Do i need higher RAM in order to run those software? Currently running on my 2Gb RAM on laptop, not really smooth. Please advise. Thanks!

Thanks for the suggestion.

For the mainboard, how does MSI H77MA-G43 differ from GIGABYTE H77M-D3H? Is the difference significant?

As for the RAM, which brand will be more suitable?

Pardon me for asking because my knowledge on this is not much. =x
Thanks in advanced
