Will the RAM extension

I ordered a new RAM extension for my notebook a few days ago. My RAM currently is 4GB and after the upgrade it will be 12GB. Will the notebook run reasonably better then? Many say that it is because of the RAM, that he works so laggy.

4 GB of RAM are really scarce today, no matter what the application.

It may well be that it works a bit faster, but maybe the CPU is too weak.

You can look in the task manager but what's busy there. Maybe also the disk.

Is it not easy to say or remote diagnostics? We only know how much RAM you had and will have. But nothing about processor, video card, hard drive etc.

With the extension of Ram you have to look, that they have the same clocking and are all DDR3 Ram bars or all DDR4 Ram bars. DDR3 does not fit on the connection of DDR4.

Allgm is always said that the new Ram should be exactly the same model from the same manufacturer. But it does not have to, they should be clocked the same way

I can't say much about your point that your Pc is "laggy". There's simply no information (for example, even when he is laggy particular or only under certain conditions, etc.)

Should it. Yes 4gb are too few. I do not know what you do with it, but to play anyway too little and if you work a lot on the Internet and many pages on too little. But if you go to 8gb that's enough. Do not forget that you always need to lock an even number with the same amount of memory to use dualchannel.

Otherwise, ssd also helps very well, since a 2.5 inch hdd is quite slow. The pc not only drives up fast, but is also smoother in operation.
