It doesn't increase performance.I realise that increasing to 8GB would speed it up, but would going to 16GB make any noticeable difference over 8GB?
Depends on what you do with the pc.My laptop, a four year old HP Pavilion 14, has 4GB of RAM. It has the option to take up to 16GB. I realise that increasing to 8GB would speed it up, but would going to 16GB make any noticeable difference over 8GB?
As @faalin said in a recent post, if you "appear" to be using all available RAM, disable SysMain. It stops Windows pre-loading programs it thinks you might need, only to flush them out when you load something else. It made a difference on an old laptop with only 4GB RAM, before I upgraded to the maximum 8GB.Windows would occupy 4GB and Firefox eat the other 4 leaving me out of RAM even before I started any real program
Sometimes fitting a second SODIMM results in double the memory bandwidth if the BIOS switches from Single Channel to Dual Channel mode. Maybe only a 5% difference in real terms, but it can make Windows seem "snappier". You might not use the extra RAM, but you've made the memory interface faster.If your current workload/current apps work fine, then increasing ram wouldn't improve anything.
Go here and run the scanner see what it shows.It's an HP Pavilion 14-ce0524. It has removable RAM, and one slot.
