Ram upgrade with dual core cpu

[Michael saliveross]

So I have 4gb ram now and I want to upgrade to 8gb but I have a dual core celeron g1840 will I see any improvement to 8gb with this cpu cause I dont have enough money to upgrade my cpu for now.

what's is your make and model of your motherboard, it will dictate if it can be upgraded to 8gb of ram.

To know if you'll see an improvement, you can run the following test:
While you're doing whatever, run task manager in the back round. If your RAM usage is 90-100 percent, then the RAM upgrade would help you. Otherwise, it's best to put that money towards a new CPU or maybe even GPU depending on what you're doing.
To know what you'll need to upgrade next, here's another experiment:
Get HWiNFo. It will monitor just about everything you'll ever want to know about your system except FPS.
Like task manager, run it in the back round while you doing your stuff.
Take note of the percent usage on:
Each CPU thread
The RAM
The GPU
Whichever one hits 90-100 percent is what you want to upgrade.

My mobo is asus h81m-c and the max support is 16gb my current gpu is rx 460 with celeron g1840 but when I played witcher 3 I was getting a little shuttering due ram the cpu usage was like 95 or below but it was running fine

It looks liek your CPU may be the culprit. You said your CPU usage was up to 95%, but what was the useage of your other components? That will let us say wich part is the problem for sure.

The ram is the problem i look at it cause when i run games that want 8gb recommend the usage is like 95 or a little above

Then yes the RAM will help you.
