8GB dual-core RAM enough?
Wondering if 8GM dual-core/split or whatever is enough for work? Core i5 13th gen desktop is what I'm looking at currently. Work uses virtual desktop.
Thank you!
with the ever increasing crappiness of windows it's a good idea to go with at least 16GB RAM
Awesome, any computer desktop you can recommend? Ideally looking at 800-900 all-in desktop + 1 monitor for now.
Are those all-in-one computers any good?
AIO's are pretty nifty if all you need is a simple computer + monitor setup, I'm a fan of the Dell Inspiron AIO's (always had good luck with Dell)
Ram is cheap no reason not to get 16
Personally would even go w 32gb (I know it might be costly in laptop config) but if budget permits it will substantially smooth out the 50+ chrome web plus office app
Would I be doing that in my own time?? Work uses a virtual desktop, so ...
I don't know what the price difference is between 16 and 32 but since on a budget you're right to consider diminishing returns with the VDI... your fast computer will be limited by your VDI at some point. I might go with 16gb i7 vs 32gb i5 if you're doing heavy excel
You can always just download more RAM on the internet
i7 + 32GB of RAM, no need for a GPU ofc
I’ve got that at work and it’s decent but not a best by any stretch of the imagination
You're most likely to be kneecapped by RAM. I've got a decade old mid/high end custom build (i5 4670k) for when i don't have the work laptop. Upgrading to 32gb of RAM, even old DDR3 makes it very sufficient. Beyond that, get a decent SSD to hold the programs, videos and other media can go on an old HDD.
For IB god no. I was running 16gb on a razer blade and my pc kept slowing down with all the excel files open. I moved onto 32GB and I no longer have this problem.
But I won't be running Excel files on my own personal computer, right? Massive compliance issue, not allowed to - I only need a reasonable machine that can run the virtual desktop... 16GB RAM should be ok?
