So i was thinking if i should upgade 12gb of ram to 16gb or my intel i5 processor to i7?(pretty much i just want to know which one would be more efficient)Posted on 09 June 2015 - 02:58 AM
Leave your RAM, you're probably not even hitting 8 GB let alone 12. If you can do things fine on your computer with your i5 then there's no reason wasting money to upgrade to an i7 processor imo.Posted on 11 June 2015 - 04:24 PM
@D4rkWolf specs?Posted on 11 June 2015 - 06:20 PM

Give your full specs pls.
But 12gb is enough ram, I only have 8gb and I can have ~10 programs open with no performance decrease. Also, if you didn't know RAM has no performance change

@13thedude Don't give him help if you don't know what you're doing, which it clearly shows that you don't.Posted on 12 June 2015 - 06:26 AM

?? RAM doesn't affect performance… Unless you have a lot of things open. A better processor would be wayyy better

In this, you are implying you can 10 programs open because you have 8 GB of ram.

@SticksOnSticks RAM helps you have better performance with more things running…

Well my source is prior knowledge… But Upgrading a computer's processor increases its speed, no matter if you use a computer for basic tasks or intensive processing. Additional RAM, on the other hand, does not improve speed directly. Your computer will slow down noticeably any time it runs low on RAM, because this forces it to read data directly from the hard drive. But if you have enough RAM for the programs you use to never run out, adding more won't provide an additional benefit.
