A memory upgrade is typically the easiest & least expensive way to boost your computers performance. While any time is good to add more memory, there are some scenarios in which adding a memory upgrade makes great sense & can dramatically improve your computers performance: Youve upgraded your operating system (OS). Youve installed memory-intensive software like photo-editing or a 3-D video game. You work with large files or with three or more programmes at a time. Youve added hardware, such as a new processor or a video card. Youve purchased a new computer that came with too little system memory.
