Hey guys.

I have an Asus A550C.
It has an intel i3 3217u @1.8Ghz and a 720M.

Currently I have a 4GB RAM. It is quite slow right now and I am not able to run things like Photoshop smoothly. Would it make a big difference if I upgrade to 8GB RAM?

I'll also be putting in an unused SSD (Currently just have HDD) I have from another system. Would these two changes make a huge difference?

I know the CPU is very sucky, but just wanted to know if things would change alot. Thanks!

hmm you can start monitoring your system and figuring out what exacty is bottlenecking your system
like when you are running photoshop you can just open the task manager >go to Performance and see what is being used most

if the RAM is being used up most then yes you will need to upgrade
but my guess is its the i3 which is the culprit over here
