They just increased them. You now need 2GB for the 32-bit version of Win10, iirc. That's the only change, though.

- newjersey 10y agoWhat would someone with 2GB memory do with a computer? State at the desktop? Once you start opening tabs, Firefox and Chrome can easily take up 4GB memory if available.
- tehbeard 10y agoIsn't it only 1.5GB that'd be left for user apps? I seem to recall 32-bit windows only had 3.5GB total accessible for some reason.
- ido 10y ago32bits can only address max 4gb ram and I think video ram was counted for or some other overhead. With 2gb the 32bit maximum should have no effect.
- Piskvorrr 10y agoIf available. If not, you'll quickly learn to not open 50 tabs (it's not like you're actually browsing in all of them). Had to work on such a PC out of necessity, and :5 tabs should be enough for everyone" ;) But seriously: 2 GB on Windows (7) is still usable, even though not entirely comfortable. (Of course, on LXLE, 2 GB is a lot, but that's an entirely different can of worms)
