[QUOTE="tobywuk, post: 538060, member: 31239"] He is right, RAM does not speed up your computer. The only thing RAM does is determin the ammount of applications and processes you run. If you Run lots of applications and you upgread your RAM it will seem faster because it can cope with more processes running at the same time and does not have to use Swap space which slows the whole procss down. You have to remember the use of swap files is only a back up procedure if your system runs out of RAM. With out Swap Space your computer would just crash if you go over the RAM limit. [/QUOTE]
