dell Inspiron 15R (7520) (i7-3612qm,7730,2gb) upgrade RAM from 8 gb to 16 gb ram? does it worths?

Question

this question is only for the owners of this laptop...

So i'm having this laptop with this configuration and i am wonderig if someone got better results in gaming and multitasking activities,with 16 gb rather than 8 gb ram,
I saw in cpu-z and task manager that this laptop uses no more than 3 gb ram ( in gaming: like far cry 3 for example) -->>let's say maximum no more than 4 gb ram. so it remains 4 gb ram free,unused.

I've thought i will gain more speed with 16 gb ram 1600 mhz than 8 gb 1600 mhz ,but as we can see, 8 gb is still too much, ennough memory ram. ( i use x 64 windows 7)

so,the big question here is only for the owners of this laptop who upgraded and saw any differences :

does it worth upgrading the ram? (even if you don;t use so much memory ram?)



this is my configuration:((Inspiron 15R - 7520 Laptop Label 90W AC Adapter 8X Tray Load CD/DVD Burner (Dual Layer DVD+/-R Drive) LCD Cover Label Processor: Intel Core 3rd Generation i7-3612QM Processor (2.1GHz,6M Cache, up to 3.10GHz) Software Service Software Software WLAN Daughterboard DataSafe Online Backup Software Aluminium Service Software Documentation Shipping Material Intel Centrino Wireless 2230, 2x2 bgn + Bluetooth 8 GB DDR3 SDRAM 1600MHz (2 DIMMs) Wave Systems Software 750 GB SATA Hard Drive (7200RPM) 64BIT Operating System Dell Chiclet Keyboard with Multi-touch Touchpad, English-Int'l Label Information Software No OS Media AMD Radeon HD 7730M 2GB Microsoft Office Starter – reduced functionality Word & Excel w/ads & no PowerPoint or Outlook Service Software Software 15.6 Full High Definition (1080p) LED Display Placemat 125V Power Cord 64BIT Operating System Processor Label Genuine Windows 7 Home Premium Label Label 6 Cell Lithium-Ion Primary Battery ))

ps. the processor supports maximum 16 gb ram,so i don;t want answers related about the incompabilities.Many individuals upgraded their laptops to 16 gb but i did not caught their rewiews. i hope their reviews will be written here,

Answer 1

HI, I own this laptop and run AUTO CAD and design software on it. I personally noticed much better performance when I upgraded to the 16GB. The application loaded a bit much faster than usual and since I do a lot of multitasking, A LOT, this "little bit" of boost on performance made a big difference for me. Hope this helps.

Answer 2

Yes it's worth it, on account that if you have more RAM than is required, then you may be able to run additional applications with it on while..However that is just my opinion

Answer 3

It is Perfect my pc is Only 4gb of ram and it is good for gaming and recording for about 30 minutes so yeah it is good for gaming and those stuff
