On: De-Bloated Windows 11 Build Runs on 2GB of RAM

[colinsane]

i’ll bet they went for less than max RAM capacity, even if they could afford it:

- most motherboards reduce the DDR clock when using > 2 sticks.

- higher capacity RAM sticks use more “ranks” (AKA “banks”), which increases latency.

as of 2 years ago, 2x single rank DDR would limit you to 64GB. but 2 years is a long time in computerland: 64GB single rank sticks sound plausible.
