Acer Aspire E1-510 - if I upgrade it with 8 GB RAM, will it be faster?

Kuhinja

Hi,

 

I have Acer Aspire E1-510, windows 10, intel celeron processor N2820, 2 GB DDR3. 

 

Since I bought it, it was slow for me. I was wondering if I upgrade it to 8 GB of RAM, will it make a difference in speed? Or it depends on the type of processor mostly? 

 

I need an advice.

Don't think that one can do 8gb but 4gb I think. Thought I read had 2gb on board so can add 2gb or 4gb stick for 6gb total? No 6gb ram sticks for it and 8gb stick won't live with the 2gb on board happily.  Speed is several things, CPU, ram and hard drive. Of all of these currently the ssd hard drives make the biggest noticeable difference. So if you have a choice the ssd hard drive will help the most. Why? Windows still uses a cache for data on hard drive and programs are larger. Faster drive speeds up windows in both these operations. Next 4gb is recommended for Win10. CPU you have is not upgradable so it is what it is but compared to those of several years ago is quite powerful.
