128GB DDR4 DIMMs have landed so double your RAM cram plan

Re: Make Moooaaaarrrrrr!!!

Not really. I've never met anyone who said "yeah I've got enough memory now. I'm done."

Memory reqs grow. Midrange / *NIX system people have the same growing appetite for memory.

Just remember the 640k is enough for anyone lark.

I remember testing a server with 96 x 64Gb sticks in...

POST memory check took well.... it took over a day.

How to choose the right screen size

21:9?

So what about 21:9 screens with proper 2.35:1 aspect input akin to all the photos in the article?

Delete all you like, but it won't free up space

Jeez...

Talk about stating the blooming obvious.

Does he also have any wise words of wisdom akin to this regarding thin prov volumes?

Ok for the layman where de-dupe isn't really in use in the consumer field (much), it may be a realisation that isn't pointed out hard enough, but anyone running de-dupe in a commercial environment I would hope already knows this! Then again I don't think at the consumer level you'd be explaining how deduplication, pointers etc really work.

That and his advice only really accounts for de-dupe systems at an object level, if you're dealing with de-dupe at a block level (many tape backup systems?) the ability to release/reclaim space when you have 2Tb+ blocks of tapes even knowing what'll be released when any given volume is deleted will be tricky and will shrink over time when your factoring ratio increases natch.
