Suggestions on how to build a DIY Mini-Computer
GrandPapillon replied to connda's topic in IT and Computers
I don't have a problem with spending extra for more RAM, I just find it ridiculous to use 8GB for a simple OS doing basic stuff. If I could get away with 1GB RAM, I would ???? my WinXP went from 256MB RAM to 1GB RAM over 10 years and everything was run efficiently, and I like it that way giving it more RAM and your Windows will just keep eating it up with stupid process and stupid things. You need to starve that beast ???? -
Germany and France were the lazy ones for the Minsk accord, they were to follow up on the ceasefire and ask Ukraine to comply to the accords that they signed, but of course, Zelensky freshly elected completely ignored that accord and was in clear violation of the spirit of the accord to move things forward. It's the collective laziness of EU leaders that triggered the situation, they knew Russia would react eventually, or maybe they were simply testing Putin to see how far he would go. I guess they have their answers now. Except the EU leaders were not on the font lines and were taking any risk, it's the poor civilians in Ukraine. They played Russian Roulette, and they lost.

Windows had always loved spreading its wings with more RAM, but it seems to be working perfectly fine with 4GB, which surprised me too maybe the RAM on Video Card GPU is being solicited more for heavy UI interactions than the general CPU and RAM -
Tourism Ministry to Delay Tourism Fee Until the End of This Year

the US has just removed their requirement for a COVID test before departure -
choose peace, not war. Zelensky need to save his people and surrender. It's the right thing to do, and he knows it. EU leaders are getting tired and there are cracks in the strategies to go forward as agreed among EU leaders obviously a diplomatic solution needs to be engaged, it's the only possible outcome

Suggestions on how to build a DIY Mini-Computer

I do actually, allocating 600MB to run Linux VMs, works great. Unless you are doing something crazy, 600MB RAM for a Linux WMs is perfectly acceptable. Most people have no clue and oversize everything because they have no idea what to do. A bit like an Indian tailor oversizing a suit to make sure your fat <deleted> can fit in ???? because Win10 is now using RAM instead of swap as the main source of memory, or some applications bypass the swap thing and go direct to RAM, without the OS playing stupid tricks with the Swap. Wouldn't have worked under WinXP or Win7. Found this running some AI project, swap file would stay the same and not grow, yet full RAM was being used. Go figure. -

nope, not even close. Swap file is 256MB and no swapping, full 4GB used Win10 dramatically changed the way it manages RAM and swap, not like before I have limited my SWAP to 256MB on 4 partitions, and never swap above 1GB -

why would you need 8GB High Performance RAM, just take standard 4GB RAM, works perfectly fine with Win10 and my CPU never reach 100% there is a small glitch for RADEON video cards if you have one your laptop that can take your CPU to 100%, it's easy to fix, it's a bug.
