When you launch a program or open a file, it\u2019s moved from your system\u2019s storage to its RAM.<\/p>\n<p>The more RAM you have, the more you can do at once. If you don\u2019t have enough RAM for your open applications, your system will slow down as Windows (or another operating system) has to move data in and out of the page file on your system drive. You might even see a low memory error if there\u2019s not enough RAM.<\/p>\n<p>How much RAM you need depends on what you do.
