So, for the past couple (Around 8?) of years, I have been using a 1.6Ghz Dual-Core CPU( I know, it's terrible, I tried upgrading, but it's an AM2), with 4GB of RAM, I recently put in 4 more GB of RAM, but it doesn't / didn't seem to have much of an affect on my system overall. It may have increased performance, but not a noticeable amount.
With this, I'm wondering if a low end processor can only use a certain amount of RAM, or would it use all of the RAM like any other type of processor.
(I'm not sure this is the type of place to ask this type of question, sorry if I posted this in the wrong area!)
Duo Core
originally, I see you actually meant to a say dual core and I see you updated your question. Unless you were already running a 64-bit operating system your likely to see next no performance increases. Just incase you actually did mean to say Duo Core, that particular product line, is not a 64-bit processor.Start

. In the center of that window, underSystem
, it will show you what processor, memory and system type you have. Please add those details to your question.
