RAM

the amount of 1's you can store
how fact you can get read them back

>>61233822
That's not very informative.

>>61233822
i'm pretty sure you can store 0's too

>>61233785
It vary from application.

>>61233866
Not how it works

>>61234841
I am interest explain

Programs get lazier and use more RAM if you have a lot.

Just go for the fastest RAM that isn't too expensive (3200Mhz DDR4 right now), gives a small, but nice boost to general CPU performance for only a few shekels more
16GB is fine for almost anything, only get more if you really need it
Unless your RAM usage is sitting at 90% or more, more RAM won't benefit you

Is there a way to measure this?

>>61234948
null is the default state, it doesn't need to store zeros, simply address them.

>>61236303
are you serious?

>>61236303
To measure what exactly? Performance increases from RAM or necessary capacity?

>>61236342
The capacity that I need

>>61233866
0 just means not 1. Like how darkness is a lack of light, and how cold is a lack of heat.

Make a list of everything you'd be running on a typical maximum workload.

Run each one and determine how much ram it uses at its peak

Add totals together and add a gig for the system

Pick up some common sense while you're out buying ram

You become one with the GNU/Universe after installing GNU/Linux on your laptop with 128TB of RAM. Stupid RAMlet babies not welcome.

>>61237023
....that is exactly what it is.

sometimes we yearn for complicated explanations for simple matters.

>>61237023
That is a spot on description.

the number of tabs you can have open in your browser

Or photoshop.
