RAM or no RAM?

Yes. You will notice the difference by upgrading the RAM. It is well worth it if you intend on using the computer. $50 is a pretty good deal on RAM. Make sure your computer can handle what you intend to put in by using the scanner at www.crucial.com...Show more

Enjoy the memory upgrade! :)...Show more
