Would a RAM Upgrade do any good?

barely youd get much more of a boost if you bought a new gpu honestly, but yeah ram definitely does help on some games (minecraft)

Just for games? sorry no. you wouldn't notice any fps increase

It won't help. Problem is in your video card, if you want to play games with good graphics and on a normal resolution you should upgrate it first.

o.O
1st gen core i5?

You might get more bang for you buck with...
"ASRock FM2A85X Extreme6 with AMD A10-5800K Trinity on the inexpensive side.
ASRock 990FX Extreme3 with AMD FX-8150 Zambezi for only a few bucks more."....
than you would with a new intel cpu, and as far as the RAM upgrade, you won't notice anything other than missing money.
The built in video on the AMD A10 APU is higher than your discrete card, it is an HD 7660D.

ahahah no.

Unless you're currently using up all of your RAM when playing games, there's no benefit from adding more. Open up your task manager while playing a game, and check the memory usage on the performance tab. If you're not using it all up, you don't need more.

Unless you are doing stuff with video editing, more ram will not help. As others have said, a better video card would do much more for gaming.

Go for a 7770, 7850, 7870, 7950 or even a 7970. Also make sure its at least a 256bit card, that does make a big difference over a 128bit card.

My friend got 14-16 ram and he says that he can browse his internet fast. but i recommend 8 gb tho

well i'm essentially screwed because i had the great idea of getting a laptop

You're probably fine with the ram you have. About the only issue I think you will run into is background programs taking longer to come back to the front when your'e done gaming, or when you alt-tab.

No problem, you can just download more ram.

isent a HD 7520G an integrated card with the amd processor, with no dedicated memory?

4GB-8GB is enough for stanard users. Unless you're using high-quality video editing applications or such. You're most likely bottle-necked at the video card. Most games/programs are optimized to not have any ram leaks where 8GB alone would be enough. There might be an exception if you have three monitors running with games/video processing on all of them at the same time though.

4 GB is all you should need, 8 is good for next year at least, 16 is if you develop graphics or do editing. So no, 6 is enough, upgrade won't do much.

Pretty much what everyone has said, 4+ is plenty for 80% of consumers. Unless you are doing some kind of special thing other then gaming, you dont need more ram.

There is no need, unless as said before High Quality (3D 1080P) video editing is taking place. I have 3GB of RAM and my system can play any game I throw at it. I also have numerous tabs open all the time without the slightest lag. I, of course, use Linux, so add about 3GB extra if you use Windows, to run it.

Nope, not at all.

Why is the RAM the most focused spec by random people when it's actually the less important one..

Unless if you're going to run 4 crysis 3 at once.... Well, no.

Ram it

If that card is "integrated" and uses RAM to increase its VRAM, as most cards, such as Intel HD 3000 do, then you would certainly see some improvement. It would probably load larger textures faster, allowing you to use higher resolutions, or use lower ones at higher performance.

remember back the day I first play GTA vice city on my very old PC with 128MB. Besides of the slowing, It didn't appear the glowing ring to start the mission as well lol. After upgrading to 256, the problem was solved.

However in your case, I dont think 6gb to 8gb could make any different in gaming

I would assume you have a laptop. Get a new one already. The new GeForce models are looking to be better.

If you had like 2gb(me...) ,yes it would increase performance,but with 6 gb you don't need more at the moment.

Just MONITOR your normal use and 'max' use (opening some regularly used programs at the same time), and you will get the value YOU need in ram. If you have a lot of mem use in the swap file, you can upgrade your ram (and you know then by how much). But you will likely see that your 6BG ram is sufficient.

For games there is no need to upgrade. You are better off upgrading your GPU
