Best Answer

a computer can have (basically) any amount of RAM.

the more ram you have the better computer you will need in gerneral though, the max that is really reccomended is 16GB.

if you are not playing games and its a computer that you use for personal use you need about 4GB tops. if its gaming then more than 8GB is reccomended but if you have less than you can use game boosters.

RAM is short for random access memory, it randomly acceses the memory, the RAM is basically how fast your computer is (theres other factors too like your prosessor etc)
