how and how much is it to add ram to a slow computer?

Question

want to play online games with friends,but am being told that i don't really have enough speed to do so.thanx in advance for any help you may give

Answer 1

it depends on what pc you have as to what memory you need eg: SDR,DDR DDRII . you will probably find it is talking mainly about your internet connection speed though

Answer 2

depends on your specs

we need to know CPU speed and how much ram you already have.

Your graphic card have an impact too.


If you have XP, you need at least 1go of RAM to be "fine"
Adding more would be only a slight upgrade in speed. Except on games like Bf2 that use much memory..2go are better for those games.

Answer 3

To add ram to a slow computer is about 170.00 dollars for every 1 gig of ram that you add. I t depends how old your computer is and what type you will need. It is usually better to invest in a new computer and add a dedicated video card.

Answer 4

Is the "speed" you are talking about for your computer, or your Internet connection. If it's your Internet connection, adding more RAM will not fix that...you will have to upgrade your actual connection. If you want more RAM, check out http://www.crucial to find out what kind your computer takes.

Not sure of the specifics of your pc but I just bought 2 memory chips (cards) at refurb.com. I bought 2 at $50.each they were258 gb I think anyway I cannot believe how fast my pc is now plus cleaning it up really helped also.My pc is 5 yrs old.Hope this helped some.Oh I put them in myself, it is a no brainer

Answer 6

You have not said how much RAM is on your PC. Normally for gamers 512MB is OK and 1GB in best.
