For speeding up your computer? In my opinion, No. Unless you use some heavy weight applications, such as Photoshop, video edition, or very huge and complicated document editing.

Windows can use the extra ram for it's file cache. But, in reality, 512mb is enough for most people unless you play games or uses apps like Photoshop.

No. Usually, if you have more RAM, the starting up would be longer.

| 31 Jan, 2006 9:45 pm Will RAM really help speed your computer up? |
[sdp=69736] |

YES, YES , YES,,
one simple reason, if you think about RAM and what it does,,Ram takes information from the HDD, before it goes to the Processor,,Well, Windows is suppose to do Multi tasking.. well, The less Ram you have,, The less Multi tasking you will be able to do with it,, cause if your RAM is Small in amount,, and your multi tasking..(we all do it) You will(WILL) run out of RAM.. when you run out of RAM.. it starts taking information from the HDD,, when it does that, it will slow your machine down(cause your HDD is slower than your RAM..and if you use large Programs your going to run out faster, and if you use a large program and a smaller program and so on so yes RAM is important.. (GET MORE RAM) it will help.. get the right RAM though...

start up depends alot on what you have loading at start up.. and also what test you are having you computer running at start up.. if you have the system checking the RAM at start up it will slow the pc down,, there are settings in BIOS you can disable that will speed up start up.. and there are services you can disable from the admin controls to speed up start up.. so will adding RAM slow your computer down.. Not the RAM itself.. only if you dont diable test setting in BIOS
(even with that you have to ask your self,, slow start up or benefits from RAM while trying to use your computer)
