RAM or System Memory
Sometime the best solution to speeding up an old slow computer is to just add more RAM to it. But how do you know if you have any room to add more of it? Or the type? Or the frequency? It is important to know these details when upgrading as different types of RAM are not compatible with each other. Speccy lists all these details in the RAM tab to the left. With this you will know exactly how much and what kind of RAM you are using and what kind of RAM you need to upgrade.
CPU or Processor Information
The number of cores and clock-speed of your CPU directly equates to the raw power of your CPU. With CPU’s ranging from a single core all the way up to a whopping 12 cores, knowing how many cores you have will give you an expectation of performance. Other important information is how many gigahertz your CPU runs at and whether your CPU is a 32 bit or 64 bit processor.
