Or just impossible
Many laptops still have remarkably low maximum-RAM limits. The ones I have here ( Dell SME & corporate types ) are 4GB and 8GB. I live in constant fear of the solid-blue disk-access lamp.
And when I boot-up after a swap-thrash I am scolded for an unclean shutdown :(
- loeg 9y agoYou have not given an actual example of "impossible." A computer that can hold more RAM than 4-8 GB is possible to obtain, at some cost. You may object to the cost ("expensive"), but it is not impossible.
- _ph_ 9y agoWell, considering that current Intel laptop chipsets support only 16g of RAM, this is pretty much a hard limit. Yes, you can switch to desktop hardware, but that is limited to usually heavier devices which run shorter on battery. So there are some very practical limits on increasing the RAM.
