16 GB RAM = Fast - GoFuckYourself.com

baddog · 12-23-2011, 05:15 PM

I guess it should be presumed, but if any question, yep, 16 GB RAM will speed your laptop up.

uno · 12-23-2011, 05:17 PM

do you remember what it was like with 64kb of ram? I do.

seolinker · 12-23-2011, 05:21 PM

laptop or desktop ? is it any laptop now with 16gb ?

Vendzilla · 12-23-2011, 05:24 PM

I have an old old laptop in the garage, made me laugh when I got it out, it had a clip on roller ball

We've come a long way in a short time.

Can't wait to see what the next ten years brings us

junkiefans · 12-23-2011, 05:38 PM

I've seen laptops with 16gb.

I am about to order a couple of new computers with 24gb ram which should really kick ass. My main one now has only 8gb.

DVTimes · 12-23-2011, 06:05 PM

my first 486 had 4mb of ram

i think i paid about £100 for another 4mb to get it to 8mb

my 486 cost me £700. that was without windows, or a cd player.

then i got windows 3.1

Yngwie · 12-23-2011, 06:06 PM

I have 8gb of ram so 16gb would not increase boot-up any compared to what it is now. A SSD drive on the other hand would drastically increase boot-up.

Good old times man when Internet was fun, and full of opportunity.

mikesouth · 12-23-2011, 06:31 PM

my first job in computers was with a company called Chromatics we sold a Z80 based CG workstation (512x512x4 bit planes) for 100K

It maxed at 32K of memory and only accomplished that by using hardware memory mapping
(do the math 4 bit planes) = 128K the max addressable by an 8 bit address bus

It ran an OS stored on EPROM that was similar to CPM.

Damn I am old....

I've got an Intel i7 MacBook Pro with 8GB of RAM and a 240GB OCW SSD

I can boot up the full Adobe Master Collection from the Apple Chime in 48 seconds.

Fast enough for me ... As this type of performance doesn't come cheap.

The SSD hard drive is the main helper here. Even if you had 4gb of ram it would open at pretty much the same speed. I have a Core i7 with 8gb ram, but the hard drive is slow so I don't get to see the full speed although things still open very fast. Sometime in January I will be getting myself a ssd hard drive.

Wouldn't really speed it up if you doubled or even tripled the amount of ram you currently have.

Ya, if you had like 1 or 2gb of ram and you upgraded to 8 or 16gb of ram of course you would see a big difference, but going from 8 to 16gb you will not notice any difference unless you use your computer for VERY hardware/memory/cpu intensive stuff.

SSD is a must

leg4 · 12-23-2011, 06:57 PM

I just bumped up to 8 gig and it was nice... But 16gig must be great....

biskoppen · 12-23-2011, 06:58 PM

Combine your 16 gigs of RAM with a fast SSD drive..

My windows 7 starts up insanely fast after I upgraded to SSD

If you are on a MAC (or I suppose even if you aren't ..) check out the OWC Mercury SSDs .... their benchmarks are untouchable by most other SSDs .... and they are recommended by all the Apple forums regulars too .... I am very happy with it.

I'm not on a MAC, but I will check it out anyway.

I think 8gb will be ok for next 5 yrs if you need pc for internet, music and video

HAHA wasnt the old trs-80 like 16kb or something? I remember using cassette tapes for data then they came out with a hi tech 8 inch floppy drive upgrade. LOL. The floppy drive case alone was like 30 lbs and as big as a old 486 style PC.

Dunno what's worse - her doing that or the fact that it was on the news.

I started with a PC XT, forgot how much ram it had but it had CGA graphics.

Got a Tandy 1000 that had massive colors for Kings Quest.

This is why your computer boots up so fast. If you took out half the ram it would boot up at the exact same speed.

My existing Dell has a 128 SSD . . . the new one is significantly faster and i am not talking about just the boot up procedure. That would not even be fair since I still need to set it up the way I want it. I am just playing with it now.

V_RocKs · 12-24-2011, 12:32 AM

My first laptop was about one quarter the power of my android phone with one half the screen resolution.

facialfreak · 12-24-2011, 03:55 AM

My first computer was a Sinclair ZX-81 that had a massive 1K of on board memory, and you could buy a 16K memory expansion cartridge if you had a couple hundred bucks left to spend ...

The 64K memory module was introduced the following year, but it was just Sinclair's way of showing off their new technology - nobody could actually afford the 64K expansion module ...
