I'm upgrading the amount of RAM in my machine, before I purchase it, I thought I would ask does the RAM's speed have much, if any benefit for applications like Photoshop and video editing? i.e. 1333Mhz vs 2400Mhz I've tried Googling the issue, but all the results I get are from gaming forums, which aren't of much help.
4Could you actually measure how much RAM you are using when the system slows down? It might indeed have run out of free memory, or it could be something else. Just adding RAM will not help in the case it is something else. – Hennes – 2013-03-09T14:11:18.903
1It would very little different if your running into performance problems with 12GB of memory. I assume your using the 64-bit version of Photoshop? – Ramhound – 2013-03-09T14:12:33.633
@LukeJonGibson what Hennes and Ramhound is saying is you may have a XY problem. You think that increasing your ram speed will solve your problem (

) so you are focusing on that, we are just saying take a step back and look at the bigger picture and find the root of the problem (Y
) (like maybe Photoshop is not utilizing the 12 gigs you are giving it) and give you a even better solution.I appreciate the attempt to find the root cause of a problem. But I never said I had a problem. I know exactly what is causing the slow down and how to fix it. My only question was as I am already upgrading my RAM, would getting higher speed RAM be of any benefit? Cheers – LukeJonGibson – 2013-03-12T11:04:42.670
I have edited the question to make it clear, what I'm actually after. Hope that helps :) – LukeJonGibson – 2013-03-12T11:11:24.560
