Money isn't worth anything if you don't spend it

>>59135227
what if you have so much money they can't possibly spend in a life time.

like saudi sheiks will abandon their ferrari in the dessert if they get a flat tyre. its easier for them to simply buy a new one

If my RAM is being used for caching then it's not unused RAM.

I love having 16 GB RAM even if 75% of it goes unused most of the time.

>>59135159

Frugality, even if it's more likely to be a metaphor for potential.

>Why did you give up anon? Unused RAM is wasted RAM.

>>59135159
There's an element of truth to it, RAM is used between the hard drive and the CPU as a faster form of memory. It is much quicker to reference RAM than it is the hard drive so every time the application has to wait on hard drive reads it would have been better if that data was already in RAM. If there is free RAM available and it isn't being used, then it is going to waste.

However, poor coding can lead to high RAM usage pointlessly, which can affect how much RAM other applications are able to access, slowing them down.

>>59135583
literally this
I have 4 systems with the following configurations:
i7 4790k + 16gb ram
i5 3470 + 8gb ram
i7 4500u + 8gb ram
core m3 5y10 + 4gb ram
They all perform the exact same for avaerage day-today tasks and that includes chrome with like 20 tabs open. I've never needed to recommend more than 4gb to any of my family.

Modern OSs don't leave RAM unused

having more RAM allows more shit to be open instead of the OS selecting what can use the most RAM

So why haven't you written an operating system that uses all RAM at all times?

>Where does this meme come from, /g/?
It came from long time windows users trying Linux for the first time, running a task manager and seeing their RAM being used, then running to tell everyone how resource-havy Linux is compared to Windows, when if fact Linux used the RAM that Windows would have considered free for disk caches (i.e. "not wasting" it) and was ready to give it back anytime to the user's apps when needed, automatically. In this manner, Linux deliberately claimed beforehand and utilised all available RAM, because there was no point in having RAM modules installed if they were not being put to good use.

often you can sell old legacy stuff for about the same price or bit more as brand new ram would be, because its rare and hard to find now

>>59135159
I don't know but that saying fucked me with Android phones. As soon as they don't have free ram they start force closing everything.

They do, all modern OSes do.

Hello, Cyael

>>59135159
>Where does this meme come from, /g/?
but it true, at least most OS use free ram as a cache of the disk

Unused ram is wasted ram. If you are "freeing" up ram then are are simply killing processes that will later spend more CPU time loading back into ram.

If your ram is full, you should buy more if you dont want to cache/swap disk all the time.

If your ram is not full, you are simply not using it and it is wasted. Likely you have some gay utility that is forcing your swap si that your fucking ram is not being utilized.

At any given point in time this can be true or false but of course the saying is statistically valid over an arbitrary timeframe.

>>59135159
because ram gets cheaper as time goes on so if you buy 100X more ram than you need at the time rather than upgrading when you need it, you got got.

That is still true but ram speeds keep changing and waiting to upgrade for too long can sometimes backfire on you big time. Once ram standard changes and companies stop making obsolete ram, vendors start charging a premium for it and screw you.

>>59135159
it's true for an OS. memory not being used by active tasks should be filled up with file cache just to accelerate re-read of recent data, since having it empty would be wasteful.

it's also a poorfag rally cry to defend not having more than (insert current popular number) GB.
