Windows 10: 4 GB RAM - How will it run on Windows 10?

Well I just have twin 80 gb u320 SCSI drives (they're nice though *Smile ), but I hear you. On my next workstation, I was going to get twin SAS drives, but it sounds like I should consider SSDs instead. Hmmmmmmm! *Smile

 

Jody, 1GB is probably fine, unless you hit some really memory intensive app. In the long run, you're better off just letting the system manage it and not try to guess.

 

This is even more true with Windows 10 due to its memory compression, which means it may not even need 1GB.

 

should run as fine as it does with WIn8.1/WIn7

 

A bit more history ...

"In actuality"

As one of my IBM instructors in 1967 always started each new idea in the lecture with ...

IBM invented the Virtual Memory (Pagefile) concept in 1965, which was introduced with the IBM System 360-65. The hardware box (located in the left side logic gate) was called a DAT box (Dynamic Address Translator) we used to say "What's DAT? ... Do you know what DAT is? ... DAT's a DAT BOX!"

DAT was a joke among the FEs. *Cool

The Transition Lookaside Buffer (TLB) was used to store translation address to speed the process.
