Common ig has a Celeron!
It always baffles me when like the old hard drive fit in the RAM of am average today PC. What will it be in 10-20 years, 2TB RAM in an average PC?
Chrome will still eat half of it.
All of it.
The first hard drive I used was a whole 5MB.
The OS (a variant of CP/M) couldn't really deal with it though, so it was partitioned as an awful lot of floppies.
My first PC had a 170 MB (!) hard disk and 4 MB RAM. After an upgrade to 8 MB it could (barely) run Windows 95.
Man, I remember when everyone on planet Earth said "8 GB is all you need." Anymore, 8 GB is pretty low spec. I had to upgrade an old laptop (from 2016) from 6 GB to 16 because the CPU is just fine for what I do with the laptop (surf yt, check email) but the lack of RAM was making it hang up because it was constantly having to dump stuff into and out of swap.
Yeah I recently upgraded from 8. I wish I’d just gotten 16 years ago, but I got 32 for what I paid for the 8. Turns out my games weren’t bad, my pc was
Yeah the shift from 8GB being the recommended to 16GB happened pretty suddenly around 2018ish. That being said, I recommend people get 32GB now since it's a relatively minor increase in cost and there are lots of apps that just suck butt at optimization, so it provides a comfortable buffer.
cough cough Chromium
640K should be enough for anybody.
I'm reading the other comments, and wondering why do people need to be binary like that? Yes, diminishing returns are a thing, so we shouldn't expect the same degree of improvements, but stating hard limits is also something that usually gets laughed several years later.
We old-timers have heard that exact argument for like forever. Didn't happen.
Even Intels chief engineer thought that after 3um there would be impossible to reach 1um.
1um = 1000nm BTW and we're at like 3nm
