Hello, welcome! I see you're wondering if higher memory would be beneficial given the usage shown in the screenshot. You mentioned having similar amounts of available and cached memory, which is common in both gaming and work settings. Since you have many applications open—including Chrome tabs—it might be worth considering an upgrade to free up resources. Let me know if you'd like more details!

It varies; yes if performance drops when switching tasks, windows, or tabs because RAM might be being swapped out. Otherwise, it works smoothly with enough memory and no frequent crashes, so extra caching isn't necessary. Cached data should match what's currently available to keep things fast.

I began reviewing my usage due to issues when switching between programs and windows. I’m concerned I might have just sought someone to confirm my thoughts.
