Emma – the ”RAM” in a computer is short for Random Access Memory and is usually measured in MB (or Megabytes) typically in multiples like 64 – 128 – 256 – 512 – 1024 etc etc depending on the exact configuration of the PC and the number of RAM sticks (or elongated circuit boards) you have in it. These fit into special ”slots” on your motherboard and computers can have anything from 1 to 4 – but typically 2 or 4. It entirely depends on the make and set up of the motherboard.
Yours has 512MB of RAM which probably means it has two RAM sticks of 256MB each, inserted into two RAM slots on the computer’s motherboard. By comparison mine has four available RAM slots on the motherboard and I have it configured with 2 X 512 RAM sticks and 2 X 256 RAM sticks making a total of 1536MB ( or 1.536GB) of RAM. Way over the top but hey – who’s counting.
Basically the more RAM you have the faster and better the computer will perform – particularly if you carry out several tasks at the same time (e.g. using Word and Excel as well as say Outlook (for e-mails) and at the same time surfing the net all whilst in the background you are running an anti virus scan).
The GB (or Gigabytes) you refer to is usually the size of the data storage capacity of the main hard disc drive (or HDD). This is where all the applications and utilities as well as the Operating System live and also where all your saved data is stored (My Documents, downloads etc etc).
80GB refers to the size of the storage area on the HDD and is the normal size you would expect on a modern computer. Some have only 10GB, some 20 or 40 GB and you can get HDDs of 120GB or more if needed.
The more GB you have available on your HDD the more data you can store. Music, photos and videos are heavy consumers of storage space whereas documents, spreadsheets and e-mails are relatively modest.
The other thing that you didn’t mention is the processor speed on your computer. Your brother’s is probably faster than yours because he has a faster speed processor than you do. Slow processors can be in the order of say 800MHz and really fast ones around 3.0 GHz. Typically 1.5 GHz is an average processor speed which should be absolutely fine for most things except maybe high speed gaming etc.
Bottom line is, to dramatically increase the speed of your computer, you increase the RAM not the HDD storage space. Adding a faster processor is not an easy option and can be relatively expensive.
Hope that this helps.

Dagger, you state your location as ‘the home of football’.
I believe you reside in Leeds; most certainly not the home of
football!There were 12 founder members of the football league in 1888:
Accrington, Aston Villa, Blackbum Rovers, Bolton Wanderers, Burnley,
Derby County, Everton, Notts County, Preston, Stoke, West Bromwich
Albion and Wolves. Three other clubs, Sheffield Wednesday, Nottingham
Forest and Halliwell, applied for membership, but were turned down
because of fixture-list problems.I trust your erroneous location will be amended forthwith.
My favourite Xmas song is Fairytale of New York by The Pogues & Kirsty

Sad puppy. I’m moved by your loyalty.
