[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1699205, member: 56379"] Probably expecting too much.;) It's still a 5 year-old computer. Yes a 16gig ram & SSD upgrade can help the computer feel faster. But if you don't need more than say 4gig of ram for what you do…having 16gig will not make things faster. And regarding the SSD. An SSD makes retrieving info to & from the computers storage faster. But doesn't make the actual processing of tasks faster (the computers CPU and GPU remain the same)...before & after the upgrades. As far as running slower than before the upgrade. There's really no way for us to properly discuss this without some numbers. Run some sort of benchmark tests so we have some before & after numbers to compare. - Nick [/QUOTE]
