Question about RAM
Hi, I am thinking about buying a new RAM for my laptop. My question is, what type of ram would be the best for my laptop? DDR3?DDR4? and also what speed would be the best? (budget is $ 100)
Right now I have 4 GB ram DDR3 @ 665 Mhz 9-9-9-24 . And I have 3 slots available.
So, which would be the best option.
2 x 4 GB ram
or
1 x 8 GB ram
If I have enough money left I might fill all the 4 slots with 4 GB ram in all the slots.
Why do I need that much ram?
I use Auto CAD a lot and that thing is a memory killer. Right now my windows is using 2.55 GB of ram with nothing running except chrome (1 tab). If I open Auto CAD right now it use all 4 GB RAM and my computer will run very slow.
Also 1 quick question. If I buy a 120 GB SSD, how much GB is available if I use windows 8? because on paper it tells my HDD is 500 GB and in properties it tells 421 GB.
