    16 GB RAM = Fast

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

        I have an old old laptop in the garage, made me laugh when I got it out, it had a clip on roller ball
        Carbon is not the problem, it makes up 0.041% of our atmosphere , 95% of that is from Volcanos and decomposing plants and stuff. So people in the US are responsible for 13% of the carbon in the atmosphere which 95% is not from Humans, like cars and trucks and stuff and they want to spend trillions to fix it while Solar Panel plants are powered by coal plants
        think about that

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

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

              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.

                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

                  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.

                      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.

                                      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.

                                            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

                                                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.

                                                    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

                                                              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.
