RAM- 4GB is all a system needs to perform well and good

When it comes to a balance of cost and performance, 4GB is just about perfect, at least for the time being. In every day computing, you probably won’t ever come close to filling it all up – well, unless you’re like me and have a nasty habit of leaving 116 tabs of Flash rich content open in Chrome.

Crucial is a very popular brand amongst hardcore gamers.Even high-end gaming performs well with just 4GB of memory. Feel free to enjoy a casual bit of Photoshop and/or video editing, too. Apart from some very purpose specific computing, like extensive hi-res photo editing or industrial grade 3D modeling, 4gigs is the number to aim for.
