When you increase the amount of RAM, for example, from 1 GB to 2 GB, the computer starts to work much more fun. And how much memory is needed so that nothing slows down?
Instructions
Step 1
Typical motherboards contain a maximum of six memory slots. The maximum size of one plank is 32 GB. This means that you can install a maximum of 6 * 32 = 192 GB. If the board is simpler, then there are only four slots. This means the maximum is 128 GB.
Step 2
However, if the system is 32-bit, then the maximum is reduced to 4 GB. Such a system will never see it again. In fact, the available volume for technical reasons is even less - a little more than 3 GB. Switching to 64-bit will remove the limitation, but it will still be possible to deliver no more than specified in paragraph 1.
Check which system you have. Press Win + Pause, and you will see the inscription about 64-bit. If not, then you have 32-bit Windows.
Step 3
But your computer's performance won't grow with every gigabyte of RAM! Then it rests against the performance of the rest of the system components. Therefore, the ideal volume for a modern gaming computer is 8 GB. No more! And for an office computer, 4-6 GB is enough.
