RAM upgrade in Southfields

RAM upgrade in Southfields SW18: If your laptop slows down with meetings, browser tabs, and office apps open together, we help customers around Southfields and Wimbledon Park assess whether a memory upgrade will deliver a real improvement. In Southfields SW18, many machines are still serviceable but held back by limited memory for modern workloads. We check compatibility, test existing performance, and confirm whether RAM is the bottleneck before fitting parts. That avoids spending on upgrades that do not address the actual issue, and helps you decide when an SSD or full replacement would be better value. From Putney, Southfields SW18 bookings are usually 8-15 minutes. Southfields SW18 is outside the congestion zone and parking is generally manageable, so collection and onsite checks are both practical. Full details are on our RAM upgrade page, local context is on our Southfields page, and urgent support is available via contact us or 020 7610 0500.

Frequently Asked Questions About RAM Upgrade in Southfields

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.
