At the moment I'm running 4 gigabytes Patriot sector five memory. I've noticed recently that my system sometimes runs a little bit slow and wondered if adding 4GB more would make a massive difference. I'm assuming I need to keep to the same type of memory and if that is the case then I can pick 4 gigabytes extra up for £44.
is it worth it?
cheers for any advice
 
Thanks everybody for the replies, I am wondering whether it's time to think about upgrading my system. One of the programs that I do run which I didn't mention is a voice recognition program which apparently needs a lot of L3 cache. On one of the voice recognition forums the resident computer expert only suggests Intel processors because of their greater cache. If I was to upgrade however that would be quite expensive and would involve me changing my RAM, motherboard and processor. How much would I have to spend to see a significant improvement in my system?
Once again any help is much appreciated :-)
 
For what its worth I've just found 8gb of the same RAM for £55 - checked and motherboard can support up to 16GB RAM, so its simply a case of installing in the remaining two slots??
