RAM upgrade in Streatham

RAM upgrades in Streatham can breathe new life into older devices used in large Victorian houses. Large Victorian houses often house extended families or HMOs, where devices need to handle multiple users and programs simultaneously. Adding more RAM is often the most cost-effective way to improve performance without replacing entire devices. The most common reason for RAM upgrades in Streatham is slow performance with multiple programs. Devices with insufficient RAM struggle when running multiple programs, opening large files, or using memory-intensive applications. HMO configurations mean multiple people use devices simultaneously, which can overwhelm limited RAM. Adding more memory allows devices to handle these loads smoothly. Unlike SSD upgrades which boost storage speed, RAM upgrades improve how devices handle multiple tasks simultaneously. If your device slows down when you have several programs open, or if it struggles with modern software, RAM is likely the bottleneck. We assess devices’ current RAM and recommend the right upgrade for specific needs. From our Putney shop, we’re accessible via the South Circular — typically 20-30 minutes depending on traffic. We offer same-day RAM upgrades for most common laptop and desktop models. We stock RAM for popular devices and can often complete the upgrade the same day you bring it in. For less common models, we’ll order the right RAM and complete the upgrade as soon as possible. We understand that slow performance can be frustrating, especially when you need to get work done. That’s why we offer fast RAM upgrade services. We’ll assess your device, recommend the right upgrade, and install it quickly — often the same day. A RAM upgrade can make an older device feel like new again.

Frequently Asked Questions About RAM Upgrade in Streatham

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.
