I only use my desktop for surfing the web, my stock screener, some basic work stuff and streaming sports. I don’t play any games.
Which model ASUS do you have?

Dude, that's not bad. More RAM will fix you right up and it's an easy install. Happy to assist if you'd like.

Upgrading to 16Gb of RAM would make that thing almost like a new computer. The i3 is underpowered but a RAM upgrade would get a lot more life out of it.

Technically, that's just the specs. On the bottom of the laptop, it should list the model number. If you can find the model number, I can tell you if you can upgrade the RAM, and what kind you would need.

It’s a desktop.

I’ll try to get the model number tonight.

Yeah, the model number is definitely important because it’s quite possible that the motherboard can handle only 8 gigs of Ram, tops.

My wife had an older i5 Dell Inspiron with 8 gigs of Ram, which was maxed out, and that thing was so slow I tossed it in the recycle bin after I built my latest PC in April. I can’t even imagine an i3 with 4 gigs of Ram.

Looks like you have 2 slots allowing for a max of 16GB. DDR3 1600 or DDR3 SDRAM but not sure which yet.

Not that I see. I’ll text you. Imgur is down so I can’t post it.
