Topic	So right now I have an i3 with 4GB of RAM, do you think it would be a good boost
AllstarSniper32 11/13/17 2:38:12 AM #6:	funkyfritter posted... Only if a lack of RAM is your bottleneck, which isn't very likely unless you have hundreds of tabs open constantly. How do you even check what's causing the bottleneck? I don't have hundreds of tabs open, but I do notice slowdown when doing things like video editing. Or just after playing a game my PC seems to run slower until I restart it. I also feel like I should get a new HDD. Doctor Foxx posted... Yes it would be pretty noticeable most likely I figured it would after learning that RAM is actually important. I just forgot that it is an option to upgrade things like that and not just upgrade the whole PC XD Yellow posted... 4gb of ram to 8gb is a huge jump that would probably help you with a lot of things. As long as your GPU is good. Old (multi-core) CPUs these days are pretty typically acceptable, even though I don't know what i3 you have. It depends on what gen games you're playing. 8th gen is where you need 8gb of RAM. My GPU is a GTX 960 My CPU is an i3-4130 SushiSquid posted... 8 will help. I would upgrade the CPU before spending the money on 16. I was going to upgrade my whole pc, except the GPU, but I think that with my current job, I won't be doing that any time soon so I just thought maybe I could upgrade smaller parts like RAM first. my mobo only has 2 RAM slots in it. I figured if it wasn't to expensive, I could just get 2 8GB sticks. --- If the people only understood the rank injustice of our money and banking systems, there would be a revolution before morning - Andrew Jackson <cite>AllstarSniper32 posted [p:890289241] in So right n...
