Buy Kingston FURY Impact 64GB (2 x 32GB) 262-Pin DDR5 SO-DIMM DDR5 4800 (PC4 38400) Laptop Memory Model KF548S38IBK264 with fast shipping and top-rated customer service. Once you know, you Newegg!
I bought both articles from Germany in 11/2022. The price was around 1200 euros. Such wow price..
It doesn't work that way. Just try it. Swap file will reserve the allocated memory lazily.

After all, they make much more money when they can sell you at least a new motherboard when any defect occurs, Users didn't ask for headphone jacks to vanish from phones or even laptops, yet they did on phones and also on some laptops already.
PS: Vote with your wallet. If there's enough people like you, the vendors will offer at least some models with RAM sockets. For peole like me, I have no problems to choose the right RAM capacity from the start (electronics is so cheap in the last decade, we don't have to postpone such expenses for full RAM capacity).

firefox is less efficient but even on ARM machines in less than 1-2 years nearly all ARM machines will have more performance than firefox needs.
just watch the benchmark its Raspberry pi 4 vs rockchip rk3388s
https://browser.geekbench.com/v4/cpu...eline=16426661
single core score geekbench Raspberry Pi 4 = 968
single core score geekbench Rockchip rk3388s= 2950
multicore score geekbench Raspberry Pi 4 = 2476
multicore score geekbench Rockchip rk3388x = 9061
as you can see the Raspberry pi 4 is obsolete... now you maybe say the rockchip 3388s is to expensive but i think the price will go down quickly.
in 6 month the price of the 3388 is less than 100€ thats for sure.Last edited by vegabook; 23 January 2023, 08:05 AM.

for me a device with 4gb ram is complete useless for me.
and for example for the pi 400 there is only a 4gb ram version... yes some people solder 8gb ram on it just to proof you can hack it.
but even pi 4 with 8gb ram is to slow for me. and most GPUs of most of the Pis are complete useless junk without vulkan support...
honestly it looks like the complete community did move away from Broadcom as a SOC supply and the complete Rasperry pi foundation more or less dissolved just my impression...
even pi 4 is 3 or more years old and this means they are more or less death ...
rockchip 3388s devices like orange pi 5 with 8 or 16 or 32gb ram its 3 times faster on the cpu side and the gpu is much faster and supports decent vulkan functionality...
i think the time of the pis is over... the raspberry pi foundation also always used complete outdated chip nodes the pi 4 is 28 nm)...
the rockchip 3388s is 8nm...
so the raspberry pi's are a complete joke you can not even save money with the pi's because 28nm vs 8nm makes sure the 3388 will win any competition.

As a former Commodore 64 and Amiga user, I think Pi could have been perfect desktop replacement for basic tasks. Even without Crysis.
However, it is so underpowered, that it defeats the purpose.
It would be OK to run as a basic low power headless server without GUI, but who needs a permanent keyboard for a server?
Ability to install nvme drive would be nice too....
I know it's very cheap, but it would be vastly more interesting if it was more capable, and not so very cheap.
If you're on budget, second hand haswell-era (AVX2!) 4 core micro pc with 8/16GB ram and proper SATA port will be better anyway.
And much cheaper.Last edited by sobrus; 23 January 2023, 10:15 AM.
