(that's why adding some ram can have a big overall effect on machines
that were a little bit short - since extra ram will prevent it needing
to page as much in the first place, and the SSD will ensure that if it
does, you don't get anything like the performance hit as previously)



And if your mobo can support it, swapping the SATA3 SSD to a NVME M2
drive can help with the speed of teh virtual ram....

An SSD on SATA3 will top out at 560 MB/s ish whereas a Samsung 970 will
top out at around 32 GB/s....
