Your opinions please: buy more RAM, or time for a new PC?
Hi guys, I'm in a bit of a quandry and I'm not sure what to do next. I've had my desktop PC since 2007, and over the years I've increased by RAM from 2GB to 4GB, and got a new [for its time] graphics card (the one I'm using in my specs now) - and I got Windows 7 [64-bit] when it came out. But now my computer is still going quite sluggish at times, and I was wondering if getting extra RAM would help matters; I know you'll probably say "yes!" to this, but - not knowing much about the CPU - I don't know if my aging CPU [being only duel-core which was OK back in the day] can also affect a computer's performance. I do enjoy playing games, but I'm not sure if my motherboard and CPU [and I doubt my HDD has enough space for any more games] would be able to cope with any more. I guess getting extra RAM would be a good bet, but would it be best to start again and buy a new computer, or can I manage for now? I'm on a tight budget, so I don't know if buying a new PC outweighs the pros of buying more RAM for the sake of keeping the old girl going. Any suggestions would be of great help to me.
