If i upgraded my laptop from 512mb of RAM to 2GB of RAM would i notice much difference in speed? I expect it would but i was told it would not affect it that much.
Please help Thanks

Jump to PostIf you play games, you will feel the difference, if you're using some simple programs then you will not (MS Office etc.).
Study what is RAM for, and you will have no more questions about it, thrust me!
Simple as that!!!
Jump to PostSystem speed relies on three parts, the processor, the hard drive, and the ram. If your processor and hard drive and on par with a 512 system then upgrading the RAM wont do much good, though a jump from 512 to 2gigs is of course still going to be noticeable.
