I guess it should be presumed, but if any question, yep, 16 GB RAM will speed your laptop up.
16 GB RAM = Fast

I have an old old laptop in the garage, made me laugh when I got it out, it had a clip on roller ballCarbon is not the problem, it makes up 0.041% of our atmosphere , 95% of that is from Volcanos and decomposing plants and stuff. So people in the US are responsible for 13% of the carbon in the atmosphere which 95% is not from Humans, like cars and trucks and stuff and they want to spend trillions to fix it while Solar Panel plants are powered by coal plants
think about thatComment

I've seen laptops with 16gb.
I am about to order a couple of new computers with 24gb ram which should really kick ass. My main one now has only 8gb.Comment

my first job in computers was with a company called Chromatics we sold a Z80 based CG workstation (512x512x4 bit planes) for 100K
It maxed at 32K of memory and only accomplished that by using hardware memory mapping
(do the math 4 bit planes) = 128K the max addressable by an 8 bit address bus
It ran an OS stored on EPROM that was similar to CPM.

I've got an Intel i7 MacBook Pro with 8GB of RAM and a 240GB OCW SSD
I can boot up the full Adobe Master Collection from the Apple Chime in 48 seconds.
Fast enough for me ... As this type of performance doesn't come cheap.Comment

The SSD hard drive is the main helper here. Even if you had 4gb of ram it would open at pretty much the same speed. I have a Core i7 with 8gb ram, but the hard drive is slow so I don't get to see the full speed although things still open very fast. Sometime in January I will be getting myself a ssd hard drive.
Wouldn't really speed it up if you doubled or even tripled the amount of ram you currently have.
Ya, if you had like 1 or 2gb of ram and you upgraded to 8 or 16gb of ram of course you would see a big difference, but going from 8 to 16gb you will not notice any difference unless you use your computer for VERY hardware/memory/cpu intensive stuff.Last edited by Yngwie; 12-23-2011, 04:42 PM.ICQ: 16544251 - Skype: gator37 @ eastlink.ca - email: yngwie @ isys.caComment

I just bumped up to 8 gig and it was nice... But 16gig must be great....Comment

If you are on a MAC (or I suppose even if you aren't ..) check out the OWC Mercury SSDs .... their benchmarks are untouchable by most other SSDs .... and they are recommended by all the Apple forums regulars too ....

I'm not on a MAC, but I will check it out anyway.

HAHA wasnt the old trs-80 like 16kb or something? I remember using cassette tapes for data then they came out with a hi tech 8 inch floppy drive upgrade. LOL. The floppy drive case alone was like 30 lbs and as big as a old 486 style PC.ICQ me lets make a deal 116894466

My existing Dell has a 128 SSD . . . the new one is significantly faster and i am not talking about just the boot up procedure. That would not even be fair since I still need to set it up the way I want it. I am just playing with it now.Comment

My first computer was a Sinclair ZX-81 that had a massive 1K of on board memory, and you could buy a 16K memory expansion cartridge if you had a couple hundred bucks left to spend ...
The 64K memory module was introduced the following year, but it was just Sinclair's way of showing off their new technology - nobody could actually afford the 64K expansion module ...
