RE: didn't think of that (increase ram) good idea

It depends on what folks are doing and how many apps are running and particularly how many browser tabs are active, I just looked on my system and have about 7GBs of memory used. Looking at processes with 6 Firefox tabs open, I see 13 Firefox processes, a couple that had peak memory use of about 2GB with average active processes taking about 500MB or more. Other of the many apps and windows open don't take much. Browsers are major pigs.

Of course, I've got 16GB and my wife's video systems have 16GB for the laptop and backup machine having 32GB with the monster having 64GB. I was hoping to steal one of her graphics cards for my system to support my new 4K monitor, but higher end 4K cards are all out of stock and have been for 6-9 months, so any that you find are selling at 3-4 times the retail price.
