Ram is not really the thing that makes you computer faster, it's CPU, GPU, and Graphics Cards, Because I had a 1GB Ram, and I put 4 GB and it still ran the same. Buy a Desktop, Laptops aren't made for games or heavy shizz, there more like simple old games.

No it really doesn't. The pagefile isn't actually used how people seem to think it is, it just stores processes that are not currently active, and when they are they get pulled back into ram, you could have 512MB of ram and a 8GB pagefile, you won't notice the difference in speed
