Hello,

I want to buy a laptop to play the latest games and I'm hesitating between two models, the same configuration, one with 4GB of RAM and the other with 6GB. Do you think the 6GB is worth it?
Thank you

    2 things:
    check that the laptop comes with a 64-bit version of Windows because Win 32 does not manage more than 3GB, it will recognize the 4 or 6GB but will not use the surplus.
    a laptop for recent games is not the best: graphics card not powerful enough and processor might be a bit light.

      This is the computer's configuration:
      Intel Core i7-740QM*
      Processor frequency / Bus frequency 1.73 GHz
      External cache memory 6 MB
      Installed RAM 4 GB
      Type of installed RAM DDR3
      Maximum RAM 8 GB
      Hard drive 640 GB
      Type of hard drive SATA
      Combo drive CD/DVD double-layer dual-format burner
      Memory card reader 3 in 1 / SD, MS, MMC
      Graphics card NVIDIA GeForce GTX 460M
      Dedicated video memory 1536 MB

      And the other one is the same with 6 GB of RAM instead of 4 GB.

    Hi,

    Given the processor and the GPU, you have a very decent budget, so you might be missing out on a good product.

    Give the references of the laptops, it's simpler that way we can have all the specifications.

    If it's for gaming, there's no point in having 6GB of RAM.
