[QUOTE="JUGGY, post: 915268, member: 2242"] Faster application loading and switching will happen with an SSD, RAM will allow you to have more applications loaded. An SSD will also allow a faster pagefile. Easy way to check what RAM you are running is run CPU-Z, you don't need to open the machine. There is a TAB that will tell you exactly what RAM is currently in the machine. Most laptops have a removable panel underneath to get to the RAM although some are more difficult in that you have to remove the keyboard. If the machine is 5 years old I reckon it is DDR3 https://www.cpuid.com/softwares/cpu-z.html Also, the faster your disk is the less RAM you will use as the pagefile will in most likelihood become more active due to disk speed. Run CPU-Z, check what RAM you have and then we can take it from there [/QUOTE]
