In Windows 8 and Mountain Lion powered Laptop Computers, the question of how much RAM a modern system needs is hitting my inbox with increased speed.
Below is my guide to how much RAM you need to increase speed .
Note : that dual-channel motherboards will support 1GB, 2GB, 4GB, 8GB, and 16GB of RAM, depending on motherboard, while triple-channel boards support 3GB, 6GB, 9GB, or 12GB,again depending on motherboard support.
About 3 - 4 GB :-
If you're running a 32-bit operating system then with 4 or 3GB of RAM installed you'll only be able to access around 3.2 GB (giga-bite). However, with a 64-bit operating system then you'll have full access to the whole 4GB.
The difference in performance between a system with 2 GB of RAM and one with 3 or 4GB is like day and night. Even on a 32-bit system that limits the RAM to a little over 3GB, the performance boost is well worth the cost. Not only do application play faster, you can read more applications simultaneously handy if you run suites like Microsoft Office 2013 or Adobe Collection.
If you have a 64-bit operating system, then bumping up the RAM from 2GB is a no-brainer.
All but the most basic of Microsoft Windows 8 systems come with 3 or 4GB of RAM, while 4GB is the minimum for all new iMacs, MacBooks, and Red Hat Linex.
