I am currently thinking about upgrading my system. I'd say however that my needs do not exceed those of my current setup, I'd just like a bit more "breathing" space for my system, since it can become laggy after I open a few programs (sometimes I have Photoshop and a few other programs open at once)
I currently have a Core2 Duo @2.4 Ghz (the somewhat older E6600), with 4G of RAM running windows 7 pro 32bit.
I was wondering if a RAM increase to 8G and 64bit windows would improve performance enough so I would not require a new PC at this point? what is the system performance boost when upgrading to a 64bit OS with extra RAM, if any?
Thanks for all your answers. I deceided I will go for SSD, win64 and +4GB ram. I guess that the most I can push out of my current system. I'd also like to get a new gfx card too (now having a 7600GT) but can't find many AGP options out there anymore :) – Spiros – 2011-08-12T16:11:21.823
