Spark Services | How Much RAM or Memory Do You Need in Your Computer

Perhaps a lot of us overlook this question while making a decision of buying a computer. Missing out on this aspect can in a lot of situations prove to be exorbitantly expensive. While buying a new system, make sure that you don’t let fancy discounts fascinate you. 

There are a lot of important specifications that you as a buyer need to pay heed to. For example, the kind of processor, the modern era solid-state drive (SSD), or the same old hard disk drive (HDD). Acknowledging the fact, the RAM prices aren’t exactly inexpensive at the moment; it will only be beneficial to make a wise and informed decision. And thus, we at Sparks Services are here to assist you. The following are a few tips to consider while choosing a computer.

Need for RAM

With each passing year, our need for a bigger RAM has only risen. In the olden days, any standard system, the operating system could easily sail through with a 4 GB RAM. But today you need a least of 4 GB just to run a mobile cell. With consecutive upgrades in the various operating systems, the offered applications tend to use up more RAM for their functioning. As you go up on the ladder of ease and smoothness, the required RAM also increases. 

So, let’s first understand what happens in case we run out of space on our RAM. In this situation, your system will start writing out everything else on your hard disk of the SSD. Now when in use, this will cause lagging and affect the speed of your system. Hence, irrespective of your system’s memory, the performance will be slower if you use up your RAM. 

8 GB RAM

This is the advisable number for most users. It allows you to have a smooth experience while researching, using the web, and casual machinery use. Along with that, keeping in mind the increasing need for more RAM, buying an 8GB RAM also secures your system from obsolete in the near future. 

16 GB

While 8GB is sufficient to run some modern-day games, we highly recommend a 16GB computer for gamers. This allows you to have a smooth experience while gaming, provided your budget allows you. A 16 GB system today is known to be the perfect balance between the performance and the price. This just offers you room for running a few tasks simultaneously. 

32 GB

This one is for the creative lot. Since, they usually work with the rendering of huge audio, video, or picture files, they need a large memory to work on them. This simply offers you the flexibility to work without having to worry about the negative effect on the system. Working on ultra HD 4K+ resolutions can take some of the ultra-fast volatile RAM capacity and turns it into a drive. This acts as a scratch disk for projects. 

Apart from this make sure your system has the option of getting the RAM upgraded. A lot of companies today, offer just a single original configuration.

Robert E. Allen Jr.

About Robert E. Allen Jr. A Journey of Integrity, Innovation, and Impact Welcome to my corner of the web, where the confluence of technology, entrepreneurship, and ethical business practices come to life. I'm Robert E. Allen Jr., a proud native of southern Ohio, where my roots run deep into the fabric of community and hard work. My journey in the tech world began at Shawnee State University, a chapter filled with exploration and the beginnings of a lifelong passion for computer science. However, my academic path took a turn toward the prestigious halls of Penn State, where I completed my degree and set the foundation for what would become a nearly three-decade-long adventure in business. Building an Empire on Principles Nearly 30 years ago, I embarked on an entrepreneurial journey, not just to start a business, but to build an empire defined by a commitment to ethical practices and community service. Inspired by the Rotary four-way test—Is it the truth? Is it fair to all concerned? Will it build goodwill and better friendships? Will it be beneficial to all concerned?—my business philosophy centers on these questions, guiding every decision and interaction. This ethos has not only shaped my professional life but has also fostered a culture of integrity, trust, and mutual respect within my company and with our clients. A Family Man at Heart Beyond the world of bits, bytes, and business, my life is rich with love and laughter, thanks to my wife and our two wonderful daughters. They are my why, the reason behind every late night, every early morning, and every decision to push the boundaries of what's possible. Together, we've created a life filled with memories, learning, and love—a true testament to the balance between professional ambition and personal fulfillment. Looking Forward As I look to the future, my goal is to continue leveraging technology to make a positive impact on the world, guided by the principles that have brought me this far. I strive to innovate, to lead with integrity, and to inspire those around me to do the same. Whether through my business endeavors, community service, or simply by being a role model to my daughters, my journey is about creating a legacy that transcends technology—a legacy of positive change, ethical leadership, and a commitment to making the world a better place for future generations. Thank you for visiting my site. I hope to not only share my journey with you but also to inspire you to pursue your passions, lead with integrity, and make a meaningful impact in your corner of the world.
