@Viss @ai6yr @NatePick yeah it is a small school district and I know their solo IT guy is rather lazy. Know they have some network issues, he tells them bad lies, but I didn't think the desktops were that old.

@Viss @CliffsEsport @ai6yr @NatePick I use a laptop with 16 gb daily just fine, and I run a lot of stuff concurrently. What are you people doing with your browsers that it alone will take THAT much?

@Viss shit, EDGE (a chromium product) takes ~512MB of my system ram and it's not even running. I don't use edge, never have. Yet, it's still spawning ~10 processes that I can see in task manager.

@kajer @Viss
Edge loads at startup so it doesn't seem to be so slow to open.

@FritzAdalis @kajer @Viss I just read something about how to make it stop doing that but I apparently neglected to bookmark it - argh!

@Viss @CliffsEsport @ai6yr @NatePick
640GB of RAM should be enough for anyone.
