00:00:00.240 --> 00:00:09.320
ah I need more RAM that will make my computer go faster also I can download

00:00:04.920 --> 00:00:12.840
it at www.d downloador RAM.com and wrong

00:00:09.320 --> 00:00:15.440
more RAM can improve performance and

00:00:12.840 --> 00:00:20.199
there was a time when it almost always would but those days are gone modern

00:00:18.279 --> 00:00:25.439
computers even ones that are 2 to 3 years old often have enough RAM for the

00:00:22.720 --> 00:00:29.679
basic tasks that users want to perform so how would you tell if slow system

00:00:27.880 --> 00:00:34.559
responsiveness is being caused by not enough memory check out the performance

00:00:32.079 --> 00:00:39.399
Monitor and task manager in this example we see that Linus's available RAM is

00:00:37.040 --> 00:00:44.280
very very low we can also check processes as a diagnostic tool and we'll

00:00:41.239 --> 00:00:47.320
see that Linus has way too many Chrome

00:00:44.280 --> 00:00:49.480
tabs open if Linus Clos some Chrome tabs

00:00:47.320 --> 00:00:53.000
that would free up memory but if he's not willing to change his internet

00:00:50.840 --> 00:00:57.440
browsing habits adding more memory to that system would help improve

00:00:54.840 --> 00:01:02.559
performance now personally I generally notice system slowdowns when I reach

00:00:59.199 --> 00:01:05.000
around 80 to 90% RAM utilization but

00:01:02.559 --> 00:01:09.640
some people are more or less sensitive to this in this second example there is

00:01:07.560 --> 00:01:13.640
no benefit whatsoever to adding more memory because there's plenty available

00:01:11.479 --> 00:01:17.840
to the system the slowdowns that you experience when you run out of RAM are

00:01:15.520 --> 00:01:22.759
because your PC is swapping data out of RAM to your hard drive which is much

00:01:20.400 --> 00:01:26.880
much slower this other system is likely slow for some other reason such as a

00:01:24.720 --> 00:01:31.759
virus or other malware or another outdated slow component if your software

00:01:29.479 --> 00:01:36.960
is fine and you have enough RAM try adding an SSD to your system moving from

00:01:34.000 --> 00:01:41.240
a hard drive to an SSD can make your PC much more responsive even if it's

00:01:38.799 --> 00:01:45.680
several years old if none of that works you might just be too much of a power

00:01:43.240 --> 00:01:49.520
user for your current PC so it might be time for a system upgrade so guys don't

00:01:47.920 --> 00:01:53.200
