It is of no doubt that RAM is a very important determining factor of a computer’s performance. This is why a lot of desktop and PC owners automatically turn to RAM upgrades when their machines show signs of slowing down. But before you go down that road, ask yourself whether spending money on adding RAM will really result in added performance.
If you still have a computer with a 1GB of RAM or less, upgrading your memory is a no-brainer. The only exception might be if you only use your computer for very simple tasks, and one at a time. However, if you need to create an Excel file, browse the internet and stream a video you may want to consider a RAM upgrade.
