    I was going to say that I agree iPhones are smartphones are of no benefit, they don’t do anything, I’m being sarcastic, but looking closer at the list, how did they get it all so very wrong?

    Don’t need 64 bit for more than 4GB? Every new computer should have 32GB and 64GB is not unreasonable.

    Don’t need full HD? How does 8K resolution sound with 16K being developed?

    I question their basic knowledge and experience with technological advancements for higher demand, more complicated work loads, and adcancements for security protections like 64 bit memory address randomization that can’t exist on 32 bit hardware.

        If they are using Windows, having 4GB for each core helps to element the need to add RAM in a few years as programs get bloated and will utilize more hardware resources.

        It’s to fully garauntee zero risk of pagefiling in te future. That’s why for people who have a Ryzen 9 I say they must have 64GB otherwise the CPU will frequently be waiting on RAM to free up space during workloads.

        Haha, I mean I’m using up 8 gigs of ram with 10 chrome tabs open, 16gb is definitely starting to look a little lightweight than I’d like at the moment. I built my PC in 2020 with 16gb and around the end of 2021 I ended upgrading with two more sticks, just to keep things running smoothly!

          With you adding my RAM, that’s exactly why I say 32GB of 4GB per core, to make sure everything runs while making sure not all hardware is being used so everything runs at max performance.

          For example if an 8 core 32GB system is using 6 cores and 14GB, then all programs are running as they should be with ease. But if a 16GB system is using 14GB, there’s not enough memory and might already be starting to pagefile.
