Memory

[robcentola]

Hey guys,

 

Well, it's time for another clueless question from me!

 

I have an Acer V5-552P-X617 with 6gigs of memory. It's pertty zippy, sounds OK, and pretty much a decent laptop for 500 bucks. Will adding more memory improve anything? I can expand up to 12 and I feel like doing something geeky and fun. I will be building a CAPS server in the spring, but I'm wondering what the advantages are for me to up upgrade now while I'm still using that laptop as a source.

 

Any recommendations on brand or type?

 

 

Thanks!

It won't help sound quality. If you use a player that loads into RAM then you have more to load, though again it isn't doing anything for you.

 

Now if the money is a non-issue and it would be fun as well as making you feel better....then go have fun. I would save the money from memory to go toward the CAPS server myself.

That was the responsible, rational answer I was afraid of. You're right. Damn logic!

 

Thanks esldude! You're one of the ones on here where I get info. When I understand that is. I'm getting there!
