I'm currently running a VERY VERY VERY HUGE PILE OF * Pc. It's just an old pc until I upgrade to this (http://pcpartpicker.com/p/c3RKt6)
As of right now, on my * pc, I'm running a Intel Core 2 Duo 3Ghz with an EVGA 8800Gts 324mb VRAM. And I started out with 6GB of DDR2 Ram at 800mhz. Yes. DDR2. This pc is from the stone age lol. But I'm having a problem I didn't normally have. For starters, my RAM Kind of just Died after a while lol and I'm down to my last 2 gigs of Ram. A single 2gb stick of ram. I just got Google Fiber, which is Gigabit internet, and I get speeds of 900 up and 850 down. I have a question. While i'm on google Chrome, Sometimes I'll be watching a you tube video in the background (I can barely watch 720p anymore because of the amount of ram I have, if I play 720p, my computer gets so slow) and I'll be looking for pc parts. If I get too many tabs open, My internet just decides to Stop, and My "Network thingy" in the bottom right of the screen has a yellow triangle. It won't change until I click on it and Click on the yellow triangle to Troubleshoot. When I troubleshoot, it then completely disconnects and after a few seconds it reconnects, Just for me to do it all over again a few minutes later. My Motherboard has Gigabit internet (Not 100% positive but I'm pretty sure) [Motherboard- Asus P5N32-E SLI, which back in it's day, was King of Boards] I don't want to upgrade to a $4k build, and still have the problem. I've heard that Ethernet cables can effect speed, but I have CAT 5E which is the 2nd fastest next to CAT 6 ( that I know of)
So my question is, Does the amount of Ram I have effect my internet usage?
If I get more ram on my upcoming build, will it have a positive effect on my Internet (Multiple tabs open)
