How Much RAM

Posted: 1 year ago

Random access memory is one of the most important parts of your computing devices. You can think of it as small amounts of fast storage. As you open programs, it stores data you need quick access to in system memory. Adding more RAM doesn’t always mean a faster computer, so finding an amount based on the computer and applications you run is key. Here are some good guidelines you can follow:

4GB: Some tablets and low-end computers default to 4GB of RAM for a base model. In truth, 4GB should only be considered if on an extreme budget and is not recommended.

8GB: Entry-level notebooks generally start out with 8GB of ram. If you’re doing basic Windows tasks, this may be fine. However, it can rapidly run out of energy.

16GB: This is where things pick up. 16GB is appropriate for Windows and MacOS systems if the programs you use aren’t RAM heavy. It will generally do the trick for most.

32GB: Perfect for any professional. You can see major performance improvement and can run multiple programs at once.

64GB and up: This is reserved for computers with a purpose! Whether you’re an engineer or in need of ram to handle heavy editing software, this is a good option only in specific workspaces.
