What's your computer specs? Recently got a new CPU, so that's cool. Here's mine. Some shitty prebuild medium case with a broken side panel fan. amd socket Am3+ with a single PCI express slot. No room for expansions, just a single PCI express slot. 8 gb ddr3 of slow ass ram I still need to overclock AMD fx6300at stock. It's like an 3.5 GHZ, and 4.1 at turbo. With the cooler included with the CPU. Whole bunch of hard drives. I think all of my hard drives combined is around 4ish TB. Mostly got those hard drives from tearing apart broken or old external hard drive. Not reliable storage, but it does it's job for anime. A cheap 40 dollar power supply at 500 watt at peak. It's sketchy as hell, because no where in the manual or the cover does it tell the continues watt power. I honestly wouldn't be surprised if it broke from 2 weeks from now. I just really hope it doesn't bring my new CPU down with it. Rip. Some crappy 100 (CAN) dollar Nvidia GT something card with 1 gb of VRAM. Forgot it's specs, but oh well. It's not a very good GPU. 2 monitors, with different resolution. It's a pain playing fullscreen games, without borderless. Especially if I'm watching something while playing. tl;dr my computer sucks. I mean, it's okay for gaming, but not as good as it should be. in today's market, you can probably buy all my parts for like 350ish (CAN) dollars or something. lol
"Pentium" LOL. I'm surprised people still have that. What's your GPU? Or do you use integrated graphics? Also, download more ram.
.... Yes. No, but actually. You can't. But I do know that you can make virtual ram or something if you need memory that badly. and if you're still running pentium, I can assume that your motherboard uses ddr2. DDR2 ram is pretty cheap nowadays. and it's really easy to install new ram. You should try consider it if you want a boost in performance.
Also, if you're a designer, I bet rendering takes FOREVER. I know your pain. I used to have a similar CPU to yours.
