking at the cost factor. I know I have a small c drive but most of my goodies are on external drives and the 250GB would be fine with me. <br/><br/>Thanks a millionAdd both...Are you experiencing some specific issues? If so, please <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/tell-1240910" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about TELL">TELL</a> us what they are. While more ram can never hurt, unless you are running some program(s) that heavily tax the system the likelihood of you noticing a significant difference by going from 8 to 16 Gb ram is small.

Just wanted to mention that if your CPU runs too hot, there would be a performance loss through Thermal Throttling. If your system starts off fast and then starts to get slower then I would look into what the CPU temp is measuring to rule out a thermal problem. This problem is more common with older processors, however its possible if the CPU heatsink is clogged with lint/dust <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/bunnies-403932" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about BUNNIES">BUNNIES</a> or a heat pipe fails on a better than cast aluminum heatsink. A CPU that runs too hot will underclock itself to run cooler and this causes the system to lag and become noticeably slower. Some systems even shutdown if they reach a specific temperature as a means to protect from CPU or APU meltdown, however the thermal throttling usually keeps a system away from the shutdown temperature. A tool like speedfan can be used to look at system temperatures.Just remembered a failing or nearly <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/full-1001178" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about FULL">FULL</a> hard drive can make the system run slowly. Prolly also a good time to do some file management  housekeeping and run all his protection scans...just sayin...</body></html>
