512 MB RAM The computer that I am using has 512 MB of RAM, is that good? This computer goes pretty fast, so I'm assuming that 512 MB of RAM is pretty good. The reason I ask this question is because I'm thinking of upgrading my RAM, and I'm not sure that if I upgrade I will be able to get a noticeable difference. Is 512 MB enough, or will upgrading it give my computer a huge performance boost? |
If youre running XP, 512Mb is pretty good. It all depends on what applications you are using and the other components in the computer, because a really good computer with 512Mb could use an upgrade. If you are playing alot of games and memory intensive appliactions, 1Gb would help a little. RAM is getting cheap, another 512 would only cost $40ish. Also, check your RAM speed, that will also effect the performance. -C |
I also have another question. I use dial up (boooo!), and will increasing the RAM make the Internet go faster, even though my connection is slow? When I play games, it goes relatively fast, I've haven't had much lagging, but online it takes such a long time to load pages. I'm pretty sure Internet speed completely depends on the connection, but I'm just wondering, because I will do anything to make this faster. |
512 RAM is ok, if your not playing high end games or using some rendering software. Upgrading it may increase your PCs performance, but will probably not do a lot on the net for you. Some sites that use video may run a little better, but general surfing won't be changed. |

512MB is becoming the pretty common-day number for recommened memory to be installed. I'd suggest 1GB if you are playing relatively intensive games at any decently sized resolution. There is a huge difference playing BF2 on 1GB compared to playing it on only 512MB. As for everyday browsing, you won't notice a difference. |
it really depends on which programs do u run, which games etc. in my case i think 512 wouldn't be too much, cause i have always got: photoshop, dreamweaver, illustrator and firefox open |
Yeah Like All Have Said Matters What You Are USing For... I Mean For Alot Of Bussiness 2 GB Is Stock And GAmers Normally Like 1 GB At lest. I Really HAte 512 MB of Ram, Wont Run BF2 Well Or Any Thing... S YEah I mean it's Around Middal. So Yeah I Recommend 1 GB Though. |
MrCodeDude, you can increase your internet connection speed. I used to get 40.0 and 38.8 kbps, but now i mainly get 50.0 and 45.5kbps. I increased it by using a few software and cleaning up my comp, which also made my comp way faster.:) |
