I have an ASUS AIO with 8G memory. When browsing, I have a lot of tabs open. 10 isn't unusual. And the memory in Task Mgr often seems to run high. With one browser open, and a few tabs, 40-50% is normal. With 10 open for a few days, it may crawl up to 70%. I try to keep it under 60, but that means saving URL's and restarting the browser.
If I have another browser open, or my wife does, it gets worse. And runs slower. But it rarely gets above 75.
I was told when I bought it that 8G was 'plenty'. But it doesn't seem so. I probably can't add more RAM. The computer is ~5yo, and it still runs fine. So I hate to replace it - but... When I restart the browser, maybe every week or so, it runs fine.
So it sounds like I just need to restart. But is it the memory that is the problem? The CPU data generally is good. If I do replace it, would 16G be worth it? (not sure why they charge an extra $2-300 for that!)
Thanks
