This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

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....
