RAM versus SDD

I bought a new one after every thread. But it still becomes slow as it gets old. So I should consider buying a new pc every year now?

Looks like it´s not the PC but the way you use it or what task you´re running with it.

I bought my PC like 10 years ago and when I did I made sure I had a decent PC for many years to come. I still have the same processor (i7) and I ALWAYS use an SSD as the main HD, and I just upgrade it to 16gb of memory.

So, unless you´re running some crazy resource-demanding tasks like 3Digng or gaming, I don´t think you will need to upgrade your PC every year.

I agree 100% with most of the comments saying if you have a PC with 16gb of memory then upgrading the SSD is definitely the best choice to further increase your PC speed.

But, again, it highly depends on what you do with it.

I mainly use it for browsing and some small tasks like office etc. No gaming.

My current issue is mainly chrome. It lags a lot and I had not been able to find a reason for this. With same specs, it used to run smooth on past but do not know why it lags so much now. May be some components in the pc went old and thus this happened.

I advise people to replace a business machine every 3 - 5 years depending on your budget.

If like others have said you have 16gb ram then definitely it’s the SSD that you need.
The other possibility is that you have a virus, a chrome plug-in that’s mining or something like that. I also found some legitimate plugins can cause issues in chrome.
