RAM upgrade in Putney

Putney residents can walk in to our shop on Lower Richmond Road for a RAM upgrade assessment — no booking needed for drop-offs. We check whether your machine supports a memory upgrade, confirm what it will achieve, and carry out the fitting on the same visit where possible. A RAM upgrade makes the most difference on machines that slow down when switching between applications, struggle with video calls alongside other work, or stutter when browser tabs multiply. We test under realistic load after fitting to confirm the improvement is meaningful. Not every laptop supports RAM upgrades — soldered memory is common on newer models. We check this before you bring the device in and tell you honestly if it won’t help. For full details, see our RAM upgrade page. For other local services, see our Putney area page. To book, contact us or call 020 7610 0500.

Frequently Asked Questions About RAM Upgrade in Putney

How much RAM do I need?

8GB is minimum for basic use. 16GB is ideal for most users and future-proofs your system. 32GB+ is for power users doing video editing, 3D rendering, or running virtual machines.

Can all computers be upgraded?

Most can, but some laptops have soldered RAM that can't be changed. All MacBooks from 2012 onwards have non-upgradeable RAM. We'll check your specific model before proceeding.

Will more RAM make my computer faster?

If you're running out of memory (check Task Manager), yes - significantly. If you have plenty of free RAM already, an SSD upgrade would make more difference. We'll advise what's best for your situation.

What's the difference between DDR3, DDR4, and DDR5?

These are different generations of RAM - they're not interchangeable. Your computer only accepts one type. DDR5 is newest and fastest, DDR4 is most common currently, DDR3 is found in older systems.
