32 gigs of DDR4 260 pin RAM for the new laptop. I've had to hold off on building the VR world on that because of low resources, and porting it all back to my Thread Ripper PC is a pita. **** all that.



A lot of times you'll see PC's/Laptops with low end RAM for a lot less than a maxed out system, and you can buy RAM and install it yourself for a lot less than what mfg's mark up and install in their builds.

It's 2666gHz, and there's faster out there. I can overclock it, but RAM is mainly for memory (Random Access Memory) and when running large loads on the system it's better to have a lot of headroom. Most times when a program crashes it's due to hitting the RAM ceiling.

I can see it now... It's year 2032 and the ability of showing human emotion has declined due to reactionary gif's.

They do work quite well though.

Yours probably turns on in 1 second!
Mines an i5 on my Laptop too. 9th gen 6 cores.

My PC is where the real horsepower is. It's got a Threadripper 2990 CPU and a GTX 2080ti GPU. Beastly.

All you really need for boot speed is a fast hard drive. Also 5 seconds is great.

The speed at which a computer boots is almost entirely due to the speed of the hard drive. This is why solid state hard drives boot almost instantly. Booting off a small or even external SSD is a great idea, while storing things less time sensitive can be on a cheap 7200rpm drive.

God damn I just looked that up. This is probably a dumb question but I couldnt find the socket type. It wouldnt be AM4 would it?? And what possibly GPU do you have that doesnt bottle neck that beastly cpu?

The MOBO is a ASRock X399 Phantom 6, which is where the bottleneck really is. I grabbed this one pre-configured, but if I were to part it out myself I'd have thrown a ASUS ROG Zenith at it.

Also, the socket is a Socket TR4, also known as Socket SP3r2.

I think it's interesting that I work in IT and I don't even know what you guys are talking about nor does it ever come up in my work. I guess these kinda of details and distinctions matter more for personal hobbyists or in industries where extreme power and performance are necessary, not so much for general IT maintenance
