Installing more RAM will not make your computer run faster.
While increasing the amount of RAM in your computer can significantly improve its performance when you have insufficient RAM, it won't make your computer run faster beyond a certain point. RAM (Random Access Memory) is responsible for temporarily storing data that the computer is actively using. When you run multiple applications or perform memory-intensive tasks, having enough RAM prevents your system from slowing down due to excessive use of the slower storage drive. However, if you already have sufficient RAM to handle your daily tasks, adding more won't result in a noticeable performance boost.
The reason for this limitation lies in how modern operating systems manage memory. Once the computer has enough RAM to handle its current workload, additional RAM won't be actively utilized, and the system will prioritize using the faster cache memory and storage drive for data retrieval. In essence, adding more RAM beyond what your system requires is like buying a larger backpack when you only carry a few items; it won't make your journey faster.
Instead of focusing solely on RAM upgrades, consider other factors that may be affecting your computer's speed, such as the processing power (CPU), the speed and type of storage drive (e.g., switching from HDD to SSD), and potential software issues (e.g., background processes, malware). Performing regular maintenance, optimizing software settings, and managing unnecessary startup programs can also help to improve overall system performance.
