hardware isn’t as impactful to performance as software imo, just getting rid of bloat services can improve the perceived performance for every day tasks a ton.

btw I don’t really get why increasing the amount of ram is thought of as the first step by most normie consumers, if you have enough it’s enough and even my 2gb machine runs everything fine

You’d be amazed at the startup and program opening time gains on older computers’ when you change in the HDD that is stuck at read/write speeds of 5MB/s for a SSD

  oh yeah SSDs are great, but RAM, thermals, etc don’t matter much

    If RAM upgradable to dual channel it could still make a big difference

    This. I don’t know how many people’s PCs I’ve looked at where they have ddr, but only one stick of RAM…
