Will increasing the RAM make my laptop better equipped to handle graphic design work?

 

Its currently struggling with anything more than basic design jobs. I know I cant add a graphics card, but would increasing the RAM make things better, or is it simply not worth it and I should just invest in a new laptop?

 

Thanks

Hi:

 

Adding memory probably would not help significantly if you are running programs that require heavy graphics demands.

 

You might get a little more shared system memory to go to the graphics, but that would be about it.

 

A premium processor and graphics adapter are what you need for graphics work.

 

The 250 G6 can support up to 2 x 8 GB of memory if it has an Intel core processor and 1 x 8 GB if it has a Celeron processor.

 

You may want to look into one of the HP Elitebook models or zBook mobile workstations.
