should i buy more RAM?

Question

My computer hiccups constently when doing hard core gamming and such.. should i purchase more ram or what???

Answer 1

Yes. Especially if you already have a graphics card. I bought more RAM to speed up World of Warcraft, worked wonders! It was like night and day!

There are multiple sites online that will tell you, based on your computer model, what type of RAM card is compatible with your machine, not to mention if you're even able to add RAM to your machine. You can usually buy them online right there, but I just wrote down all the numbers that it gave in reference to which card I needed and went to Best Buy and bought one. Of course, I'd shop around if I were you... I think I paid way too much.

More RAM never hurts anything. It's fun to have your computer be lightning fast! (I think anyway...)

Answer 2

May be a good idea, as there's (almost) no such thing as too much RAM (well, except WINDOWS XP Home + PRO are supposedly only capable of handling up to 1GB / 1024MB of the stuff)..... though it would be easier to give a straight answer if you'd stated the current specs of your PC.

Though it might be a good idea to give the system a checkover at http://www.pcpitstop.com/pcpitstop/ to make sure it isn't something else causing the problem before coughing up the money for more memory.

Answer 3

Yes you should buy Ram becasue it will speed up the PC rather than Buying Rom becasue Rom stores information and Ram will Speed up the System or your PC

Answer 4

Yes

Answer 5

it would be easier to tell if you told us how much ram you have at the moment... but more ram is never bad...

Answer 6

sounds like it

2G would be a good start.
