  • @ModernRetroGameplay
    @ModernRetroGameplay 4 ปีที่แล้ว +7

    Near the beginning of the video when talking about virtual ram and how it acts as slow ram there are 2 things i would say, 1. i do not recommend letting the system manage virtual ram automatically. If you look into the default details this will only allow a maximum of about 300mb of virtual ram which is way too small. I recommend manually setting your virtual ram, in the setting you choose the minimum and maximum set your minimum AND maximum both to EXACTLY the same size as your total physical ram. Do this once on each physical drive you have. This will give you the most bang for your buck on virtual ram and it helps. The more physical drives you have in with those settings the faster your virtual ram will work since each drive has its own independent speed and it can store half of something on 1 and the other half of something on the other to cut load time in half or more depending on the number of physical drives. 2. Also an important detail about the speed of virtual ram is the hard drive speed is the virtual ram speed so the faster your hard drives can read and right the faster the virtual ram will be.
    Reason for this: If the virtual ram min-max is set to a variable amount, it starts at the min and expands to the max if needed and each time it expands that requires CPU use so it can drop frame rates in a game for example, so by setting the min and the max to the same number you get a lot less kicks to the CPU since the system will never have to allot more virtual ram on the fly. Also having the amount set to the same as your physical ram gives your system somewhere to dump the ram if an error occurred and that dump can handle the entire load without a blue screen so it can make your system more stable having enough virtual ram to eat all the data in your entire physical ram no matter how much it has. If you do this on a normal hard drive that isn't SSD i recommend optimising/defraging the disc after you set the virtual ram and restart the computer so it can be as fast as possible. All in all hes right though there is no better solution than to just simply replace/add more ram chips.

    • @crossmission

      A pencil eraser on the DIMM contact points might solve your issue, not the hard side though, also as pointed below rubbing alcohol and compressed air in the slots but try not to blow to much cause condensation occurs easier than you think, I usually do the first burst on the floor and then short bursts on the sockets.

    • @eformance
      @eformance 6 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      I spent an hour double checking everything, because I upgraded the processor just before the RAM. I was able to isolate the problem to a single dimm by testing each slot with a good tested dimm, then trying pairs of dimms until I found a pair that failed, then trying just 1 dimm in that pair. Once I found the dimm that tested bad, I swapped it into multiple slots and ran the test, each time it failed with the same bit patterns. For 2 given addresses in the dimm, it had the high bit stuck high in one nibble and the low bit stuck high in another nibble. If the problem were caused by contacts, I would get errors in more than just 2 bits in the dimm's address space. I contacted the seller and requested a refund for the dimm and concurrently ordered a replacement from Amazon. Yes, they won't all be part of a matched 32GB set (I don't know if they still match them these days, but back in 2011 they did). The seller granted the refund and was kind.

    This was a bit of a walk down memory lane. I remember the ram doubler software but back then it was very flakey. The Apple 2 software relied heavily on paging which made their software more powerful and robust. The question comes down to this, how much memory do you need? I agree with Linus, just buy more.

But here's the kicker: I have ONLY essential progams for Startup, + Discord. But I THINK the reason it goes slow at startup is because it has an HDD. Really want an SSD either way, HDD at fault or not. Heck, if I ever do get an SSD, you can have my hard drive!

    For the longest time I thought increasing RAM would greatly increase the speed of my CPU's processes. Glad I replaced the hard disk with an SSD first. I did buy more RAM after the SSD installation in my 6 year old laptop, but the doubling of 8GB to 16GB didn't really make a noticeable difference. Unfortunately my computer is really only bottle necked by my NVIDIA 635M 2GB GPU. Nothing I can really feasibly do anything about as far as I know.

One day i even found a gtx 970 in a trashed computer! people don't understand that when a computer is broken, it's often just one part that you have to replace...
