Will this help speed up my computer?

You can, as with any other flash drive, set it up to be used as virtual RAM, if that's what you're asking. It may or may not make any noticeable speed increase though. So if you don't need a small portable storage device and you just want a faster computer, you may want to just buy something that's main purpose is that.

I'm sure it would but you wouldn't see any speed benefit from it since the 1-gigabit network speed would be the limiting factor. Do you have another reason for wanting to use an SSD such as a harsh operating environment or something?

Short answer - Yes it will. However it depends on other specs as well. What processor are you using? Do you have 8 gigs of ram?

Yes, it will improve your graphics. It may well improve your overall computer speed as well, since the computer's processor will not be tied up handling all the graphics processing as well. You're not going to see the BEST improvements, as it is only a 1 GB card (so don't buy it if you plan on high-performance gaming), but it works well otherwise.

Likely if you put Windows 8 on it. However, it does come with Windows 7, or Vista even. Installing Windows 8 on it is no problem, and provides a speed benefit.

Ya it will help the speed but only do much, the true speed will depend on your location and the bandwidth they offer in your location. Like I am in a really small town right now and it's garbage speed

If that is Only 1 USB port then Yes. If that is you have version 1.0 of USB then it may be slow .... check this article and the Crucial website ... -- http://www.pcadvisor.co.uk/how-to/laptop/3366618/how-upgrade-your-laptop-hard-disk-ssd/

Yes it works great! Actually runs faster afterwords. Just make sure you get a hard drive holder. This does not come with one

maybe a little smoother mufti-tasking, but not much on speed .I went from a 6 core to an 8 core didn't notice a big improvement

It depends. If you have 100mpbs+ and you dont currently have a Gigabit port it will increase networks speeds. If you have anything less than 100mbps all this will do is increase the speed your computer communicates with other devices on your network.

No. All a ssd does for you is access your files faster. You don't really need one. It does help if you put games on it.

Yeah, your bios will under clock it to the speed it can handle. no biggie :)

Yes, but since it comes with windows 8, you may really be running two different versions at once, thus slowing down overall performance. I would call Asus tech support and see what they say. By the way, I love this computer (despite windows 8), and it was a bargain!!!

Provided you have the correct slot open, yes, but I would suggest getting a newer card. This one is great for boosting performance of older computers, but newer ones not so much.

It would make your computer faster. Things that just involve the C Drive would be nearly instantaneous (boot up, programs, etc). Web surfing speed is mostly affect by your internet connections speed. While it would be faster, it might not be as much of a speed booster as you might like.

Yes, it will throw whatever your computer is doing but it may be pretty slow unless you have an i7 pentium processor and have the optimal set up of software

It will probably not improve install speeds because the bottleneck in speed usually occurs at the installation media (the internet or a disc--this drive is much faster than both). However, loading speeds should be improved for games that store level data on this drive.
