About 8 years ago I purchased a high end computer that at the time was one of the fastest computers on the market and to save a little money I purchased only 6 gigs of ram and running Windows 7. This was my production computer for image processing and some video editing on the side. For years it ran great then in the last few years, the computer slowed down. I upgraded the hard drives to fastest on the market and it helped some but as Lightroom/Photoshop grew more powerful and Windows 10 being a resource hog it wasn't enough. So I shut the computer down and started using a new laptop that seemed to work better.



Then in early October my laptop died. So I decided to get the desktop up and running again. Reinstalled everything, cleaned the dust out of the tower and ran some tests on it. Sadly the computer was still to slow. So I decided to max out the ram (16gb)



After a lot of research and found this older RAM still worked great and many of the internet reviews I read said this was a great brand.



Once I installed it, I had to reboot the computer a couple of times for the system to notice the hardware changes (issues with my computer). I noticed right away how much faster my computer is. Because of this upgrade I was able to pull this old computer from retirement and use it for image processing. I even have enough memory that I can run a media server and watch movies as I process images (if I wanted to)



If your computer is running slow, and you haven't tried maxing out your RAM (max amount the computer / motherboard company recommends) you defiantly do that. Its far cheaper than buying a new computer and the Kingston HyperX Fury is a great option for you.
