It's not so difficult, it means that if in 2014 an average PC will mount 16GB, Windows (7+N) will have to eat at most 3.2GB, am I asking too much? BTW this would also mean that some current PC with 8GB RAM limit could be upgraded without changing mobo, just adding RAM up to their max, as they'd still have almost 5GB free for programs. |
I have 8 GB of ram in my machine, and my motherboard can support up to 16 GB. Hopefully, OS's won't get too memory heavy as I want to make this computer run any new programs and OS's as fast as it can for the next however many years.
