BlameAnesthesia 08/28/18 4:31:54 PM #17:	Kazi1212 posted... Holy shit, Im out of the loop on computer things, is 4gb ram not even considered average anymore? 8gb is low end average these days, 16gb is "safe" for now since not everything utilizes that. RAM, as always, is something that doesn't help having more than needed but very noticeable if you're below sufficient. That's why rarely will someone advocate for 32gb, and why there is debate between 8 vs 16. --- https://imgs.xkcd.com/comics/watson_medical_algorithm.png <cite>BlameAnesthesia posted [p:907704231] in Since when...
