In most instances, cheapest is usually not the best. But we're about to break the rule here. Want to know what's the cheapest upgrade you can do to your system? A memory upgrade. Want to know what upgrade will most siginificantly increase your system's performance? A memory upgrade. That's right, memory upgrade is the cheapest upgrade you can make to your system, and in most cases, it's also the one upgrade that will have the most impact to your system's performance. A memory upgrade can make your system load applications faster, load files faster, switching windows faster, and in general make your system operate faster.

Geek speak: system memory is about 1,000 times faster than hard drive. Operating system normally lives in memory. But what happens when the operating system needs more memory than available? The operating system will use a chunk of hard drive and pretending it to be memory. This works fine and dandy but remember hard drive is about 1,000 times slower than memory, therefore operating system's performance will be reduced drastically when it's using hard drive as system memory. But upgrading a system's memory, you reduce the chance of operating system running out of real memory and using the much slower hard drive as memory.
