For many years, computers have been sold with 4GB and more recently 8GB of memory. Today, we find that 16GB is often the best baseline, and for heavy users this should be increased to 32GB. We always aim to provide a minimum of 16GB for our customers.

Whatever your computers need, we’ve got you covered. With years of experience in supporting businesses in and around Brighton, you can trust us to give you the right steer, without it costing the earth.

RAM – or Random Access Memory – is your computer’s short-term memory. Although there are many different reasons why computers might be running slow, generally the more memory your machine has, the better it can cope with handling simultaneous tasks. If you don’t have enough RAM, even the simplest tasks can be too much for your computer to handle effectively. This can frustrate employees and slow down productivity.

Some tell-tale signs your computers might need a RAM upgrade include:

While there may be other underlying issues, it’s worth considering a RAM upgrade solution first as it can be much more cost-effective than other solutions.

The good news is that if lack of memory is causing these problems, upgrading it rarely costs the earth. Once fixed, your computer will be able to do more tasks simultaneously, making everything that bit quicker and more efficient.

Having enough RAM can mean:

There are other benefits too:

Cost-effective upgrades: Increasing RAM is much cheaper than getting brand new computers.

Reduces waste: Upgrading the hardware you already have stops perfectly good machines going to waste, helping you do your bit for the planet.

Quick and simple to install: Upgrading is usually quick and simple, and the benefits should be instant.

Tailored to your needs: We know our stuff when it comes to RAM. We can audit your machines and needs, and provide a solution specific for your business.

All-in-all, upgraded RAM can lead to improved efficiency and better business performance.

A common question we get asked is how do you know if it’s more memory you need, or a new computer?

When computers start slowing down, the initial assumption is often that entire new machines are the answer. That’s not always the case. RAM upgrades can provide a significant performance increase by reducing bottlenecks for a fraction of the cost.

Whether a RAM upgrade or a new PC is the right choice will depend on your business’ specific needs, as well as the nature of issues you’re facing.

However, if you frequently work with large files or multitask heavily, you’re likely to see better performance improvement through upgrading your RAM.

The good news is, it’s our job to help you work out the best way forward for your business. We can easily audit your estate to determine which computers are low on memory, see how many free memory slots you have, and advise the right type of memory.

From identifying the right upgrade for you, to making sure it works exactly as it should, we’ve got your RAM needs covered.

We’ll take a thorough look at your existing configuration, software usage and business need to determine how much memory you need on each machine. As well as this, we’ll consider your business plans too to make sure we’re setting you up for the growth you want to achieve.

We’ll also make sure that the RAM we supply is compatible with your existing hardware to avoid any silly mistakes. We’ll get the details of RAM speeds and timings spot on so you don’t have to.

We can also help you plan how to upgrade to minimise disruption to your business operations.

As a managed service provider, we’re able to offer RAM at very competitive prices. Whether you need to upgrade the RAM on a single desktop or a more complex server upgrade, we promise to do it as quickly and cost-effectively as possible.

After the upgrade, we’ll monitor performance to make sure your RAM is delivering what it needs to for your business. If you’re one of our IT support customers, we’ll also monitor your RAM needs on an ongoing basis. This helps us proactively address performance bottlenecks before they start causing havoc.
