Once you start opening programs your OS is basically negligible.

Sure windows might use 5 gigs of ram on startup. But when you’ve got 100 tabs open using 20 gigs of ram the 3 vs 5 gigs is a drop in the bucket.

    This is why I have learned to immediately max out the RAM on the motherboard for my wife when I replace her machine.

    Some of these webpages are absolutely stupid in how much they load. She likes to have 40 or 50 tabs open all the time.

    Her current desktop has 64gb
