No, you do not need to upgrade your processor in order to benefit from adding RAM. Think of adding RAM to a computer as similar to adding a high-performance carburetor to your car. Just as the carburetor will allow you to get more horsepower from the same engine, adding ram will allow you to better utilize your processors performance.

With more RAM, your system will perform better when multitasking. You may not notice a great deal of performance gain within individual programs, but you will probably notice the OS itself seeming more responsive and applications loading faster.

Why do HD videos get stuck in your computer?

If you mean that when you are watching a movie or video that it gets stuck and stops playing here is the answer : A HD video has way more pixels than an SD video. That means that the processor needs to transfer many pixels in little time. The chance that the processor gets overloaded is higher than an SD vid. But with a good processor and graphics card this wouldn't happen ;-)


Will Deadliest Catch Alaskan Storm work on a 1.60 ghz processor if it needs 2ghz processor?

Gigahertz are a lousy measurement of performance. A more efficient processor can offer higher performance at a lower clock rate. So as long as you have a better TYPE of processor, the labeled speed doesn't matter. The requirements list a 2 Ghz Pentium 4. If you have a Core Solo, Core Duo, or a Core 2 Duo, you'll be just fine.

Yes, P4 is faster and more reliable.


How do you select a processor for your computer?

When selecting a processor for your computer, consider factors such as your intended use, budget, and compatibility with your motherboard. For gaming or heavy multitasking, opt for a higher-end processor with more cores and threads. Evaluate performance benchmarks and reviews to ensure the CPU meets your needs in terms of speed and efficiency. Finally, check for thermal management and power requirements to ensure it fits within your system's capabilities.

What is difference between fpga and microprocessor?

Now FPGAs are having builtin processor like PPC and more either in hardcore or softcore. Main difference between processor and FPGA is execution Processor is sequencial execution but FPGAs are concurrent so speed of FPGA is much higher than a high speed processor.


Why is running a motherboard or processor at a higher speed than that suggested by the manufactrur not recommended?

Because the motherboard/processor is designed with that speed in mind, so overheating and various other issues can occur much more frequently at higher speeds. Also, the process of running hardware at a higher speed than is standard is called overclocking.

Why write programs in machine code?

The resulting programs are more efficient, use less processor cycles and memory. Because michine code is the most basic form of language that a processor can understand. It consists of 1's and 0's. It needs no interpreter to interpret to the processor and therefore is the fastest way to tell a processor which commands to run.
