  1. For the bus, yes. Solid state memory devices excel at sequential reading of blocks of their memory and transfer to the bus. Where they loose significant transfer rate speed is with random read and writes - I/O. Here the rate is controlled by the size of contiguous blocks transferred, the queue depth, location, and cache size. If you look up reviews of various brands of nvme and ssd devices serving as random access disks, you will see that the larger the total memory - 128 GB, 256, 512, 1 TB, 2, 4, the faster overall bandwidth will be because of the ability to run parallel operations, particularly random I/O. Some I/O controllers are faster than others as well. So what difference does it make ? For most general users with web and office type uses, not much once shifted to either ssd or nvme disk devices. For applications like databases or servers, it can make a difference. The most noticeable difference for general users is at OS startup and for program/app startup. Both will take less time and feel “snappier”. After initial loading of the programs, the accesses shift to being more random in location on the device and in size of data or program code being read or written. This is still faster than on a spinning disk, but the real world feeling of nvme being faster than a sata ssd is less noticeable. It is faster though.
  2. Last i recall, the on board gpus use part of the general memory, in your proposed case, part of the 16 GB. Ram disks are mostly obsolete now with the use of nvme based memory drives.
  3. At what refresh rate for each ? at what pixel count for each ? at what colour depth ? what is the maximum of above for all four running at the same time ? Does the mb bios and connections support 4 displays at once ? Btw, those benchmarks are specific to a combination of cpu, motherboard, and memory. Raw theoretical performance of any one part is just an indication since what you experience is the combination.
  4. btw, my neighbor said it is a dump. People join the US military to get away from the island and send money back to family. There was an American PBS documentary within the last decade on life on the island. Maybe worth watching. It was on several men that joined the military and how it affected them and their families back on the island.
  5. I hear on another expat forum that Guam is the place to be for serious medical issues.
  6. Maybe Caribbean , Central, or South American countries ?
