We will find out in a very simple way which program is using all the available memory, so that we can find a solution, either by uninstalling it or by looking for an update or a way to reduce this consumption.
Find out what’s consuming your RAM
There are different ways to do it, even from the control panel we can see the processes and the percentage of usage, however, today we are going to see a very simple and free program that will give us more information. It barely weighs and installs in seconds.
It is RAM cardwhich is only available for Windows (later we will see an option in MacOS), and which we can download from here, on the official Microsoft website.
We will only have to download it, install it and open it. At that point we will be able to view all the data regarding our RAM, from which processes are using it, to the percentage that each one is using, in order to propose a solution.
It won’t be much more of a mystery, once you open it you will see it more clearly, because it will be the usual programs that you use, and if one of them does not work for you or you hardly use anymore, you can uninstall it and save that RAM space that you might need.
If you see that the ranges are normal and nothing catches your attention, it is likely that your memory is insufficient and needs to be increased, so you will not have a simple solution at that time, just think about changing it . But at least now you will know the reason why your PC is slow.
If you are using a computer with Mac OSthere are also applications that will provide us with this data, however, thanks to its own tool, installed in the operating system, we can see, in a basic way, the same information as with an external application.
It would be enough to access, from the search magnifier, “Activity monitor
In the memory section it will show us, in order of use, the processes and applications that use RAM, where we can see, as in Windows, what demands the most on the system.
So nothing, at this point you just need to use one of these options and see if there is something that you weren’t aware of that is slowing down the computer, or if everything is fine and it You are likely to fail and I need to think about a change.
And you, how much RAM do you have in your computer, do you have just enough or do you have enough for your everyday life? If you have a desktop computer, it’s easier. In the case of a laptop, things get complicated.
