Yep. Besides poor, humble, fisherman I also forgot old. We do our best work when we're young. Thank you my friend.
Yes, using logarithmic scales makes it easier to visualize them on the Number Line. (OT: I still have the book "Solved and Unsolved Problems in Number Theory" by Daniel Shanks ( '62 and '78 ). Way too long ago I did exam in Number Theory).
4 GB on my very cheap W10 64-bit laptop, just enough to keep Firefox open with 5 tabs without slowing to a crawl.
1st pc was a Compaq Presario desktop sporting 32Mb EDO DRAM. Bought it in '97, I believe, with win 95. Present HP laptop has 8Gb, plenty for my needs.
Get yourself 16GB is my advice, because Win 10/11 are more resource hungry. On my Win 8.1 desktop, 8GB is enough. But I wished I went for 16GB on my laptop. I open quite a lot of tabs (50+) in Vivaldi which means I often can't open any new app or videogame before freeing some memory.
Does not hibernating background tabs help or using extensions like tab suspender? Still tools like cleanmem or reduce memory are as useful as ever, even due to common memory leaks caused by Windows 11 alone.
I don't like to use the hibernation feature to be honest, and I believe it doesn't help that much. Same goes for memory cleaners.
If you have over 50 browser tabs open, 8GB of RAM will not be enough. If you don't have a lot of tabs open, then 8GB will be enough for many people.
It depends a bit, even with 20 tabs open, Vivaldi can still use quite a lot of RAM. For example, using tools like VirtualBox or VMware are totally out of the question at the moment. When I buy my new desktop with 16GB RAM I will start to test software again inside virtual machines, I do miss this a bit. And newer videogames also need quite some RAM, at the moment I still play old versions of FIFA, Need For Speed and Unreal Tournament who all use less RAM. I'm just wondering, is there any reason why you need such an amount of RAM?
I only have 8GB in the laptop right now, and 16GB in my desktop PC. I'm hoping to upgrade my laptop's RAM to 16GB soon though.
32 GB in this laptop. Not upgradable so I figured I should get what I can. My first Windows PC has 8 MB. Windows 95 was much less of a pig.
RAM is a good investment, it has literally lifetime warranty and replacing slower RAM for a faster is not worth it, performance wise. Next time I will get more so I could install games on ramdisk, thus far I am using it just for desktop, temp, downloads, browser's cache.
I had a choice between 8, 16, 32 and 64 Gb. I almost went for 64 but I thought it was overkill for Linux lol.
