Adding more memory to your computer is often the most cost-effective and convenient way to give your computer a significant performance boost. Many computers are sold with a minimum amount of RAM installed, and installing extra RAM can help your computer boot faster, load applications faster and enable you to have more open at the same time, and work with images and videos significantly faster.

For Windows XP, we recommend a minimum of 1GB of RAM be installed, and 2GB if you always have a lot of applications open. For Windows Vista, our minimum recommendation is 2GB, and 4GB if you are a power user. If you play modern 3D computer games, we recommend installing the maximum amount of RAM that you can afford.
