• 8GB DDR3 RAM

Last week I bought 2 sticks of 8GB DDR3 RAM for my desktop PC. Before this, all I had was 2GB which is the bare minimum these days. After a few hours of browsing, I’ll be close to the limit and I could sense the OS thrashing my HDD’s pagefile. My system slows down considerably when my RAM limit is hit.

RAM prices are very cheap nowadays. So most people who are buying a new PC wouldn’t think twice of putting 8GB RAM into their CPUs.

My system feels a lot smoother and slightly faster with 8GB. Especially with multiple programs running at the same time. Switching back and forth with no lag. I could browse for days without closing the browser and have tons of memory left. My computer feels good again, I should have bought them earlier.
