Press Windows + S to launch the Search menu, enter System configuration in the text field at the top, and click on the relevant search result that appears. Now, go the Boot tab and click on Advanced options. Tick the checkbox for Maximum memory, enter the installed RAM on your system in the text field underneath, and then click on OK at the bottom.

The golden rule is that you will never regret having more RAM. The more you have, the smoother your programming and overall computer usage experience will be, and the more you can run at once. However, if you are on a budget, a computer with 8GB or 16GB should be more than enough for programming. As always, happy coding!

OTOH, if your apps can make use of more ram like photoshop, or if you keep many google chrome tabs open, then more ram is good. Intel is dual channel so there is no difference in performance between 2 x 16gb and 4 x 8gb kits. 3600 would, I think, be an appropriate speed. 9FwvKJ. 451 442 33 129 355 352 432 67 416
