Increasing your RAM can speed up your computer, especially if you use memory-intensive programs such as computer games, video editing software, or multitasking with multiple applications and browser tabs open at the same time.
More RAM allows you to store more data for quick access, which reduces the need to use a slower hard drive.
However, increasing the RAM will not always bring a significant speedup if other computer components are outdated or slow.
It can speed up your computer, but you must have an adequate processor and graphics card. It is also worth having an SSD drive, magnetic drives are already outdated technology.
I had a laptop with 16gb ram, now i have 32gb ram and i don't see any difference. Maybe it makes a difference if you have very little, say 4GB, and you upgrade to 12 or 16.
