  1. Will doubling my ram, 8gb to 16gb ddr3 eliminate the problem with windows background...


    Hello,

    I'm hoping to upgrade right now, I'm hanging onto an older computer I've continued to rebuild. Here is the system:

    AMD Phenom II Processor 3200 MHz, 6 cores

    8GB DDR3 Ram

    SSD and HDD combination of multiple hard drives



    I use this computer as a recording and mixing device for audio, if I double the ram will it be able to handle more simultaneous tasks? Multiple plugin VST's as well as outboard hardware.

    The reason I ask this question, is as Microsoft processes seem to be taking up quite a bit of processing power and ram, my system is solid, no real lags, no crashes, but occasionally the workload is to great and it does crash. Not the entire computer, but the one program crashes. My main problem is recording through multiple effects, if I have several types of effects on a track and I'm trying to record, the system lags.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated thanks

    Upgrading RAM to 12GB or 16GB?

    Hi everyone:

    I have this machine:

    Intel DB75EN...........it has 8GB of DDR3 RAM..... it's an older i5-2400 at 3ghz.

    I acidentally (nice) discovered there's still a chance to improve RAM...I can't buy or afford a newer PC.

    Amazon has Crucial DDR3 and they fit my machine in the specs checker they have.

    I recently added an Crucial SSD and have Windows 10 installed there. It boots better and folders open faster than the HDD.

    However, apps aren't faster at all. Just Windows.

    The machine has 2 sticks of 4GB installed which make the 8GB. Going from 8GB to 12GB........will it make a difference?

    Or it's better to go to 16GB?.

    If I could I would to go to 32GB.......the machine specs says it supports up to 32GB RAM (however I can't afford it), since they're DDR3, they are older and are NOT cheap. I can only afford up to 16GB.

    Should I make the effort to get 16GB or will 12GB be good?

    Thanks so much for your suggestions.

    8gb out of 16gb of my ram is Usable?

    I checked. The OP's RAM is Crucial 16GB Kit (2 x 8GB) DDR3L-1600 UDIMM CT7347625 | 760GMA-P34 (FX) | Crucial.com, which is a kit Crucial recommends for his motherboard.

    I'm at a loss to explain why CPU-Z lists the RAM as single channel. It ought to be dual, if the CPU/motherboard are functioning properly.

    My own systems are AMD at the moment, but they are Socket AM4 rather than AM3+. At the level at which I play with the BIOS settings, they aren't significantly different from the Intel boards I've used in the past.
