Hi. I am wanting to upgrade the ram on my levono thinkcentre as its slooooow as. RAM seems to be constantly 80%+ so I assume by upgrading it, i should see some benefits?

 

The computer is only used for web surfing and microsoft office. Specs are pretty poor. E5700 CPU, 2gb ram, and 250gb harddrive. 

 

I tried searching for info and had trouble finding if 4 or 8gb was the max. Also there are so many types, speeds, low voltage, buffed, etc etc and i really dont know what to get!

 

Using CPU-Z it gives this info for RAM: DDR3 PC3-8500F(533mhz) Samsung 1.5V

 

Ideally i want to upgrade to 8gb if its not overly expensive and if it is worth while doing.

 

Thanks in advance for any advice





3.06ghz Celeron(gonna overclock to 3.8ish)

 

1gb ddr 400

 

30gb hard drive(upgrading(

 

Computer made from parts i have lying around.

Has it got an ssd in it ?? , if not throw one in you will notice a significant increase in performance.

i would say you would get a better performance increase with a ssd over the extra couple of gb of ram.

 

I threw 2gb more ram into my old core2 asus laptop, made a small difference, but putting a SSD in it made way more difference.
