So in case you don't already know, previously I've had a pretty old computer. It certainly showed its age, having a Phenom processor from two decades ago and generally being a bit of a pain in the arse. But, no more. Yesterday I put it together after all the parts arrived, and got to work setting it up, installing all my packages and moving over my home folder. ![]() Most important thing for me is the Ryzen 5 5600. Plenty of threads to go around for compiling stuff quickly, very useful. |

Another pair of 8GB sticks came in the mail today. After having to rotate my heatsink and then installing them into my 2 remaining memory slots I now have a whopping 32GB of RAM! Surely that's enough for a couple Firefox tabs! ![]() Umm, in actuality, I wanted it so I could run VMs alongside Android Studio and everything for... development purposes, and without OOMing. The memory sticks were fairly cheap anyways, so it was pretty worthwhile. |

In that first screenshot you've ð‘’ times as much RAM than me, within 0.04% ![]() I only upgraded to 6GB from 4GB recently… (and I'm slightly confused why it's 6GB and not 6GiB, I thought memory came in 1024s?) Feel free to boo me for… the majority of things in the list. ![]() |

"and I'm slightly confused why it's 6GB and not 6GiB, I thought memory came in 1024s?" That would indeed be reasonable, but I assume that once again the reason is money: Manufacturing 6 GB simply costs less than manufacturing 6 GiB, but markets itself about as well ![]() |

Hardly in this day and age, surely? We're not exactly in the ages of 640K anymore after all... |
