Hello, first-time poster and not a computer guru by any means so any help would be greatly appreciated.
I'm looking into upgrading my RAM to help with the occasional lag hoping it results in a snappier response. While researching this topic I came across CPU ID CPU-Z's benchmark test and it revealed some surprising results that I'm trying to make sense of. I'm getting a score of 914 (CPU multi thread) where the processor that my computer is equipped with draws 3256 - 4814 on other sites. Perhaps I don't know how to read the results or maybe I'm misinterpreting the numbers I'm reading elsewhere but isn't this pretty low? Using UserBenchmark.com's test, my benchmark says, "missing ssd."
About a year after purchasing my computer, my hard drive failed and I replaced it with a compatible version. Now, I am wondering if I swapped hard drives correctly and/or if there is something I need to complete to ensure my system runs as smoothly as possible.
I don't know what information is pertinent but here's some info:
