I agree, though with ultra high speed NVMe SSDs, not having enough RAM isn’t the performance penalty it used to be for casual computer use.

- zrm 6y agoThe danger now without enough memory is that you're using the SSD for swap. I've seen web browsers eat 16GB of memory by themselves. If you only have 8GB, it might not be that slow anymore, but then you're going to wear out your SSD.
- sjwright 6y agoIs that a realistic concern for typical usage patterns?
