A: Booting - more RAM won't improve boot times Launching of applications - more RAM will give no particular improvement * Why? The operations above are mostly limited by the read speed of the hard drive, not RAM The operations above are mostly limited by the read speed of the hard drive, not RAM Notice how you hear the hard drive chunking away continuously when you boot or launch an app? As long as you have adequate RAM for the OS to boot, more RAM is not going to get the files loaded any faster. What more RAM will do for you is to save the machine from having to hit the Swap files (virtual memory file) as often. When you open more programs and data than your machine has installed RAM enough to hold, then the operating system is forced to write some of the data in the memory space to the hard drive to make room - called swapping. Then when that data is needed again, it has to write something else to the HD, and read back in the swapped out data. Because a hard drive is many, many times slower than RAM, this slows the whole machine down while it waits for the data to be swapped in and out. So, if you only ever use one small program, then more RAM will likely not change a thing (because you were never overflowing the available RAM to start with.) BUT if you do a lot of multitasking, or open programs with a large amount of data, or switch frequently from one program to another, then more RAM should make a noticeable difference in speed (by eliminating some or all of the swapping) Some programs, like Photoshop. digital audio and digital video production software, can take advantage of extra RAM to cache data internally and these programs will run faster as a result. * but if you have a lot of startup items, or if you already have programs open and you are opening more, then there could be some speedup in booting or launching, simply because you are already hitting the RAM limit and starting to page data to the swap file. http://computer.howstuffworks.com/virtual-memory.htm http://chaseconsulting.blogspot.com/2008/03/benefits-of-adding-more-ram-to-your-pc.html Do you have a question?
