Hi there, during these times, most of my uni times are spend virtually and I've encountered some things that are rather of a hindrance. The following are my PC specs Ryzen 3 2200G 8GB of RAM @3000MHz 1TB WD Blue HDD 300W PSU I think it's due to the RAM getting filled up but I'm not sure since I don't know much about it. This is a short one but I thank you for reading and your inputs are welcomed, have a good day.

Is this about a web browser tab opening? Your RAM consumption is currently acceptable—around 8GB should suffice for the moment.

I notice two options to consider. Upgrading to a 16GB RAM would be one choice, while installing an SSD is another. The current HDD will slow things down noticeably. You can find a 500GB SSD for around $45 and a 1TB one for under $100, which will offer the biggest speed boost.

During navigation between already open windows and launching different apps (like PDF reader, word, excel, firefox, etc.), I’m uncertain about my RAM consumption for classes. I won’t see it immediately while using it. I’ll review later.

These files are kept in RAM, which means adding more improves how fast you can access them. Still, it doesn’t change that relying on an HDD for the operating system slows everything down significantly. Data stored in RAM takes longer to find and load compared to a faster storage device, especially when RAM is full or when moving files between memory and the page file. This leads to slower performance overall.

I understand what you're saying. From this, it seems upgrading the HDD and RAM would be a good idea if needed. If you decide to use an SSD, moving everything to it might work, but cloning could be useful. Regarding the Apacer SSD M.2 SATA AST280 480GB, does it fit in an ASRock B450M-HDV R4.0? I'm not sure, so I'd probably go with the Apacer AS350 Panther 512GB instead. What do you think about these options? You mentioned they seem DRAMless, which makes sense given their low cost.

I mean dramless aren't ideal, but unless you run them close to full capacity they will still be much faster. Don't forget that you can steal us your current HDD for storage... just not as an OS drive Here is the info from the site. 1 x Ultra M.2 Socket, supports M Key type 2242/2260/2280 M.2 SATA3 6.0 Gb/s module and M.2 PCI Express module up to Gen3 x4 (32 Gb/s) (with Matisse, Picasso, Summit Ridge, Raven Ridge and Pinnacle Ridge) or Gen3 x2 (16 Gb/s) (with Athlon series APU) * The Apacer SSD M.2 SATA AST280 480GB is a sata 6 m.2 which would work, but will be slower than a pci-e one. The Apacer PV220-M280 would work it is m key 2280. Not sure on price, but if this is only slightly more it would be the better option. If not either of those SSDs you mentioned would work
