The bigger the program, the more RAM is utilised so somebody running Photoshop would appreciate a bit more RAM added to the PC for optimum performance. The PC would slow down otherwise.

There have been seemingly good attempts at luring as many kids as possible into computer science but the banter remains, kids think it’s dead boring.
