    Question I need to upgrade my RAM - advice please.

    Thank you for your response. Crucial is the one I am choosing and I used their compatibility page. I was just more concerned that the larger and faster RAM might make the system more unstable and I think it was greater draw od power that seemed to cause the issues in the past and I have just...

    Question I need to upgrade my RAM - advice please.

    I play high intensity video games too. So I use my computer for both work and play. My main issue is if there could be a problem if I install the RAM, rather than if it can always perform at that speed. I just don't want any negative effects from it. But as the ones I want only cost $10 more...

    Question I need to upgrade my RAM - advice please.

    would there be a way that you could look at my most recent comment. I more need to know if there would be an issue likely if I upgrade. I definitely need one.

    Question I need to upgrade my RAM - advice please.

    I play MMOs too and as a gaming laptop is designed for instense graphics and rendering it is also perfect for my design software. I really need higher RAM, no question about it anyway. That has been my plan from day one anyway. I just wanted to make sure that upgrading to 64MB with 5600 speed...

    Question I need to upgrade my RAM - advice please.

    A couple of years ago I had an ASUS ROG gaming computer and it had that common issue at the time where it would stop charging (it would happen to me if I tried to game on high settings or had more than one program open). It would be plugged in. First time it fixed itself after rolling back...

    Question Unsure whether worth to go above 4800 RAM

    Thank you. It seems that it can, but the one that worked allows automatic overclocking and that is something I don't want to do if it can cause the computer to get hot. Right now it is okay and runs the games I play fine even at the 16gb. But I don't play at quite the highest settings although...

    Question Unsure whether worth to go above 4800 RAM

    I know that it supports 64 ram and 4800. I just thought that with it being i9 13th gen then it would also work with 5600, but I also don't want any crashing. Is there a big difference between 4800 and 5600 with 2x 32 GB RAM DDR5 because if it really doesn't make a difference or that can be...

    My apologies for asking this question if it has already been addressed but I would like to be more sure in regards to my particular laptop. I have a ASUS ROG laptop: Strix G18 - G814JZ - G18.194080 It came with 16GB RAM (2x 8GB cards at 4800) but is upgradable to 64 GB RAM and as I use it for...

    Question Need new gaming laptop -struggling to choose

    I decided to go with the alienware with the 4080 and 32 ram. I know the screen quality isn't as good, but I am really hesitant to buy an ASUS as my experience with my last one, although a beautiful looking, and very cool (in terms of running temps) piece. I hope that I won't be disappointed...

    Question Need new gaming laptop -struggling to choose

    I can't really wait as I also have pending graphic design work to complete. I have the following 2 in mind, but my concern is that they limit gpu wattage to 150 so is having a 4080 worth it if they limit wattage. I was leaning toward the MSI due to screen quality and Intel, but the Alienware has...

    Lagging after laptop too hot

    Thanks so much. Actually it was the first time my computer ended up majorly overheating last year when I changed the thermal paste and although it made a small difference I still cannot play games in full screen mode (but I understand laptops are not really made for gaming (at least not this...

    Hello, I have an acer aspire laptop, amd 4 core 4 RAM, with a 1GB dedicated AMD Radeon Mobility 5650 card. From the earliest time my computer has always felt really hot when I use it (my nephew in the UK also has an Acer and his is the same). I was playing WoW on full screen and smelled...
