You do realises that RAM memory is only temporary and that once you shut down your computer it deletes everything on it..

If you mean you want to overclock your RAM then thats different, but it doesn't have a huge affect so its not worth doing.

I hope your not another one of those people who think, "Oh my computer is getting slow, NEED MORE RAM!!!!!!!!!" Winky Winky

Seriously, people don't realize there are other possible issues with the computer causing it to be "so" slow.

If you want a temp small boost to help speed things up a little bit, take a flash drive and use it as virtual memory. This can help slightly. If you are having all these problems, you most likely will either need a newer video card or a new computer.

Also make sure you are not auto loading a bunch of programs on startup, this will have a huge impact on the performance and ram usage.

Download a program to increase RAM?

Please send me a link to this website, so I can personally shove my 50 pound computer where the sun don't shine.

A video card does not have much effect only while running a large amount of applications such as Sony Vegas, etc. As you may well know that Mac's and their infamous Intel integrated graphics still perform fine with intense applications.

The main cause is in fact: RAM and the CPU in your computer.

RAM does make a difference regardless what people want to believe. There is a reason that I went with 16GB of RAM on this gaming rig, because it gets used quickly. Just as I am typing this my PC is using up 20% of my RAM from backround processes. That sums up to 3.2GB.

This is good advice.
