Hello, with your mobile workstation running W10 and 8GB RAM, your typical memory usage is between 60 to 80%. Upgrading to 16GB RAM could improve responsiveness and make the system feel smoother, especially when multitasking and opening many Chrome tabs. It shouldn’t slow things down noticeably right now. Let me know if you need more details! Thank you!
You'll likely receive a warning at 90 or 95% about low memory. This happens when a lot of data moves to the page file, which could be a problem if your page file is on an old SATA drive. It's not a major concern with an M.2 drive. Reaching 80% doesn't necessarily mean you need more RAM—just consider using what you have efficiently. If you're able to increase your current amount, adding more memory is definitely worth it, even if it means slightly slower performance.
Oh, ok thank you. I have another fast question that has nothing to do with this, for if you have any idea. I have my 4 core 8 thread i7 sitting at 2.5Ghz all the time at max, will increasing it to around 3.0Ghz give a notable boost on performance? or should I leave it how it is, thank you
Typically, most laptops are secured, so users cannot alter settings unless they appear in the BIOS.
It shouldn't be necessary to have tools like a "CPU max frequency limiter."
