WHY UPGRADE YOUR SPEED?
A memory upgrade can breathe new life into your PC, allowing you to run more applications and tabs smoothly, increase frame rates in games, and boost productivity tools. The more you do with your desktop, the more beneficial a memory upgrade will feel.
Increasing memory capacity can also enable higher in-game detail settings that weren’t possible before, while CPU-intensive applications will benefit from faster operating frequencies.

What to look for in Computer RAM
Here’s what to consider when shopping for RAM modules:
- Memory size: Available as single sticks (4GB–48GB) or in kits (e.g., 2×16GB, 2×32GB). In general, more RAM improves performance for demanding tasks.
- Generation: DDR3 and DDR4 are older standards that may still be useful depending on your system. For the best speeds, efficiency, and future compatibility, choose DDR5.
- Tested speed: RAM is rated for a specific tested speed (e.g., 6000 MHz). Make sure your motherboard and CPU can support that speed; otherwise, it will run at a lower default setting.
- Voltage and compatibility: Dial in the right voltage for your system, and be sure to filter by PC, Mac, and Laptop footprints.
- Design: If you like visual flair, consider RAM modules with RGB lighting that complement your build’s look.
How much RAM does a gaming PC need?
How much RAM is “enough”? Your processor and your graphics card play just as much of a role in how well your system can keep up with your gaming and productivity needs. With that said, more RAM is typically better for “future-proofing” your system. Most average gamers will be satisfied with 16GB right now, but as games get more demanding, 32GB will become more standard. 8GB will work in a pinch, but you’ll feel that churn in heavy video rendering situations.
