I recently bought a desktop computer, spur of the moment and didnt really do my research on it.
I have been out of the PC game for a number of years and have no idea whats good.
The basic(est) of info i have is it has an AMD A6-3620 QC 2.2GHz processor with 4GB RAM.
and a 2tb HDD.
I intend to stick some photo editing software on there, will the processor be able to cope or should i get a cheapy GPU too? It doesnt have its own graphics card, its a shared thing.
I also want to sling another 4gb RAM in there to help keep things ticking along nicely.
I know its DDR3 SDRAM, but looking you get a few different speeds, does it matter if i mix and match (i dont know what the speed of my current RAM is, can i find out?) presumably the faster chip will be sandbagged to match the slower one?
I tried watching a film through Netflix on it, and it was a bit jerky. (HDMI out, through my TV) stuck the playstation on and watched netflix thought that instead and it was fine, both wirelessly connected to the same router, same HDMI cable to the same TV. Could this be due to the lack of GPU?
Sorry for the long post, and thanks in advance for your help!
