MORE RAM! 16GB is not enough. Have 32GB or more as there are many VMs to play with. All of them eat a lot of RAM. Think about 4GB per VM if you use 64Bit OS. The 64Bit systems are more wasteful with memory as most things are now 8-byte aligned, so any variable uses 8-byte even if it is shorter like char or uint32. Maybe there are some space-optimized libraries but for performance reasons, as 64bit machine works with bigger natural address spacing, the data in RAM will be aligned for the 64bit machine, eating almost double of it! Or use 32bit VM Guests for some minor stuff. Memory is like engine displacement it can only be substituted by more engine displacement or more memory, respectively -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
