I looked up your processor on Intel's site, and it will support up to DDR3-1866 RAM, up to 768GB.

I don't know your MoBo specs, but I would definitely recommend more, faster RAM. At least 16GB of DDR3-1600 for full AutoCAD 2016, if your motherboard will support it.

Windows will only allow any single application to use 50% of total system RAM (without registry/system hacking), so you will top out at 4GB available for AutoCAD. AutoCAD loves to grab RAM- I have had 2016 and/or 2017 using in the range of 8GB after running for a half day (I have 32GB installed, so 16 available for AutoCAD). Check in task manager to see if AutoCAD is using close to 4GB, if it is, this will definitely cause lagging, and eventually will cause a crash. Simply increasing the RAM speed/quantity will improve the running speed of your PC in general, and AutoCAD in particular.

 

Very cheap upgrade, as DDR3-1600 is really dropping in price as DDR4 is becoming more widespread.

Good luck.
