Yeah Ram people think is not that important but your also gunna start glitching eventually, like i can play my css for 12hrs str8 and my laptop wont glitch but on my gf laptop after 3hrs it freezes, thats why i suggest a bigger ram (My gf dad works for the canadian navy, doing nav com so he helps me with everytime to my comp)

but i do agree a desktop would be much more helpful and less expensive in end of the repairing.
